# Spring '26 Custom Styling for Screen Flows: A Flow Builder's Guide

# Screen Flows, Styled Your Way: What Spring '26 Changes for Flow Builders

Salesforce Flow has grown from a process tool into the front door of half your org's user experience. And with every release, the gap grows between what a screen flow *does* and what it *feels like*. Spring '26 narrows that gap: Flow Builder now gives builders real control over how screen flows look, not just how they behave.

## Why flow styling matters

Most admins can recite the pain: a screen flow that works perfectly in testing but looks like a database form in production. Users skip help text, misread labels, and abandon multi-step flows halfway. Styling isn't vanity work — clearer screens mean fewer errors, fewer support tickets, and flows people actually finish.

## What's new for screen flow styling in Spring '26

**Custom themes and brand styling.** Flow Builder in Spring '26 lets you apply custom styling to screen flows — matching your org's brand rather than shipping Salesforce's default look. Colors, fonts, and spacing can be tuned at the flow level, so a customer-facing flow and an internal agent console can each wear the right skin.

**Section-level control.** Styling applies where it counts: you can differentiate sections within a single screen, guide the eye to primary actions, and visually separate informational content from inputs. Builders no longer have to choose between one flat style and hand-built Lightning components for polish.

**Reusable style presets.** Define a look once and reuse it across flows. This is the quiet win for teams: a shared preset keeps every flow consistent, and when brand guidelines change, one update propagates instead of dozens of manual touch-ups.

## Practical tips before you restyle everything

- **Start with high-traffic flows.** Restyle the flows users see daily first — the ROI on a five-minute screen matters most where five thousand people see it.
- **Keep accessibility in mind.** Custom colors and contrast ratios still have to work for every user. Test your themes against WCAG contrast minimums before rolling them out.
- **Don't restyle for the sake of it.** If a flow is rarely seen or purely internal, the default styling is fine. Spend styling effort where perception drives adoption.
- **Watch performance.** Heavy styling on complex multi-screen flows is still no substitute for trimming unnecessary screens. A fast ugly flow beats a slow pretty one — do both if you can.

## The bottom line

Spring '26 treats the *look* of screen flows as a builder concern, not a developer one. Custom themes, section-level control, and reusable presets mean admins can ship flows that feel designed instead of defaulted. Restyle the flows that matter, keep accessibility non-negotiable, and your users will finish what your flows start.
