Themes
Browse yabby's nine themes and find the right look for your channel.
Themes control the entire look of your website — layout, typography, and mood. yabby ships with nine themes, and switching is instant and non-destructive: your videos, playlists, and settings stay exactly as they are, so you can try every theme risk-free.
To change your theme, open the website editor and go to Design → Theme in the sidebar. Pair it with the Theme Color picker and your logo to make it yours — see Logo, colors & bio.

Default
A balanced, versatile starting point that works for almost any channel. Clean video grid, clear hierarchy, nothing gets in the way of your content.
Live example: buildinpublic.video
Minimal
Stripped back to the essentials with generous whitespace. Ideal if you want your thumbnails to do the talking.
Magazine
An editorial layout that presents your videos like feature stories. Great for channels with strong titles and a publication feel.
Live example: ted.yabby.page
Cinematic
Dark, moody, and widescreen — built to make footage feel like film. Thumbnails take center stage against a theater-like backdrop.
Showcase
A portfolio-style presentation that puts individual pieces of work front and center. Suits creators who treat each video as a project.
Live example: peter-mckinnon.yabby.page
Spotlight
Puts a bold emphasis on your featured content, drawing visitors straight to your best videos before they browse the rest.
Live example: lex-fridman.yabby.page
Terminal
A monospaced, command-line-inspired look with a distinctly technical edge. Instantly at home on developer and tech channels.
Live example: syntax.yabby.page
Adrenaline
High-energy and bold, with a design that feels fast. Made for action-packed content.
Extremsport
Rugged and intense, built for extreme sports and outdoor channels that want their site to feel as raw as their footage.
Live example: bestsportdocs.yabby.page
