Solution for Customizing the Modern Theme in Model-Driven Apps

Have you noticed the new button labeled 'Try the new look' in Model Driven Apps? Microsoft has taken a step forward by updating the design of our applications to Microsoft Fluent 2, featuring a modern and cohesive design following the latest design guidelines. This ensures a consistent user experience across all applications and devices. If you have applied the new theme, you will see the design change to either the standard purple of Power Apps or the blue of Dynamics.


Wondering how to update the theme? According to Microsoft documentation, you'll need to generate an XML web resource and manually change a system configuration. You can find more information about this process in Use modern themes - Power Apps | Microsoft Learn


But we have an even easier and more user-friendly solution for you! Introducing the Modern Theme Creator, a tool designed to simplify the theme update process.



With this form and customizations using PCFs (Power Apps Custom Components), you can easily create a visual theme without any hassle.


To get started, simply select your preferred colors from our custom themes table. Upon saving this information, the Modern Theme Creator will automatically generate a solution to store your web resources, named pwuser_theme_solution.




Once you have selected your theme and desired colors, you will find a publish button. Clicking on this button will automatically change the system configuration, adding your new theme and unpublishing any other theme that was in use.


The pwuser_theme_solution solution will store the configuration and web resources you have generated.
