✏️ Writing Newsletters
Change the theme and background
How to change your newsletter's color theme and header background image.
The Style bar above the editor gives you three tabs: Templates, Background, and Style. Each controls a different aspect of how your newsletter looks.
Templates tab
Templates are full starter layouts. Applying a template replaces the current blocks with a pre-built structure. If your newsletter already has content, Daystage will ask you to confirm before replacing.
Background tab
The Background tab changes the photo behind the newsletter header. Options include:
- None — a solid color header based on your school's primary color
- 16 preset photos — school-appropriate images from Unsplash (classroom, library, chalkboard, outdoor, etc.)
Click any option to preview it instantly. You can also reach the Background tab by clicking the Photo button that appears when you hover over the newsletter header.
Style tab
The Style tab offers four color themes:
- Modern — clean white background with indigo accents
- Warm — soft warm white with amber accents
- Minimal — all white, minimal color
- Bold — darker background with high-contrast text
Click any theme to apply it. The change shows immediately in the editor.
