Templates and theming

Three layouts, your colours, your fonts, your logo.

Templates

Template Layout
classic The familiar status-page layout: overall banner, component list, incident history below
minimal Stripped back — status and components, very little else
dashboard Denser, metrics-forward, for a technical audience

darkMode Whether the page renders dark

Fonts

Fonts are restricted to a fixed list so pages stay fast and render consistently:

  • Inter
  • Space Grotesk
  • JetBrains Mono
  • DM Sans
  • IBM Plex Sans
  • Nunito
  • system-ui

system-ui is the fastest option — no font is downloaded at all.

Logo and favicon

Both are uploaded on the status page settings and can be removed later. Use an SVG or a suitably sized PNG; the favicon is what people see in a pinned tab during an outage, so it is worth setting.

Design advice

  • Contrast over brand. A status page is read in a hurry, often on a phone, sometimes by someone stressed. If your brand colour is a pale grey on white, do not use it for the status indicators.
  • Do not rely on colour alone. Glowo pairs colour with text and shape, and you should not undo that with a theme where every state looks similar.
  • Test dark mode if you enable it. A logo with a transparent background and dark artwork disappears.
