The built-in theme has ~22 required token fields (`fontFamily`, `colorLink`, `brandLogoHref`, etc.). Your override only provides 5 of them, so the rest become `undefined`. The frontend then crashes when calling `.startsWith()` on a missing field like `fontFamily`, producing the white screen [[2]](https://github.com/apache/superset/pull/41347). Adding `brandLogoMargin` likely just happened to be the change that tipped the theme into hitting a code path where a missing field was accessed — but the underlying bug exists any time you provide a partial `THEME_DEFAULT`. This exact problem has been reported by other users on Superset 6.1.0 [[3]](https://github.com/apache/superset/discussions/41444#discussioncomment-17442075). A fix ([PR #41347](https://github.com/apache/superset/pull/41347)) deep-merges partial theme overrides against the built-in defaults so omitted fields fall back safely. There are also follow-up fixes for `ensureAppRoot()` crashing on missing `brandLogoHref` [[4]](https://github.com/apache/superset/pull/39940) and `ensureStaticPrefix()` crashing on missing `brandLogoUrl` [[5]](https://github.com/apache/superset/pull/43019). **What to do:** 1. **Check your browser console** (F12 → Console) when the white screen occurs. You'll likely see `TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'startsWith')`, which confirms this bug. 2. **Immediate workaround** — your current config *without* `brandLogoMargin` works by luck (the specific fields you set happen to cover the code paths hit at render time). To stay safe, either: - Keep only the tokens that work and avoid adding new ones, **or** - Upgrade/rebuild your Superset image to include the deep-merge fix from PR #41347. If you're pulling `apache/superset:6.1.0`, check the image digest/build date — if it was built before the fix was merged, you'll need a newer image. 3. **Alternative workaround** — if upgrading isn't an option, you can explicitly provide *all* the built-in theme tokens alongside your custom ones, so nothing ends up `undefined`. You can find the full set of default tokens in the `THEME_DEFAULT` definition in `superset/config.py` of a post-fix build. The rest of your config (custom security manager, bootstrap overrides, Jinja context, etc.) looks fine and shouldn't cause a white screen on its own. <!-- Dosu Comment Footer --> *To reply, just mention [@dosu](<https://go.dosu.dev/dosubot?utm_source=github&utm_medium=bot-comment&utm_campaign=github-comment-footer-20260415&utm_content=reply-with-mention&utm_term=apache%2Fsuperset>).* --- Share context across your team and agents.
