Gradio Theme Party Banner - We are excited to invite you to the Gradio Themes Party - a community event where we will create beautiful and personalized Themes for the Gradio apps. The event will occur for Two Weeks, from Monday, March 20th to Sunday, April 2nd. - We will be organizing this event on Hugging Face Hub and would be engaging through 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.


- Gradio is a popular choice for building demos for machine learning models, as it allows you to create web-based UIs all in Python. The interface of a Gradio application is crucial since it directly affects the user experience. We believe a visually appealing interface can make the application more attractive and valuable. Therefore, we have launched a new and exciting feature called **Gradio Themes**, which can help you add existing themes to your app, extend and personalize existing themes, improve UX for your app, and much more. We have decided to organize the Gradio Themes Party to encourage the developer community to develop stunning and impressive themes for their Gradio apps and front-ends. - Gradio can be installed via pip and comes preinstalled in Hugging Face Spaces, the latest version of Gradio that supports Themes is 3.22, and it can be set in the README in Spaces by setting the sdk_version, for example sdk_version: 3.22.0.

- Using Gradio Themes, you can use default themes (for example, Base, soft, Glass, Monochrome, etc.), extend existing themes very quickly, or create your themes from scratch. ## 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 events are 1. The **Theme Creation Contest** - Participants would compete to create the most creative or visually stunning theme for a Gradio app. We can add the best/most creative themes to default ones as a prize, plus some goodies for the top three winners. 2. **Building Sector-specific themes** - Participants would create Gradio themes targeting specific sectors like finance/health/education/art. Participants can also create themes specific to different companies - for example, an openai green theme / huggingface emoji theme / meta blue theme, etc. 3. **Inclusivity or Accessibility** focussed themes - Participants can submit apps built around themes supporting community inclusivity. Accessibility is also a key area for this segment, for example, building an app using themes that suit colorblind people or apps that support a cause like 'diversity and inclusion' etc. 4. **Best Dark Toggle** - Participants will design a theme that supports the best effects with a dark mode toggle in this segment. 5. **Gradio in disguiseπŸ₯Έ** themes - We encourage participants to design Gradio themes that would take Gradio to look and feel farthest from the default Gradio theme. This can include considerations for colors, button designs, fonts, backgrounds, and much more. 6. **Gradio App redesign challenge** - Participants will be challenged to redesign an existing trending Gradio app using new and creative themes. Participants can pick up an existing Gradio application and improve its user experience using Themes. Apps that would be made more visually appealing and user-friendly would be considered for this prize. 7. **Gradio Apps using Themes** - We encourage participants to build cool demos and use Themes along with them. You can use default themes, extend them or create new themes from scratch while making a cool Gradio demo. ## How to Participate : To participate in any track in the Themes Hackathon - - For tracks 1 to 5, you have to submit a new Theme: - Step 1: Join the Gradio-Theme Party organization on Hub. - Step 2: Read up about Gradio's new theming capabilities here - [Thiming 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 (To add code sample) - Step 4: Upload the theme to the Theme Gallery in the Hub (To add a code sample) - Step 5: Share your themes with the community on social media and Spread the good word about the Hackathon πŸ€— - For Track 6, the Gradio app redesign challenge, you have to submit a Gradio demo: - Step 1: Join the Gradio-Theme Party organization on Hub. - Step 2: Read up about Gradio's new theming capabilities here - [Thiming Guide](https://gradio.app/theming-guide/ ) - Step 3: Duplicate any existing Gradio demo (kudos if it is trending πŸ‘‘) - Step 4: Add your themes to the demo; for example, add color, background, etc. - Step 5: Publish the demo back on the Hub.
