A new look for your leaderboards: 18 themes, 4 layouts

24 April, 2026

A fresh design for Leaderboarded — 18 themes, 4 layouts, bigger fonts on demand, per-rank emojis, and customisable colours. Here's what's new.

A leaderboard styled with the Dark theme — near-black background, warm gold first place, Olympic-style podium top-3

Update — May 2, 2026: V2 is now the default for new leaderboards. Every new leaderboard you create will use the new design. Your existing leaderboards still render exactly as they do today on the classic V1 — nothing changes for them. If you want to keep building on V1, clone an existing V1 board and the copy stays on V1. Note: this only affects standard leaderboards — score sheets, team leaderboards, goal trackers, multi-score boards, and the other board types are unchanged.

Same data, same API, brand new look. Here's what shipped.

18 themes to pick from

Each one is its own look — not a photo background with a colour filter, but a deliberate design with its own typography, surface treatment, and accent palette. A few favourites:

Minimal Editorial theme — Playfair serif typography, monochrome palette, outlined rank circles

Minimal Editorial — magazine-style, zero ornament.

Noir Luxury theme — warm black background, gold rank-1, editorial typography

Noir Luxury — warm black, gold 1st place.

Fiesta theme — warm orange-to-red gradient, celebratory typography

Fiesta — loud, celebratory, fundraiser energy.

Classroom theme — warm cream background, colourful rank badges

Classroom — warm, friendly, readable from across a room.

Sales Champion theme — dark navy corporate TV display

Sales Champion — dark navy, built for office TVs.

Candy Pop theme — pastel gradient with pill shapes

Candy Pop — pastel gradient, playful, pill badges.

Plus Default, Gaming, Dark, Bold, Golf, Neon Cyberpunk, Corporate Slate, Iron Athlete, Fundraiser, Pub Quiz, Academy, and Fresh Start.

Four layouts

Same data, totally different feel:

List — the classic. Works for 3 people, works for 500.

Podium — Olympic-style top 3. For awards nights.

Bars layout in the Iron Athlete theme — horizontal bars sized to each player's score

Bars — horizontal bars sized to score. Great on a TV across the room.

Cards layout in the Fundraiser theme — players reflowed into a multi-column grid

Cards — reflows into columns for dashboards with lots of people.

Switching layouts is one click. Rows slide into place rather than jumping.

Make it yours

A handful of new knobs in the Appearance panel:

Density — compact, comfortable, or spacious.
Font size — drag the slider from 75% to 200% to match the room. Small for a sidebar, huge for a projector.
Colour overrides — change the accent, text, row background, or any of the three medal colours. Leave anything blank to use the theme default.
Per-rank emoji — 🏆 for first, 🔥 for second, 🎯 for third. Or any emoji at all. Built-in picker.

Bold theme with vivid gradient background

Bold — vivid gradient, glass cards.

Corporate Slate theme — professional teal

Corporate Slate — clean, teal, B2B-ready.

Neon Cyberpunk theme — dark purple background with neon pink accents

Neon Cyberpunk — dark purple, neon pink accents.

A better scorekeeper view

When you share the scorekeeper link with someone during a match, the board now hides the title block and keeps the font size compact. The scoring buttons stay on screen where you need them. The public-facing board keeps its full look.
