Theme Samples

[Boydens Jonathan]

Hello,

The documentation on Theme Support isn't very clear on switching between themes in an app.

Is there any way I can see how it works like in the Android app (Xamarin UI Controls)

Thanks,

Jonathan

Hi Jonathan, 

  

Thanks for using the Syncfusion products, 

  

We have already planned to include these information in our documentation.  

We have prepared the sample for your requirement and you can find the sample below. 

  

Sample Link: http://www.syncfusion.com/downloads/support/directtrac/general/ze/SwitchTheme-1972519065  

  

Code snippet for switching the theme: 

var mergedDictionaries = resources.MergedDictionaries; 

var lightTheme = mergedDictionaries.OfType<LightTheme>().FirstOrDefault(); 

if (lightTheme != null) 

    { 

       mergedDictionaries.Remove(lightTheme); 

    } 

  

mergedDictionaries.Add(new DarkTheme());
