Design & Themes

Make your presentations visually stunning with Gamma's theme system, custom branding, animations, background styles, and advanced design controls.

Theme System

Gamma's theme system is the fastest way to give your presentation a polished, professional look:

• Built-in themes: Choose from dozens of professionally designed themes covering styles from minimalist to bold, corporate to creative
• One-click change: Switch themes at any time. Your content adapts instantly to the new design
• Consistent styling: Themes apply coordinated colors, fonts, spacing, and backgrounds across all cards
• Theme preview: Preview how your content looks in different themes before applying

Custom Branding

For organizations that need on-brand presentations, Gamma supports full custom branding:

• Logo placement: Add your company logo to the header or footer of every card
• Brand colors: Define primary, secondary, and accent colors that replace theme defaults
• Custom fonts: Upload your brand fonts or choose from the extensive font library
• Brand kit: Save your branding settings as a reusable brand kit that can be applied to any presentation

Fonts and Colors

Typography

Gamma gives you fine-grained control over typography:

• Separate font selections for headings and body text
• Font size presets (small, medium, large) that scale appropriately
• Weight options from light to bold
• Line height and letter spacing controls
• Google Fonts integration with hundreds of available fonts

Color Palette

Customize your presentation's color palette:

Layout Options

Control how content is arranged on each card:

• Full-width: Content spans the entire card width
• Contained: Content has comfortable margins for readability
• Split: Divide the card into two or three sections
• Overlap: Layer elements for creative, modern layouts
• Centered: Content centered horizontally and vertically

Animation Settings

Add subtle motion to your presentations for a dynamic feel:

• Card transitions: How cards transition between each other in slide mode (fade, slide, zoom)
• Block animations: How content blocks appear within a card (fade in, slide up, scale)
• Animation speed: Control the duration from snappy to cinematic
• Sequential reveal: Content blocks can appear one by one as you click through

Background Styles

Gamma offers multiple background options for cards:

• Solid colors: Clean, simple backgrounds from your color palette
• Gradients: Linear or radial gradients with custom colors and direction
• Images: Full-bleed background images with overlay controls for text readability
• Patterns: Subtle geometric or organic patterns for visual texture
• Transparent: Let the page background show through for a cohesive multi-card look

Image Effects

Enhance images with built-in effects:

• Rounded corners: Apply consistent border radius to all images
• Shadows: Add depth with drop shadows
• Filters: Apply brightness, contrast, saturation, and blur effects
• Masks: Shape images into circles, rounded rectangles, or custom shapes
• Overlay: Add color overlays for consistent tinting across different images

Responsive Design

Gamma presentations are inherently responsive:

• Cards automatically reflow for mobile, tablet, and desktop viewing
• Multi-column layouts stack vertically on narrow screens
• Font sizes scale proportionally
• Images resize without distortion
• No extra work needed - responsiveness is built into the platform

Custom CSS

For advanced users, Gamma allows custom CSS injection on paid plans:

/* Custom heading style */
h1 {
  background: linear-gradient(135deg, #667eea, #764ba2);
  -webkit-background-clip: text;
  -webkit-text-fill-color: transparent;
}

/* Card hover effect */
.gamma-card {
  transition: transform 0.3s ease;
}
.gamma-card:hover {
  transform: translateY(-4px);
}

Importing Brand Kits

Enterprise teams can import their full brand kit into Gamma:

• Upload brand font files (TTF, OTF, WOFF)
• Define color palettes with exact hex/RGB values
• Upload logo variations (full, icon, dark background, light background)
• Set default settings that apply to all new presentations in the workspace
• Share brand kits across team members for consistent output
