Themes and layouts

Themes, composition, infographics, and example carousels in Casper.

Your assistant picks from catalogs inside Casper so decks stay on-brand. Browse these areas before you brief β€” then reference them in chat or let /create-slide choose.

Themes

Open Themes in the sidebar. Each entry is a visual system β€” typography, colour, texture β€” with a live 4:5 preview.

Ask your assistant to use a theme by name:

/create-slide for "Weekly tips series β€” use the minimal lavender theme, 6 screens"

Your own themes (themes/custom/)

Themes you create with /create-theme live under themes/custom/ β€” not mixed with shipped themes at the root of themes/. Casper lists them in the Themes gallery (catalog id custom/your-theme-name) and never deletes them when the slide kit syncs.

Typical layout:

themes/custom/my-brand.md          ← theme spec (palette, typography, rules)
themes/custom/my-brand.demo.tsx    ← optional live preview in the app

When briefing a deck, reference the theme by name or id:

/create-slide β€” 5 screens, use custom/my-brand theme

See Your folder for what kit sync updates vs what stays yours.

Composition

Open Composition for page layout patterns: covers, section breaks, proof blocks, closings with CTA, and more. These are what /create-slide maps to each screen.

Run /list-compositions in chat if you want ids printed for a specific format (e.g. 4x5), or /explore-composition to compare layouts per screen with rationale.

Infographics

AI-generated images for individual screens β€” not composition TSX layouts. See Infographics for the full workflow (browse galleries β†’ copy ids β†’ /generate-infographic).

Open Infographic layouts and Infographic styles in the sidebar, or run /list-infographic-layouts / /list-infographic-styles in chat.

Examples

Examples in the sidebar are read-only reference carousels. Study structure and tone, then tell your assistant what you want to echo:

/create-slide similar in pacing to the product launch example β€” new topic: onboarding

Scale (reference)

Casper ships dozens of patterns and themes β€” your catalogs grow with the app version. When in doubt, browse in the app rather than memorising ids.
