🎨Themes

The theme specifies the color of the components, darkness of the surfaces, level of shadow, appropriate opacity of ink elements, etc.

Themes let you apply a consistent tone to your app. It allows you to customize all design aspects of your project in order to meet the specific needs of your business or brand.

To promote greater consistency between apps, each theme has light and dark variants By default, components use the light theme type.

Theme provider

If you wish to customize the theme, you need to use the ThemeProvider component in order to inject a theme into your application. However, this is optional; BlueBase components come with a default theme.

ThemeProvider relies on the context feature of React to pass the theme down to the components, so you need to make sure that ThemeProvider is a parent of the components you are trying to customize. You can learn more about this in the API section.

Custom Themes

import { BlueBaseApp, Theme } from '@bluebase/core';
import React from 'react';

const GreenTheme = new Theme({
	key: 'green-theme',
	name: 'Green Theme',
	light: {
		palette: {
			primary: {
				main: '#00a013',
