Hi @kaiser. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave: ---------------------- Based on the provided knowledge sources, there is no direct information on how to customize the theming of the RefineKbar component. However, there is a related GitHub issue that discusses the lack of customization options for RefineKbar. From the GitHub issue #4567 (https://github.com/refinedev/refine/issues/4567), it is clear that users have requested the ability to customize RefineKbar to better suit their needs. The issue highlights the problem of not being able to differentiate between resources with the same name but different identifiers, and the lack of customization options for RefineKbar. Here is a summary of the issue: - Problem: RefineKbar is not customizable, making it difficult to differentiate between resources with the same name but different identifiers. - Suggested Improvements: Allow users to provide a template or component for the RefineKbar component that can take specialized resource attributes and render them accordingly. Since there is no direct solution provided in the knowledge sources, you might want to follow the GitHub issue for any updates or consider contributing to the discussion to push for this feature. For now, you can explore other customization options available in Refine, such as customizing themes with Chakra UI, Mantine, or Material UI, as detailed in the following links: - Custom Theme in Chakra UI (https://refine.dev/docs/examples/customization/theme/customThemeChakraUI/) - Custom Theme in Mantine (https://refine.dev/docs/examples/customization/theme/customThemeMantine/) - Custom Theme in Material UI (https://refine.dev/docs/examples/customization/theme/customThemeMaterialUI/) If you need to customize the default layout elements provided with the @refinedev/chakra-ui package, you can check out the Custom Layout (https://refine.dev/docs/advanced-tutorials/custom-layout/) tutorial. For more detailed and specific guidance, you might want to refer to the official Refine documentation or reach out to the community for support. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books: ---------------------- To customize the theming of your Refine application, including changing colors to match your application's design, you can use predefined themes or create your own custom theme. Here are the steps to customize the theme using Chakra UI, which is one of the UI frameworks supported by Refine. Using Predefined Themes Refine provides predefined themes that you can use directly. Here is an example of how to use a predefined theme with Chakra UI:

import { Refine } from "@refinedev/core";  
import { ThemedLayoutV2, RefineThemes } from "@refinedev/chakra-ui";  
import { ChakraProvider } from "@chakra-ui/react";  

const App: React.FC = () => {  
  return (  
    <ChakraProvider theme={RefineThemes.Blue}>  
      <Refine  
        // ... other props
      >  
        <ThemedLayoutV2>{/* ... */}</ThemedLayoutV2>  
      </Refine>  
    </ChakraProvider>  
  );  
};  

export default App;

import { Refine } from "@refinedev/core";  
import { ThemedLayoutV2, RefineThemes } from "@refinedev/chakra-ui";  
import { ChakraProvider } from "@chakra-ui/react";  

const App: React.FC = () => {  
  return (  
    <ChakraProvider theme={RefineThemes.Blue}>  
      <Refine  
        // ... other props
      >  
        <ThemedLayoutV2>{/* ... */}</ThemedLayoutV2>  
      </Refine>  
    </ChakraProvider>  
  );  
};  

export default App;

Creating a Custom Theme If the predefined themes do not match your application's design, you can create a custom theme. Here is an example of how to create and apply a custom theme with Chakra UI: ```javascript import { Refine } from "@refinedev/core";
import routerProvider from "@refinedev/react-router-v6";
import dataProvider from "@refinedev/simple-rest";
import {
ErrorComponent,
ThemedLayoutV2,
useNotificationProvider,
RefineThemes,
} from "@refinedev/chakra-ui";
import {
ChakraProvider,
Box,
IconButton,
Icon,
useColorMode,
extendTheme,
} from "@chakra-ui/react";
import { IconSun, IconMoonStars } from "@tabler/icons-react";
import { BrowserRouter, Routes, Route, Outlet } from "react-router-dom"; const Header = () => {
const { colorMode, toggleColorMode } = useColorMode();
return (
<Box
py="2"
px="4"
display="flex"
justifyContent="flex-end"
w="full"
bg="chakra-body-bg"

<IconButton
variant="ghost"
aria-label="Toggle theme"
onClick={toggleColorMode}

<Icon
as={colorMode === "light" ? IconMoonStars : IconSun}
w="18px"
h="18px"
/>
</IconButton>
</Box>
);
};
const App = () => {
const customTheme = extendTheme({
...RefineThemes.Blue,
config: {
initialColorMode: "dark",
useSystemColorMode: false,
},
});
return (
<ChakraProvider theme={customTheme}>
<BrowserRouter>
<Refine
routerProvider={routerProvider}
dataProvider={dataProvider("https://api.fake-rest.refine.dev")}
notificationProvider={useNotificationProvider()}
resources={[
{
name: "posts",
list: "/posts",
edit: "/posts/edit/:id",
},
]}

<ThemedLayoutV2>
<Header />
<Outlet />
</ThemedLayoutV2>
