Differences Between Login Themes and Other Types of Themes

Here are the types of themes that exist:

• Login Theme: The UI for login and registration pages, displayed to users when they attempt to sign in or sign up.

• Account Theme: The account management interface, where users can update their email, change their password, and manage other account settings.

• Email Theme: Templates for automated emails (e.g., email confirmations or password reset notifications).

• Admin Theme: The Admin Console interface used by administrators to configure Keycloak.

Most of this documentation focuses on the Login Theme.

If you choose to implement a Multi-Page Account Theme, note that it works exactly like the Login Theme.

Here are the features that apply to all theme types:

• ✅ Testing your theme inside Keycloak

• ✅ Theme Variants

• ✅ Environment Variables

Below are the documentation pages that apply only to the Login Theme and the Multi-Page Account Theme but are handled differently in the other types of themes:

• ❌ Testing your theme outside of Keycloak (using npx keycloakify add-story and Storybook)

• ❌ npx keycloakify eject-page

• ❌ Internationalization — the other theme types handle translations differently.

In this section, you’ll find all the information you need to create the other types of themes with Keycloakify:
