Note: This is an early feature launch announcement, meaning the feature is still in development. We make this announcement early to gather feedback and make sure what we build actually helps solve our users’ use cases.
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.
Defining Themes in AML
You have the flexibility to define reusable themes in AML or implement local themes directly within dashboard elements using the theme property. Local themes take precedence over Page Themes, enabling granular control over styling.
