    • If your app uses a OutSystems UI Theme as a Base Theme, you can use Theme Editor to customize the overall style of your app and preview your customized app without leaving Service Studio.

    To open Theme Editor, open a Screen and click the Theme Editor... icon in the workspace toolbar.

    Open Theme Editor

    Customize default colors of Screens and UI elements

    Select one of the 18 default color palettes or use a custom palette based on the main colors from an image, like the logo of your company.

    Once you select a color palette, Theme Editor sets a Primary color, a Header color, and a Background color. You can change each of these default colors by choosing one of the other three suggested colors or by defining a custom color.

    Theme colors

    Get palette from an image
    Create a custom color palette based on the main colors of an image (.png, .jpeg). Select the logo of your company to create a color palette that reflects your brand.
    Color palette
    Choose one of the 18 default color palettes. Each one of the default palettes provides a handpicked color scheme that is the basis of the style of your app.
    Primary
    Change the color of Widgets and OutSystems UI Patterns. This is the dominant color across the screens of your app.
    Background
    Change the background color of Screens, with the exception of the default Login and Splash screens. Choosing a dark background color changes the font color to white, making sure text is readable.
