Style PlantUML

PlantUML supports themes, skin parameters, colors, sprites, and element-specific style rules.

Start with the general presentation settings. Edit shared or raw presentation in Details, and keep renderer-specific styling in Source.

Source controls

  • Use !theme to apply a bundled theme.
  • Use skinparam for global or diagram-specific values.
  • Add color values to elements when you need a local override.
