One of the most common requests we have had from customers is to make it easier to make Zingtree decision trees look even more awesome. So our design team and engineers worked together to make new animated themes, some colorful static themes, and an easy-to-use mechanism to make tree color customizations easy.
You can try this now on one of your existing decision trees, by clicking Set Colors in the Settings tool. If you don’t have a tree built yet, try it using one of our Gallery trees.
Once you launch Set Colors, you can choose from various themes, and also customize the color scheme used in each theme. The control panel is easy to use – it looks like this:

Here are a couple of examples of what your decision trees can look like:

Advanced Customization – Technical Details
Zingtree’s theme and color customization scheme works by generating a CSS file, which controls how your decision tree appears. If you want even more customization, you can:
- Extract the CSS file that Zingtree builds – this is in the Custom CSS URL field in Settings. (Just open that URL in your browser.)
- Modify the file in any text editor.
- Upload the modified file to your own server. (Note that this file must be accessible via an https URL. If needed, we can host it for you. Just ask!)
- Enter the URL of the new file in the Custom CSS URL field in the Settings tool.
