# Using Built-in Templates

Curtain comes with two carefully designed templates that are ready to use out of the box. Let's explore how to use and customize them effectively.

### Default Template

The default template offers a clean, minimalist design that's perfect for most maintenance scenarios. It emphasizes readability and clear communication:

```bash
php artisan curtain:up --template=default
```

When you use the default template, you'll get:

* A black background with subtle dot patterns for depth
* Large, readable countdown display
* Clear status messages
* Responsive design that works on all devices
* Optional auto-refresh functionality

### Modern Template

The modern template provides a more sophisticated design with enhanced visual elements:

```bash
php artisan curtain:up --template=modern
```

The modern template includes:

* Gradient mesh backgrounds
* Glassmorphism effects
* Animated status indicators
* Enhanced typography with Space Grotesk font
* Advanced visual transitions
