Problems with implementing dark themes.

Hey,

I'm quite new to Blazor and HTML and am probably just doing something wrong, if one of you could help me with that it would be great.

I tried to implement a dark theme in my completely new Blazor WASM app, that was created in VS2022 with the Synfusion extension.

When I reference a dark theme like fabrik-dark.css or bootstrap5-dark.css in my index.html like this

<link rel='nofollow' href="_content/Syncfusion.Blazor/styles/fabric-dark.css" rel="stylesheet" />

it only changes the appearance of the Synfusion components. Normal text, the background color and so on stay the same.


I tried to implement the theme switcher as described here, but that didn't work and as far as I see it it just switches around the implemented .css.

Downloading a theme from the Theme Builder and referencing it the same way doesn't work either.

Hi Joschka, 
  
Greetings from Syncfusion. 
  
We have prepared a sample in which when any dark theme is selected then the background of the browser along with Syncfusion components will be changed into dark. Please find the sample and image references, code snippets for the same below 
  
  
Code Snippets: 
  
MainLayout.razor: 
  
public void OnThemeChange(Syncfusion.Blazor.DropDowns.ChangeEventArgs<string, ThemeDetails> args) 
        if (args.ItemData.ID.Contains("dark") || args.ItemData.ID.Contains("highcontrast")) 
        { 
            JS.InvokeAsync<object>("setTheme", args.ItemData.ID, true); 
        } 
        else 
        { 
            JS.InvokeAsync<object>("setTheme", args.ItemData.ID, false); 
        } 
  
  
index.html: 
  
<head> 
    . . . 
    <link id="apptheme" rel='nofollow' href="css/app.css" rel="stylesheet" /> 
  
    <link id="theme" rel="stylesheet" rel='nofollow' href="_content/Syncfusion.Blazor.Themes/bootstrap.css" /> 
  
</head> 
  
<script> 
  
        function setTheme(theme, isThemeDark) {  
            document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0].style.display = 'none'; 
            let applink = document.getElementById('apptheme'); 
            let synclink = document.getElementById('theme'); 
            synclink.rel='nofollow' href = '_content/Syncfusion.Blazor.Themes/' + theme + '.css'; 
            applink.rel='nofollow' href = isThemeDark ? 'css/app-dark.css' : 'css/app.css'; 
            setTimeout(function () { document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0].style.display = 'block'; }, 200); 
        } 
  
    </script> 
  
  
  
Light Theme: 
  
 
  
Dark Theme:

The example doesn't work with version 20 of your packages

Hi Joshna


Please find attached a sample of my application. I don't know what's wrong with the theme change not working.

You can help?

Hi Bogdan,


Sorry for the delay.


We suspect that due to installing of the bootstrap NuGet, and adding the external CSS files in the application, the theme was not applied properly. If you want to change the themes along with controls you can change by adding dark theme CSS for the application. However, we have modified the sample which you can download the sample from the below link


Sample: https://www.syncfusion.com/downloads/support/directtrac/general/ze/OrganizerPRO2-909026598


Removed the commented line, added “site-dark.css” file in the application to change the background theme along with controls in the application.




Kindly try with the above information and get back to us if you have any queries.


Regards,

Joshna L
