Modern Themes in Model-Driven Apps: App Header Colors
UG Expert Kylie Kiser continues reviewing modern themes in model-driven apps, starting with a base theme to demonstrate using app header colors.
Key Takeaways:
- Initial steps: Rather than letting the base color palette set everything, Kylie selects a separate background color and, in this case, only works on the app colors so it won’t affect the full theme. She adds a new web resource, choosing the file to work on for the app header colors and copying the name to access it later.
- Header override: Accessing the settings, Kylie emphasizes that instead of doing a whole custom theme, she’s choosing the header override. Once the override app header color setting is added, users can then edit it and set a new environment value, which can be replaced with the value of the web resource. After saving and publishing this setting, return to the app and do a refresh.
- App colors: By only doing the app colors, users are able to manually select the colors of various elements. The home and certain underlined items also did not update when making changes with app colors. It’s just setting the app header colors and a variety of details.
