Dark Theme for SfChat

[Brad Dean]

How do I implement Dark Theme for SfChat? The keys aren't listed in the documentation here:

https://help.syncfusion.com/xamarin/themes/keys

And I'm not quite following the documentation here:

https://help.syncfusion.com/xamarin/themes/themes#overriding-the-default-theme

The xmlns is declared as syncTheme but then used as syncCore - I'm assuming that's just a typo? But when I try to use the SyncfusionThemeDictionary I get a complaint that I must declare a key, which none of the samples do.

I already have two ResourcesDictionaries - DarkTheme and LightTheme, for the rest of my application. These are successfully being merged. I'm hoping this is as simple as inserting the Syncfusion values into these two dictionaries.

Hi Brad, 

 

Thank you for contacting Syncfusion support. 

 

Please find the query response below. 

 

1. Regarding Dark and Light theme support in SfChat:

Currently SfChat doesn’t have support for styling and themes. However we have considered it as an feature implementation and we are glad to let you know that the implementation has been completed. It will be available from our 2020 Volume 1 beta release which is scheduled to be rolled out by the mid of this month.

We will update the document on or before 2020 Volume 1 Main release which is expected to be rolled out at the end of March.  

 

Please let us know if you have further queries on this.
