Works with CiviCRM 6.10 or higher.

Theme and Interface

"The Island" is a theme for CiviCRM based for the River theme. It aims to provide a nice out-of-the-box experience for:

  • Form Builder and SearchKit
  • Mobile devices (narrow screens)
  • Dark mode
  • CiviCRM Standalone and all other content management systems (CMS), such as WordPress, Drupal 9/10, Backdrop, etc.

The theme has rather strong opinions about:

  • Avoiding bold, borders, mixing too many colours
  • Reducing visual clutter

There are also extra features, such as:

  • Displaying token-based information under the contact's name, when viewing a contact record. Ex: city, membership status, or anything that can be token-based, works well with SearchKit Tokens

Demos:

Requirements:

  • On CiviCRM Standalone: works out of the box
  • On Drupal 7: we recommend to set the CiviCRM Admin theme to "Seven"
  • On Drupal 10+: works with the Clara theme
  • On WordPress: works out of the box - if you are using the "CiviCRM Admin Utils" plugin, make sure to un-check the setting "fix CiviCRM menus".
  • Backdrop and Joomla: not actively tested, but it should work.

The Island was previously based on the Shoreditch theme.

To upgrade from Shoreditch:

  • Disable/uninstall Shoreditch
  • Install this extension
  • If necessary, check the settings under Administer > Customize Data and Screens > The Island
