Part of

Used in

Odoo's backend works, but it can feel dated next to the tools your team uses every day.&#x20;
`web_theme_carbon`
&#x20;restyles it with IBM's Carbon Design System, the same design language as our&#x20;
[Carbon Theme](/open-source/carbon_theme/)
&#x20;for Frappe and ERPNext, so a business on either platform gets a clean, accessible interface. It builds on OCA's&#x20;
`web_responsive`
&#x20;and&#x20;
`web_dark_mode`
&#x20;rather than duplicating them.

## Features

**Carbon light and dark.**
&#x20;g10 for light mode and g100 for dark mode.

**Upgrade-friendly.**
&#x20;It restyles Odoo's existing markup rather than replacing templates, so upgrades are less likely to break it.

**Global search.**
&#x20;Carbon's search field opens Odoo's command palette.

**Brand colors per company,**
&#x20;which our&#x20;
[Shopfloor addons](/open-source/shopfloor-app-addons/)
&#x20;carry over to the mobile apps.

## Getting started

Add the repository's&#x20;
`18.0`
&#x20;branch to your addons path with OCA's&#x20;
`web`
&#x20;repository, and install&#x20;
`web_theme_carbon`
. The&#x20;
[documentation](https://docs.avunu.net/web-addons/)
&#x20;covers the details. With&#x20;
[odoo-nix](/open-source/odoo-nix/)
:&#x20;
`odoo module add Avunu/web-addons 18.0`
.
