With every release of PowerApps and PowerApps portals, Microsoft is making the life of customizers easy. And when I saw this feature this was my reaction – “WOW“
Very simple yet so beneficial and time saving. Traditionally customers always had a ask to change the theme of portals. What would we do in those scenarios?
We would open the bootstrap.min.css file and theme.css file and change it accordingly.
But what is the problem with that? The problem is if you want to change the OOB theme to say dark yellow, dark or orange theme, we would need to require a lot of changes. Also the fact that we have to do lot of testing on how it looks make it more time consuming.
But now you can do all of this in just one click. As of the time of writing this blog, the feature is in preview. So to access the preview feature, use the URL – https://make.preview.powerapps.com, select your Portal app and then click on edit option to open the portal in Portal editor.
Once you open the portal editor, in the themes option, you now have an option to Enable basic themes.
Once you enable basic theme, under Presets section you get some standard popular bootstrap themes. You can just click the theme of you choice and immediately view how your portal looks by browsing the portal.
I have selected Red theme here and when I browse the portal i can see the affect immediately.
Isn’t it awesome. In-fact so cool. There is so cool
Where does portal store the theme information that we just selected? I have put my findings in this blog.
Even if you can create a new theme and change the color combinations as per your contrast and liking (on the right pane of the editor)
I loved it and hope you will like it too! For cool stuffs like this, please follow my blog by clicking on the follow button.
