Launched: Themes in Canvas Dashboard 🎨

Product Releases

Introduction

We’re excited to introduce Page Themes - a new capability that allows greater control over the styling of your dashboards. With Page Themes, you have the flexibility to customize a wide array of elements, including but not limited to:

  • Typography: change the font family, font size and color of text and data labels
  • Colors: customize color palettes for visualizations and other chart elements
  • Canvas & block styling: add borders, margins, shadows or even use custom image as background

Page Themes unlocks endless possibilities to create stunning dashboards, incorporating your corporate themes, stylized embedded dashboards, or even dark mode.

How it works

Page Themes offers a range of supported properties for customization. Themes can be easily defined using AML. When applied within a Canvas Dashboard, Page Themes take precedence, overriding the default styles of the dashboard.

Release Timeline

This feature is currently under development and is expected to be released by Q3 2024.

:point_down: We’d love to hear about your specific use cases that could benefit from Page Themes.

Launched: Themes in Canvas Dashboard :art:

We’re excited to announce that Themes is now available in Canvas Dashboard.

Think of Themes as an additional layer of styling and customization on top of your Canvas Dashboard. Themes allow you to customize a wide range of elements, including:

  • Typography: Modify the font family, font size of text and data labels
  • Colors: Customize color of dashboard backgrounds, borders, and other elements
  • Canvas & block styling: Add paddings, shadows, or even use custom images as backgrounds

How it works

In the dashboard code definition, themes are specified using the theme parameter at different levels to provide more granular customization.

  • Page Theme: Properties that apply to the entire canvas dashboard page
  • Block Theme: Properties that apply to individual blocks, overriding the Page Theme settings

How to Quickly Style Up Your Dashboard?

Did you know you can quickly style your dashboards with Built-in Themes? In the Themes menu, you can choose from a number of Built-in Themes.

Alternatively, you can create and apply your own Custom Themes, simply by following these steps:

  • Step 1: Declare a reusable variable for the PageTheme using AML Constant
  • Step 2: Apply the Custom Theme from the Themes menu; or call the variable at the dashboard’s theme parameter.

For examples, syntax references, and more information about themes, check out our documentation at Themes in Canvas Dashboard | Holistics Docs (4.0)
