UI to change color scheme

Open Sternbach-Software opened this issue 4 years ago • 3 comments

I really wish there was a UI in app where I could change the color scheme for the material components catalog and see how it looks on all of the material components. I am trying to show my boss the different color schemes I came up with (I already have the hex values) and want to show him what the app might look like, based on the individual components. I was seriously considering making my own app because none of the tens of apps I looked through had this.

I am agree with @shmueldabomb441. It should be there and it will be a great enhancement to the app. It will also help to others who want to give custom theme option within the app apart from light, dark theme option.

The challenge is that the entire app is built based on predefined colors in the styles.xml, so it would be a very big rework of complicated code.

Yes I can understand that but if someone get some free time add that then it would be a great enhancement. Is there any runtime way to generate theme and all colors dynamically if we give primary brand color like what we are doing in material theme builder ? Then it would be easy I think to select one primary color and based on that all other colors will be generated. Again I am little confused with the material3 theme branding like user defined color scheme and dynamic theme, so in material3 didn't they make any provision to make it easy ? Or does that only mean - defining color schemes based on primary brand color ?
