Theme Installation Guide

Follow these simple steps to install and enable the Fluent (Dark) theme in OBS Studio.

1

Prepare the Files

Download the release package from the repository and extract the contents. Ensure you have the following file structure ready before moving them:

Folder Your Extracted Folder
Document fluentdark.obt (Theme configuration)
Document fluentdark.qss (Styles and layouts)
fluentdark (Custom SVG assets folder)
Warning
Important Folder Name Rule: The assets folder must be named exactly fluentdark (all lowercase, no spaces). This ensures OBS Studio's internal resource paths can locate and load the custom icons.
