Change Theme for Gantt chart

[Bianca Strauss]

Hi,

is it possible to change the used Gantt Chart Theme in Draw.io? I am using the Mermaid API and according to documentation there are about 5 different themes offered (http://mermaid.js.org/config/theming.html) and I would like to switch here. Is that supported by the Draw.io plugin?

It's not supported. Mermaid support isn't a core feature of the app, more a bolt-on, so there's limited feature support.

You might be better off using a purpose built Mermaid plugin like https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1226567/mermaid-diagrams-for-confluence?hosting=cloud&tab=overview.

Thanks a lot for the information.

Hi Bianca. Just saw your request and at least wanted to share the link https://drawio-app.com/blog/increase-productivity-with-gantt-charts-in-draw-io/ with you. Following this blog post, you can create Gantt charts once you downloaded and embedded the gantt custom library. This way, you don't create Gantt charts via Mermaid, but you will be nearly as quick (and you can define the chart yourself, change colour settings etc.
