Tiki's Themes Feature New Designs and Page Elements!
New Theme Features in Tiki 25 and 26
Tiki 25 and 26 themes have evolved with the ongoing progress of the recently released Bootstrap versions 5.2 and 5.3. New features include increasing use of CSS variables, support for color modes, new helpers and utilities, and accordions.
Updating a theme for Tiki 26
There's been a focus on easier configuration and customization by site admins in the latest Tiki releases. This is made possible by CSS variables (custom properties). Many design details can be adjusted at a Tiki website by defining the relevant CSS variables in Look and Feel admin. The code for pagetop navbars in particular has been updated to facilitate this.

New aftermarket themes on the horizon
Customizing via CSS variables, along with support for light, dark, auto, and (coming soon) site-specific color modes, can now do some of what was formerly done by child themes and aftermarket themes.
But for even more visual and layout options for Tiki websites, new aftermarket themes for the latest versions of Tiki are in the pipeline. Updates of previously released themes as well as new themes will be listed when they are ready, and then can be demoed at the designer's website and downloaded.

Many sources
Any Bootstrap 5 style sheet (as of Tiki 25) can be a Tiki theme - adapted from HTML or another CMS, or written from scratch.
"Up to 11*"
Tiki extends Bootstrap to cover all Tiki features and multiply styling and layout options.

Just styling
Tiki themes are for laying out and styling the site only. - No need to worry about affecting site security or functionality.
Tiki is mature software that's still steadily evolving.
Recent transitions include the integration of Vue.js and upgrade of the Bootstrap CSS Framework to version 5.3. Design flexibility has always been a strong point of Tiki, and this is melded with the familiar languages of Bootstrap and Vue.
