Gum.Themes.ForestGlade.SilkNet 2026.7.22.1

Gum.Themes.ForestGlade

A lush canopy / forest theme for Gum UI Forms controls. Deep teal-green canopy backdrop, saturated leaf-green fills, sunlit yellow border tints, and a signature leaf-shaped corner silhouette (sharp top-left / bottom-right, rounded top-right / bottom-left). Body text uses Nunito; the Window title bar uses Fraunces italic.

The leaf silhouette uses the per-corner radii API on Gum's RectangleRuntime (requires Apos.Shapes 0.6.9 or later for the rounded-corner rendering).

Install

Pick the package matching your runtime:

• MonoGame: dotnet add package Gum.Themes.ForestGlade.MonoGame
• KNI: dotnet add package Gum.Themes.ForestGlade.Kni
• raylib: dotnet add package Gum.Themes.ForestGlade.Raylib

Usage

Call the parameterless ForestGladeTheme.Apply() once after initializing Gum — the same call on every backend:

using Gum.Themes.ForestGlade;

protected override void Initialize()
{
    GumService.Default.Initialize(this);
    ForestGladeTheme.Apply();
    base.Initialize();
}

On MonoGame/KNI a legacy ForestGladeTheme.Apply(GraphicsDevice) overload remains for source compatibility; the graphics device is now resolved internally, so prefer Apply().

Every default Forms control now renders in the Forest Glade style. For best effect, clear your back buffer to the canopy background:

GraphicsDevice.Clear(ForestGladeStyling.ActiveStyle.Colors.CanopyDeep); // #053239

Colors and fonts are mutable — set ForestGladeStyling.ActiveStyle.Colors.* / .Text.* before calling Apply() to restyle the theme without forking its source.

Fonts

• ForestGladeStyling.ActiveStyle.Text.FontFamily — defaults to "Nunito" — body typeface, Regular and Bold.
• ForestGladeStyling.ActiveStyle.Text.TitleFontFamily — defaults to "Fraunces" — display face used on the Window title bar (italic only).
• ForestGladeStyling.ActiveStyle.Text.IconFontFamily — defaults to "Forest Glade Icons" (DejaVu Sans Mono) — for ✓ ✕ ▼ ▴ ▲ ◀ ▶ ✿ glyphs the body typeface doesn't cover.

The leaf silhouette

Every chrome surface in the theme uses the same four-corner radii pattern — sharp on the top-left and bottom-right corners, rounded on the top-right and bottom-left. Sizes scale with surface size (--leaf-sm/md/lg/xl in the CSS spec):

If you compose custom visuals on top of this theme and want them to match, the same helper is available in code: ForestGladeLeaf.ApplySmall / Medium / Large / ExtraLarge (internal — copy the same per-corner pattern into your own visual).
