IPS5.0.0+
Descend beneath the surface with an imposing Locust-inspired theme built from carved stone, bone armor, oxidized iron, chains, furnace embers, dusty ochre, and deep blood-red war markings. Its subterranean fortress atmosphere gives your community a brutal and ancient character distinct from the mechanical COG and luminous Lambent designs.
Rugged borders, reinforced panels, brutalist insignias, and worn metal textures create a sense of weight throughout the interface. Content surfaces remain calm and near-black so posts, articles, messages, and application data stay easy to read, while bone, bronze, ochre, and blood-red accents establish a clear hierarchy around them.
The visual treatment reaches across Forums, Downloads, Gallery, Blogs, Events, Courses, Commerce, Pages, Messenger, profiles, and clubs. Custom fallback images replace generic application artwork, while themed buttons, menus, alerts, application insignias, widget frames, cover photos, and editor and forum-post watermarks reinforce the Locust identity throughout the platform.
Responsive mastheads are individually composed for desktop, tablet, and mobile rather than relying on one image for every display. The theme supports both Classic and Sidepanel layouts while preserving the familiar Invision Community functionality, including responsive menus, sticky message navigation, editors, dropdowns, forms, moderation tools, and official application behaviors.

IPS5.0.00+
Transform your community with the dangerous energy of the Lambent. This theme combines scorched gunmetal, fractured industrial armor, smoky surfaces, drifting ash, and luminous Imulsion-inspired fissures to create the appearance of a battlefield being consumed from within.
Glowing amber and molten-gold accents flow through the interface as active borders, icons, links, controls, and structural highlights. These brighter elements are carefully restrained so they stand out against the charred olive-black surfaces without overwhelming page content or reducing readability during longer visits.
The Lambent identity carries throughout Forums, Downloads, Gallery, Blogs, Events, Courses, Commerce, Pages, Messenger, profiles, and clubs. The package includes application-specific insignias, fallback artwork, themed cover images, textured button families, distinctive header frames, editor and post watermarks, menus, alerts, popovers, and consistent interactive states.
Separate desktop, tablet, and mobile artwork ensures the corruption-inspired scenery remains dramatic and properly framed across responsive layouts. Classic and Sidepanel configurations are both supported, with the original Invision Community behavior preserved for navigation, editors, messaging, sticky elements, moderation controls, forms, and official applications.

IPS5.0.0+
Bring the disciplined strength of the COG to your Invision Community with a dark, industrial design inspired by massive military engineering, battle-worn armor, and fortified command centers. Layered gunmetal surfaces, scratched steel, recessed panel seams, rivets, and subtle mechanical detailing give the interface a powerful presence without making it feel cluttered.
Cool blue-steel accents define navigation, borders, icons, selected items, and primary actions, while aged brass provides restrained secondary emphasis. Bone-white text and warm gray supporting copy remain highly readable against the near-black content surfaces. Crimson is reserved for errors and destructive actions, giving every color a clear purpose within the design.
The theme extends consistently across Forums, Downloads, Gallery, Blogs, Events, Courses, Commerce, Pages, Messenger, profiles, and clubs. Custom application insignias, fallback images, textured buttons, reinforced widget headers, editor and post watermarks, menus, popovers, alerts, and navigation elements make the entire platform feel like one unified experience.
Dedicated desktop, tablet, and mobile mastheads help the artwork remain properly composed at every screen size. Both Classic and Sidepanel layouts are supported while retaining the familiar functionality of Invision Community, including responsive navigation, sticky Messenger elements, editors, dropdown menus, moderation tools, and application-specific controls.

Font Awesome — use the icons you already pay for
Invision Community ships Font Awesome 6 Free and gives you no way to change it. If you have a Font Awesome Pro subscription, none of it works here. If you want an icon added since 2024, it isn't there.
This is a small, free application that fixes both.
It costs nothing. There is no licence key and nothing to renew. If you use Kit mode you are using the Font Awesome subscription you already have — this simply lets Invision Community see it.
Two modes
Mode
What you get
Font Awesome 7 Free
2,606 icons instead of 2,492 — 115 more than Invision ships. No account needed.
Your Kit
The full Pro set — around 68,000 icons across six styles, plus Sharp and Duotone if your plan includes them.
Both load from Font Awesome's own CDN, not a third-party mirror.
Kit setup is one field
Paste your Kit ID and save. It accepts whatever you have to hand — the bare ID, the kit URL, or the entire <script> tag copied from your Font Awesome dashboard. There is a Test the connection button that tells you what actually loaded before you go looking at your site.
Nothing breaks
This is the part worth understanding, because it is why the application is safe to install on a live community.
Invision Community loads its own Font Awesome from a core template that offers no way to remove it. Rather than edit that file — which an upgrade would overwrite — this loads afterwards and takes precedence.
That has a real benefit beyond upgrade safety. Font Awesome 7 dropped exactly one icon that existed in 6 (fa-vector-square). Because Invision's copy is still underneath, that icon keeps working. An application that replaced Font Awesome outright would have broken it silently on every site using it.
The cost is about 70KB of stylesheet that goes unused. That is the trade, stated plainly.
What you control
Which mode — Free 7 or your Kit
Which release of Font Awesome 7
Whether the AdminCP uses it too, or stays exactly as Invision ships it
Turn it off at any time and you are back to stock, immediately
Requirements
Invision Community 5.0 or newer (self-hosted)
For Kit mode: a Font Awesome account with a published kit. Free plans have kits too.
Outbound HTTPS from visitors' browsers to Font Awesome's CDN
No core files are edited, no database tables are created, and nothing is stored except your settings.

IPS5.0.0+
Theme Profiles is a simple styling tool for who don’t want to install or manage multiple themes, or those who prefer a clean, minimal, and hassle-free experience.
Instead of switching themes or editing custom.css, you create CSS profiles and change your site's appearance instantly. You can create profiles for seasons, special events, or different design styles, then switch between them with one click.
No duplicated themes, no broken updates, no wasted time. One theme. Multiple styles.
Note: The application works best with the IPS Default Theme.
