Look and feel

Make every game look like it was built by your own team. Set the font, corners and colors in Style, and choose what players see before, during and after the puzzle in Features.

Style

Open a game and press Style in the top bar. Changes show in the game on the right as you make them.

Match your brand

The fastest start. Under Match your brand, type your website's address, such as yourbrand.com, and press Import. Playgent reads your site and offers a Font, Main color and Corners. Keep what you like, and press Apply to game.

Font

Choose from Suggested fonts, any Google Fonts family, or Your fonts. Game default keeps the game's own font.

To use your brand's own font files:

  1. In Font, choose More › Upload a font…, or go to SettingsFonts.
  2. Drop a WOFF2, WOFF, TTF or OTF file, up to 2 MB.
  3. Give it a Font name, and set its Weight and Style. Upload one file per weight: files with the same name make one font.

Uploaded fonts work in every game in the workspace, up to 30 files.

Corners

None, Small, Medium or Large, or the game's Default.

Colors

  • Main color sets buttons, highlights and accents. Pick it, or type a hex code like #533afe.
  • Many games also have their own colors. Worday, for example, has Correct, Present and Absent for its letter tiles.
  • Reset brings back a color's default.

Features

Press Features in the top bar. Only the switches a game supports are shown.
