Power Apps Tutorial: Crafting Your Own Modern Theme

#powerapps #ui

Learn how to craft your own modern theme in this Power Apps tutorial. We recently gained the functionality to add on to the out-of-the-box themes with our own custom themes in canvas apps. Check out this video to see what these new modern themes they look like, learn what the "gotcha's" see how to setup and configure them in a variety of scenarios.

The color you select when creating the theme is not the primary color. It's very frustrating when you want the controls to be of specific color.

What about Model Driven Apps? With the modern look

What kinda ruins this for me is lack of dark ui options, I've an app with dark theme exclusively, and I cannot use modern controls in it because I can't find a way to make the modern controls dark ui compatible.

Thanks April 👍🏼 Would be good if the PowerApp features took this a further step to accommodate a full branding colour palette, not just varying shades of one colour. Keep up the good content. Great work.

It's a nice start, but for me feels like a swing and a miss on nailing down what I've wanting for theming all these years. I'd love to see more of an approach to creating more of a brand profile, like many of the custom ways we do it now. It feels close, hopefully its on its way.

I have created a theme using solid red as the color RGB(255, 0, 0). But when I add a modern button control to the screen it appears as a different shade of red RGB(199, 0, 0) than I defined in the theme. How can I get the button color to match what I've based my theme upon?

I dont have the theme option available in my side pane to add one. Any help on where to find it?

Thanks for sharing as always. A good start but we want to be able to add, at the very least a secondary colour so we can dynamically apply both or even create a gradient etc. Hopefully, that is on the way. 😆

Our company has a gradient theme which makes theming anything interesting.

Where is the hotdog theme from Windows 95?
