Hi!,

I have implemented themed UI functionality in a development version of our application which I am migrating to PowerBuilder 2022. For testing, I have deployed a copy of one of the default themes as the application's default which is loaded at startup from an ini file.  This works very well.

What I could really use right now is a UI theme management utility that would read the current theme.json file and, along with a color picker present a treeview of the related theme color elements allowing for the quick selection, application, and testing of theme variations. 

Has anyone else encountered and handled this situation? Are there third-party tools available for the management of native PowerBuilder UI theme customization? Am I missing something obvious here?

Thank you!

Hi, UI Themes doesn’t provide this out of the box so you would need to implement yourself.  I am not aware of any third party products that does this for the UI Themes.

Hi Rory,

a simple solution would be to use VSCode with a suitable colorpicker extension to edit the theme.json.

On the fly I found this: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=naumovs.color-highlight  there are probably better extensions, this one just visualizes the color in json files without colorpicker.

VSCode's code colapsing helps navigate the JSON quite well:

Regards Tobi
