The 12 best Odoo backend themes, ranked
We ranked on four things. First, how much of the daily workflow a theme improves: navigation, search, multi-tab and list density, not just colours. Second, whether it runs on both Community and Enterprise. Third, how many Odoo versions it is published for, because a theme you have to replace at every upgrade costs more than its price. And last, what you get for that price, with dark mode and RTL counted as standard rather than as extras.

Clarity Backend Theme Pro for Community
by Terabits Technolab
Everything in the free Clarity theme plus the four things people come back and ask for afterwards: multi-tab browsing so you can keep a quotation and a stock move open at once, a global search that reaches menus and records rather than just the current list, a proper dark mode, and RTL. Colours, fonts, icon sets and corner radius are all settings rather than a customisation quote.
- Multi-tab management, several records open side by side
- Global search across menus and records
- Attractive dark mode
- Right-to-left language support
- Choice of sidebar menu or top menu
- Multiple font styles and icon styles
- Custom colour schemes
- Round or square border styles
- Full-screen toggle
- Bookmark management for the screens you live in
- Restyled checkboxes and radio buttons
- Kanban and list view customisation
- Login and sign-up redesign
- Fully responsive
- RTL with either the top menu or the side menu

Clarity Backend Theme Pro for Enterprise
by Terabits Technolab
The same theme built against Odoo Enterprise instead of Community. Buy this one if you are on Enterprise and the Community Pro edition if you are not, because the two are separate products rather than one module that detects your edition. Feature for feature they match, and the two dollar difference is not the decision.
- Built for Odoo Enterprise, not a Community theme forced onto it
- Multi-tab management, several records open side by side
- Global search across menus and records
- Attractive dark mode
- Right-to-left language support
- Sidebar or top menu navigation
- Multiple font styles and icon styles
- Custom colour schemes
- Round or square border styles
- Full-screen toggle
- Bookmark management
- Restyled checkboxes and radio buttons
- Kanban and list view styling
- Fully responsive
- Global search inside records and in the menu

Clarity Backend Theme for Community
by Terabits Technolab
The best free backend theme on this list, and the one to pick over Crest when the complaint is navigation rather than polish. It replaces the Community app drawer with a real sidebar you can browse, restyles list, form, kanban and Discuss views, and redesigns the backend login, sign-up and password-reset screens so the first thing staff see already carries your logo.
- App drawer redesigned for Odoo Community
- Modern sidebar navigation for browsing apps and menus
- Sidebar stays usable across every screen size
- Custom list, form and kanban view styling
- Custom Discuss view design
- Your brand logo shown in the menu
- Backend login and sign-up redesign
- Custom password-reset form
- Free, with no user or database limit

Omux Backend. Standard
by Sveltware Solutions
A workflow-first rework of the Odoo backend that runs on both Community and Enterprise. It replaces the home menu with a two-list start menu of all apps and pinned favourites, adds a two-tier sidebar with its own menu builder and instant app and menu search, and speeds up list and kanban work with Ctrl+Click to open records in new tabs and Shift+Click quick previews. The most expensive theme on this list by a wide margin.
- Two-list start menu with all apps and pinned favourites
- Workspace palette for views, shortcuts and history
- Two-tier sidebar with vertical, horizontal and mini modes
- Custom multi-level menu builder
- App and menu finder, no keyboard shortcut needed

Crest Theme Core
by Terabits Technolab
Worth being clear about: this one styles the shop your customers see, not the screens your staff use. Crest Theme Core is the free engine behind our Theme Crest website theme.

Pair it with Theme Crest when the storefront is the part that needs work.

- Product labels in three styles with custom colours
- Product offers and named pricelist offers with an offer timer

Backend Theme for Odoo Community
by BambooForge Labs
A modern, fully responsive backend theme that, despite the name, installs on Community and Enterprise alike.

It ships full OPL-1 source and uninstalls cleanly.
- Dark mode, per user
- Personal accent colour
- Drag-to-reorder apps
- Pin favourite apps
- Grid apps menu with fuzzy search
- Sticky control panel and list headers
- Mobile-first responsive layout
- Command palette tuned for touch

Beautify - Home Screen App for Enterprise
by Terabits Technolab
A focused piece rather than a whole theme: it restyles the Enterprise home screen with custom icon sets and backgrounds, so a crowded app drawer is easier to scan. It is published for Odoo 13 to 16, so talk to us first if you are on a newer version.
- Custom icon sets and backgrounds for the home screen
- 56 custom icons
- 15 custom icon styles to choose from
- 15 colour shades
- Responsive layout, built for every screen
- Lifetime updates

Circular App Icons
by Odoo Hub
Barely a theme, and that is the point. It turns the default square app icons into circles for a cleaner home screen, without modifying core, and changes nothing else. The store listing says it requires Odoo Enterprise, so it will not help a Community database.
- Fully circular app icons
- Modern dashboard look
- Lightweight and fast
- No core modification
- Easy to use
- Compatible with other themes
- Requires Odoo Enterprise
- Free

Dark mode
by Kanak Infosystems LLP
A single-purpose free module that turns the Odoo screen dark with one click, using a new colour combination and a modified font. It is published for Odoo 13 through 18, not 19, and Odoo 19 already compiles a dark asset bundle of its own, so check what you have before installing anything.
- Enable or disable dark mode in a single click
- Night mode button in the top menu
- New colour combination and modified font
- Covers the dashboard, top menu, kanban, calendar and graph views
- Also styles quotations and POS
