TinyShip Brand Customization

Guide for rebranding a TinyShip project with custom name, logo, theme, and language settings.

Step 1: App Name

Edit config.ts in the project root:

export const config = {
  app: {
    name: 'YourAppName',  // was 'TinyShip'

This name appears in page titles, the navbar, email templates, and throughout the UI.

Step 2: Logo

TinyShip supports two logo modes:

Mode A: Icon + Text (default)

1. Prepare a square icon (recommended: 24x24px SVG, white fill for colored backgrounds)
2. Place the file in the public/ folder of the active app (e.g., apps/next-app/public/logo.svg)
3. Also place in apps/docs-app/public/ if the docs app exists
4. Update config.ts:

logo: {
  iconUrl: '/my-logo.svg',
  fullLogoUrl: '',
  iconClassName: 'bg-blue-500 rounded-full p-1',
}

Mode B: Full Logo Image

1. Prepare a wide logo image (recommended: 200x40px PNG/SVG)
2. Place in the active app's public/ folder
3. Update config.ts:

logo: {
  iconUrl: '/my-icon.svg',
  fullLogoUrl: '/my-full-logo.png',
  iconClassName: '',
}

Step 3: Color Theme

TinyShip includes 5 built-in color schemes:

Update config.ts:

theme: {
  defaultTheme: 'light',           // 'light' or 'dark'
  defaultColorScheme: 'claude',    // pick from table above
  storageKey: 'yourapp-ui-theme'   // change to avoid conflicts
}

Custom Theme

For a fully custom color scheme:

1. Visit tweakcn.com/editor/theme
2. Design your theme visually
3. Export the CSS
4. Create a new file in libs/ui/styles/themes/ (e.g., my-theme.css)
5. Add the exported CSS with a class selector (e.g., .theme-my-theme)
6. Register the theme in the theme configuration

Read libs/ui/AGENTS.md for theme system details.

Step 4: Default Language

Update config.ts:

i18n: {
  defaultLocale: 'en',        // 'en' or 'zh-CN'
  locales: ['en', 'zh-CN'],
  cookieKey: 'NEXT_LOCALE',
  autoDetect: false            // set true to detect browser language
}

Step 5: Verify

1. Start the dev server and check:

- Navbar shows new name/logo - Theme colors are applied - Default language is correct

1. Toggle dark mode to verify theme works in both modes
2. Switch language to verify i18n still works
