Modern Controls Themes

Posted on by michalparal222

Hi PowerApps community,

I have a question about Themes and its colors. I have created a custom theme:

and I am trying to use it in a app, but it doesn't work as I would like too.

As you can see on the second image, The button in the middle of the screen is "modern" with applied custom theme, but the color in way different, then the one I defined in the theme. I understand it generates some palette of colors. So I added a classic button and check which one in the palette is the one I specified and it is App.Theme.Colors.Darker60. But I cannot set this color to the "modern" button. So I will probably have to use the classic button (and other controls).
I need the exact color not some palette, which is different from our company branding.

So my question is: How to stick with modern controls, use themes, but get the exact color I need?

In my head there is an idea, that I will find out a color definition for theme, which will be different from the color I need, but the palette will generate the primary one as the one I need, but it is really not the way I think this should work.

Thanks Michal

Hey @michalparal222 ,

That it's not working the way you want and expect it is normal since this function is only in preview. here is the Link to the Documentation: Modern theming - Power Apps | Microsoft Learn

You can always test it but i wouldn't use it in Production apps for now. You can also give your feedback to Microsoft with the thumbs up or down. If enough people do it, Microsoft will adapt it so that it works the way you would expect it.

Thank you @DBO_DV for your reply, I know it is not in GA yet, but still I was wondering if there is a way how to use it with the way I expected that it should work. For example the modern button is no longer in preview, yet I cannot set the color I would like to.

Sadly it's not possible as of now. That's why most people still use Classic controls.
