Hi.
I would like to have themes like in Bootstrap( for example) where when I create entity, button is green, when edit – blue\purple, delete – red and so on. I mostly concerned about button colors but change shades of other controls can also be of any use.
Where I can read more about this?
Thanks in advance.

Hi.
Ok, let me clarify – you have theme controller and I would like based on type of operation (create,edit,delete) specify appropreate color for buttons. I have same controls for some entity but based on operation I want to specify colors of these controls (button for example – gree, blue, red like in Bootstrap).

Hi,
As per our understanding, you need to create different themes for different controls and assign them according to the control’s type of operation. You can easily do so by creating different custom themes using the C1ThemeDesigner App and applying these custom themes in your application using the C1ThemeController control. Kindly refer to the attached sample showing the same.
You can find the C1ThemeDesigner app in your system at the location C:\Program Files (x86)\ComponentOne\Apps\v4.5.2. You can refer to the link below for any information regarding the use of C1ThemeController and the C1ThemeDesigner app.

Please let us know if you meant something else or if you need any other information.

Thank you very much for reply. Probably it is some trivial issue, but your sample throws on line
this.c1ThemeController1.SetTheme(this.c1Button1, “CreateTheme”);

Hi,
The sample we provided has the latest 21v3 release version of the C1Themes, if you are using an older version of C1 controls then it might throw an exception as there are changes in the newer versions of C1Themes. Could you please provide the version of the C1 controls you are using so that we can assist you further? Also, we have attached a sample using an older version of the C1Themes for your reference.
Please let us know if you still face any issues or if you need any other information.
Regards
