Overview

io.Connect Browser has two built-in themes - "Day" and "Night". You can control the themes programmatically by using the Themes API.

The Themes API is accessible via the io.themes object.

Configuration

Use the themes property of the configuration object when initializing the @interopio/browser-platform library in the Main app to specify custom settings for the Themes library:

import IOBrowserPlatform from "@interopio/browser-platform";

const config = {
    licenseKey: "my-license-key",
    themes: {
        defaultTheme: "os"
    }
};

const { io } = await IOBrowserPlatform(config);

Configuring the Themes library is optional. The configuration object for the themes property has the following properties:

Property Type Description
defaultTheme "os" | "light" | "dark" Specifies the default theme for io.Connect Browser. Set to "os" to use the default theme as set in the OS.

Listing All Themes

To get a list of all available themes, use the list() method:

const allThemes = await io.themes.list();

Current Theme

To get the currently selected theme, use the getCurrent() method:

const currentTheme = await io.themes.getCurrent();

Selecting Themes

To select a theme, use the select() method:

const themeName = "dark";

await io.themes.select(themeName);

Theme Events

To get notified when the theme changes, use the onChanged() method:

const handler = newTheme => console.log(newTheme.name);

io.themes.onChanged(handler);
