Customization

The template allows you to make it yours by defining a custom color palette. You can create and pass your own theme dictionary to the modern-resume function:

// Define a custom theme once
#let custom-theme = (
  primary: rgb("#ffc0cb"),      // Pink background for header
  secondary: rgb("#222A33"),    // Dark background for contact info
  accentColor: rgb("#449399"),  // Accent color for headings and details
  textPrimary: rgb("#000000"),  // Primary text color
  textSecondary: rgb("#7C7C7C"),// Secondary text color
  textMuted: rgb("#ffffff"),    // Text color for elements on dark background
)

// Use it in the main resume function
#show: modern-resume.with(
  // ... other parameters
  theme: custom-theme,
)

// And reuse it in individual components for consistency
#experience(
  // ... parameters
  theme: custom-theme,
)

#project(
  // ... parameters
  theme: custom-theme,
)

#pill("Skill", theme: custom-theme)

If you don't specify a theme, the default theme will be used. All components accept a theme parameter that allows you to customize their appearance.
