Thematiq

Bring the official look and feel of NL Design System to your Nextcloud. Pick your organisation, and every screen follows.

Thematiq (formerly NLDesign) is a Nextcloud app that does one thing: it dresses your whole Nextcloud in your organisation's official house style. Pick "Gemeente Utrecht" from a list of 44 and the login page, the header, the logo and every app follow the same minute. Your Nextcloud looks like your municipality's website. Residents recognise it, and staff stop wondering whether the login page is real. Not your organisation on the list? Upload your own house style. Released under EUPL-1.2 and maintained by Conduction since 2019.
What it does

The official colours, type and buttons. One install, every screen.

NL Design System is how Dutch government interfaces are supposed to look: the colours, the type, the buttons, the focus ring, the form fields. Thematiq brings that into your Nextcloud without a design project.

Pick your municipality from a list of 44. Done.

Today a new Nextcloud looks like every other Nextcloud, and a resident who lands on it wonders whether it is really the council. Instead, an administrator picks the organisation from the list: the national government, Amsterdam, Utrecht, The Hague, Rotterdam and forty more. The login page, the header, the logo and every app follow the same minute. Your Nextcloud looks like your website.

Not on the list? Upload your own house style.

A province, a water board, a shared service centre. Upload your own colours and type and Thematiq checks them before they go live, including whether the contrast is readable. Adjust a colour in the browser, see it change on the spot, reset it when you change your mind. Export the result and load it on your test and production servers, identical.

Readable by default. Accessibility comes with the style.

Contrast, focus rings and keyboard paths follow the same government guidance your website is held to. The font is the open one the government uses, shipped inside the app, so no browser fetches it from somewhere else. A high-contrast variant is on the roadmap.

Every app you install picks it up. Exclude one when you must.

Install a new app next week and it wears the house style from its first screen. Need one app to stay on stock Nextcloud looks while you test? One toggle per app in the admin settings, no configuration files. Roll the style out organisation-wide, app by app, at your own pace.

When the design system changes, you get the update proposed.

NL Design System keeps moving. Every night Thematiq checks the published styles for changes and proposes them to you as an update. You decide when to take it. Your Nextcloud stays in step with your website without anyone watching a changelog.

Free, forever.

No licence per user, no yearly renewal. Switch hosting partner and the theme travels with your data. Open source, so the house style you built stays yours.

Three ways Thematiq earns its place

It looks like your organisation. And it stays that way.

Three things you would normally pay a design agency for. In Thematiq they are built in.

Automate

A new app arrives. It is already in your colours.

Today: every new tool comes with its own look, and someone files a ticket to get it branded. Instead, install the app and it wears the house style from its first screen. Nothing to configure. When NL Design System publishes a change, Thematiq notices overnight and proposes the update; you accept it when it suits you. Modest, and exactly enough.

Make it yours

Your municipality, your logo, your blue. This is the whole point.

Pick your organisation from 44 house styles, or upload your own. Change one colour in the browser and see the whole Nextcloud follow, live. Reset what you regret. Keep one app on stock looks while you test. Export the finished style and load it on the next server, identical. A design project that takes an afternoon, done by an administrator, not an agency.

Talk to it

Nothing to ask a theme. The assistant just wears it too.

A theme has no records to question, so there is honestly little to talk to. What Thematiq does for the assistant is what it does for every other app: the chat window your staff open follows the same house style as the rest of the workspace. One look, everywhere, assistant included.

Where the house style lands

The login page, every app, and the icons in between.

Thematiq has no screens of its own beyond the settings page. Its work shows up everywhere else.

The first thing anyone sees is the login page. With Thematiq it carries your logo, your colours and your type, the same as your website. A resident who was sent a link knows they are in the right place. A colleague who gets a phishing mail notices at once that the fake one looks wrong.
