Keycloak theming has always been a pain point. The default themes that come with Keycloak leave a lot to be desired stylistically and cannot be customized easily. We have maintained our own set of disparate custom themes for the login, email and admin consoles but that has led to a maintenance nightmare and a disjointed user experience.

We've completely rebuilt our bundled Keycloak themes. What used to live as a tangle of custom pages inside a forked Keycloak repository is now a first-class Keycloakify-based React application that ships four themes: login, admin, account, and email. The result is faster to maintain, far more capable, and dramatically better out of the box for the organizations using Phase Two today.

Starting now, all Phase Two containers ship with this theme bundled. Any realm you create through the Phase Two Dashboard automatically gets the new login, admin, account, and email themes active—no configuration required. The first time a user hits your login page or receives an email from your realm, it already looks good.

Our pal over at Keycloakify has been working on creating a simple OpenId Connect (OIDC) library called, OIDC Spa. As with Joseph's usual approach to user friendliness, OIDC SPA simplifies a lot of the integration work than can come with adding an Authentication and Authorization layer to your application. Follow along as we show you how to integrate OIDC SPA with a Phase Two's free Keycloak instance.

Phase Two has long been big fans of Keycloakify. The work being done by Joseph Garrone is in our opinion some of the best user-focused work in the Keycloak community. Keycloakify brings the ability to theme the Keycloak frontend applications: Login, Account, Admin(coming) using modern toolsets like React or Angular and theming systems like Tailwind or Material-UI. Keycloakify allows you to build quickly and deploy themes to your Keycloak installation in a manner that the existing Keycloak toolset (ftl templates) does not.
