Big news from our corner of the world: Strats360 Technolab just launched BlueNova, our own Odoo backend theme, and it’s officially live on the Odoo Apps Store. Honestly, it feels good to finally say that out loud. This wasn’t a weekend project — it took months of back-and-forth design decisions, testing, and a fair bit of “let’s try that differently” before we landed on something we were genuinely proud of.

If you use Odoo every day and have ever looked at your backend and thought, “this just feels generic,” you’re not alone. That’s the exact frustration BlueNova was built to fix.

The Problem We Kept Running Into

Odoo does a lot right, but its default backend interface looks pretty much the same no matter who’s using it — a logistics company, a design agency, a law firm, doesn’t matter. Same layout, same visual language. We noticed this again and again while working with clients who cared a lot about how their customer-facing brand looked, but were stuck staring at a bland, one-size-fits-all dashboard internally.

So we asked ourselves: why should the tools your team uses every single day feel like an afterthought? That question is basically where BlueNova started.

So What Does BlueNova Actually Do?

The short version: one theme, two modes, and a lot more control than you’re used to having.

A few things worth pointing out:

It’s clean and modern — we rebuilt the visual layer from the ground up so it doesn’t feel like the cluttered, dated interface a lot of backend systems still have.

It comes with both light and dark mode, because not everyone wants to stare at a bright white screen for eight hours, and not everyone likes working in the dark either. You get to choose.

It’s built to be customized. Every business runs a little differently, and we didn’t want to force teams into a rigid template that doesn’t match how they actually work or brand themselves.

It’s also just… faster to use. Less visual noise, cleaner navigation, and small layout tweaks that add up when you’re doing repetitive tasks like data entry or pulling reports all day.

And compatibility-wise, BlueNova works with Odoo v19, v18, v17, and v16 right now, with more versions on the way.

About the Price

We priced BlueNova at $65.19 for launch, which is noticeably less than what a lot of comparable premium Odoo themes charge — while still giving you the full feature set, not a stripped-down version. It’s a limited-time launch price, so if you’ve been putting off giving your Odoo backend a facelift, this is a decent moment to do it.

Want Something Fully Custom Instead?

Some businesses want more than a theme off the shelf — they want their dashboard to actually look like their brand. Logo placement, specific colors, layout tweaks that match an existing style guide, that kind of thing.

That’s a service we offer separately: custom Odoo theme and dashboard branding, built around your business identity specifically. Think of BlueNova as the foundation — for teams that want to go further, we’ll build it out with you.

A Quick Thank You

Shipping something to the Odoo Apps Store isn’t a one-person job. It took design work, development, a lot of testing, and probably more revisions than anyone wants to admit. So this is really a thank-you to the whole team here at Strats360 Technolab for pushing BlueNova from a rough idea to something real.

Nice work, everyone.

Give It a Try

If your Odoo backend could use a refresh — something that actually looks intentional and works a little smoother day-to-day — BlueNova is ready whenever you are. Light or dark, customized to fit your workflow, and priced to make trying it an easy call right now.

What exactly is BlueNova?

It’s an Odoo backend theme we built at Strats360 Technolab. Basically, it gives your Odoo dashboard a cleaner, more modern look, with light and dark mode built in, and you can customize it to fit your business.

What Odoo versions does it work with?

Right now, it works with v19, v18, v17, and v16. We’re planning to add support for more versions down the line.

What’s the price?

We’re launching it at $65.19, which is quite a bit cheaper than most premium Odoo themes out there offering similar features.

Is that price going to stay the same?

Not likely — $65.19 is a limited-time launch price. Once that window closes, the price will probably go up, so it’s worth grabbing it now if you’re interested.

Can I switch between light and dark mode whenever I want?

Yep, that’s built right in. Switch back and forth depending on what you’re in the mood for or whatever lighting you’re working in.

How customizable is it, really?

Pretty customizable — that was one of our main goals with this theme. It’s meant to flex around how your team actually works, not force you into one fixed layout.

Where do I actually buy it?

It’s live on the Odoo Apps Store. Here’s the link: https://apps.odoo.com/apps/themes/19.0/bluenova_backend_theme

Can I get my own logo and brand colors added in?

The standard version comes with its own look, but if you want something fully branded — your logo, your colors, your style — we offer that as a separate custom branding service.
