PowerApps - Button colour for Modern Button control

Posted on 3 Dec 2024 22:10:54 by 16
I am trying to set the color of a modern button control in PowerApps to a single color - not a palette, is there a way to do this? I don't like the automatic color that is chosen, I prefer to choose one solid color. I have read a number of resources, but it seems all I can do is change a palette and not select the actual color I want for the button.
 
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
 
Thank you,

    If you enabled modern themes (and I think you did, because otherwise you shouldn't be able to use modern buttons) you can find them on the left bar
    • Click on three dots
    • Click on Themes
     
     
    To check if modern themes are enabled you can go to the Settings -> Updates -> New -> Modern controls and themes
     
     
    Let me know if this works!

    Thank you, I have tried to add a new theme, but the option is not available. Advanced Settings is not appearing under Settings - any pointers on how to do this?
     
    Settings -> Advanced Settings -> Customisations - >Themes
     
    Thanks

    Hi! You cannot choose a single color, but you can select a custom palette. Unfortunately, It does not always fill the button with the selected color. The only workaround I have found is to use a theme and lock the primary color. If you want all your buttons to be the same color you can try doing the following:
    • Go to Themes and click on "Add a theme"
    • Choose or enter the desired color
    • Enable "Lock primary color" toggle (important!)
     
    I tried to fill two buttons with the same color (fccfff), but using different approaches. The left one uses the custom theme I've created, the right one uses custom palette. 
    Let me know if this helps!
