Using a Theme for Laravel Spark - any experiences or recommendations?

Hi, we'd like to upgrade/ change the look and feel exspecially of the spark user profile.

Can anyone recommend a theme that plays nicely with spark and keeps updateability?

Has anyone tried 'clear' and could share experiences with it: https://themeforest.net/item/clear-bootstrap-vuejs-admin-template/19339739

I purchased both clear and core spark themes from themeforest. Originally, I used them as a guide while learning laravel. I would not do the same, again. Looks very clunky....

I always have had issues with the supposed license with ThemeForest, the way I read it is if you charge for access (sell) to your SaaS then they want the Extended License.....

However Re-templating Spark has always been a headache for me. The Bootstrap that comes with Spark has enough tweaks from the generic that I've spent a while chasing my tail tweaking css etc.

The only one I had a glimmer of success on so far as the open source one, adminLTE2. (https://adminlte.io/themes/AdminLTE/index2.html).

Regards the License from Themeforest, I did check back with them on exactly that point, and they told me the Regular License is sufficient for that saas case.

@EventFellows -- any success on this? I'm in the same boat right now; looking for a more comprehensive theme for my admin dashboard I'm building and don't want to build from scratch on-top of the Spark structure.

My biggest concern is finding something that plays nicely with Spark's Vue components. Definitely don't want to have to re-write everything. Thinking a simple HTML5/Bootstrap theme will be the answer.

Not much progress on my side on this. I have started to play around with vuetifyjs (which is not a theme but comes with many nice components).

Anyone else having recommendations regarding theme?

I have started using https://vuetifyjs.com/ which is great but rahter a vue based framework with tons of great components but not a theme for spark.

Anyone have any updates on this? This thread is 2 years old but still relevant for me.

I like vuexy but that is more of a standalone template with laravel included. Probably too much work to try integrate that with spark.
