An Overview of Modern Themes in Model-Driven Power Apps

Kylie Kiser July 8, 2025 Video

In part one of a new series on modern themes in model-driven apps, UG Expert Kylie Kiser discusses the transition to modern themes in model-driven Power Apps.

Key Takeaways

  • Customizing the interface: In model-driven Power Apps, including those in D365 CRM, the default blue theme is visible, but there’s no direct way to customize the appearance in the modern interface. However, users can still access and modify themes through the legacy “Advanced Settings” under the “Customization” section, where activating a different theme updates the look in the old interface.
  • Logos: While modern themes are now required for customization, they currently don’t support adding logos. This still needs to be done using the legacy theme system.
  • New themes: The new modern themes in Power Apps are currently in preview and should be used only in development environments until they become generally available. Despite being in preview, they are the only way to customize the app’s appearance now and offer new customization features that weren’t possible before.
  • Applying themes: To apply the new modern themes in Power Apps, you’ll need to create custom XML web resources that define properties like base color palettes and fonts. These XML files allow selective overrides, giving you control over the app’s appearance.
