- We would like to invite you to the **Gradio Themes Party**, a community event aimed at designing visually stunning and personalized themes for Gradio apps. The event will take place over roughly a two-week period, **starting from Tuesday, March 21st** and **ending on Sunday, April 2nd**. - We will be organizing this event here on Hugging Face Hub and will be communicating with participants through the Huggingface Discord Server. Check the dedicated Gradio channel to stay updated with the event (need to set up a channel(or not?)). Prizes will be given at the end of the event. See the Prizes section - If there is something you would like to style via the theming API but it isn't currently supported, please use this Github Issue to report it. You can add a reply to this issue detailing what you would like to style and how you would like to style it and we will get back to you on it. ## Hackathon Tracks : Participants can take part in different tracks of the Themes Hackathon. Each track will have winners announced at the end of the event! These tracks are: 1. **General Theme Creation** - Participants compete to create the most creative or visually stunning theme for a Gradio app. We will add the best/most creative theme to our set of default themes as a prize, plus the top three winners will get prizes. 2. **Sector-specific Themes** - Participants create Gradio themes targeting specific sectors like finance/health/education/art, or specific companies -- for example, a huggingface emoji theme or a meta blue theme, etc. 3. **Inclusivity and Accessibility** focused themes - Participants can submit apps built around themes that prioritize inclusivity and accessibility. This segment places a strong emphasis on accessibility, for example, building an app with themes that are tailored to those who are colorblind or creating apps that support causes related to diversity and inclusion. 4. **Gradio in Disguise๐Ÿฅธ** themes - In this track, we encourage participants to design themes that give Gradio a completely different look and feel from its default theme. This involves creating unique combinations of colors, button designs, fonts, backgrounds, and other design elements to disguise Gradio's appearance and create a fresh and distinct user experience. 5. **Gradio App Redesign Challenge** - Participants will be challenged to redesign an existing trending Gradio app using new and creative themes. Participants will have to pick up an existing Gradio application and improve its user experience using Themes. Apps that would be rendered more visually appealing and user-friendly would be considered for this prize. ## How to Participate : To participate in any track in the Themes Hackathon, first make sure that you have installed the latest version of the Gradio library (at least 3.23 or later): `pip install --upgrade gradio` - For tracks 1 to 4, create and submit a new Theme: - Step 1: Join the Gradio-Theme Party organization (this org) on Hub. - Step 2: Read up about Gradio's new theming capabilities here - [Theming Guide](https://gradio.app/theming-guide/ ) - Step 3: Create a brand new theme - Either by extending the default or other user-generated themes or creating a new theme from scratch - Step 4: Upload the theme to the Theme Gallery in the Hub, e.g. `my_theme.push_to_hub(repo_name="my_theme")`.
