Hi @iHACKTECHNOLOGIES,

As I mentioned in the [other thread](https://community.learningequality.org/t/how-do-i-change-the-kolibri-default-theme/2533/2), doing a search in the codebase for `theme` should give you some pointers of where the theme gets initialized: [https://github.com/learningequality/kolibri/search?q=theme](https://github.com/learningequality/kolibri/search?q=theme)

Kind Regards,  
Richard

Should I work on kolibri design system to modify themes?

No, Kolibri Design System contains a default version of the theme, but it can be dynamically set, as you can see from the Kolibri code paths I linked above.
