Where is the best documentation for UI Themes? In particular ALL available settings (controls, properties, etc) that can be coded within the Theme.json file.

Can the font-face be specified in the Theme.JSON file? I see the font color can be specified.

See Tracy's link:

https://docs.appeon.com/pb2019r3/pbug/ch02s01.html#Understanding_what_can_and_cannot_be_set_by_the_theme

Under "What cannot be set by the theme" it says "Font related properties (except font color)"

Hi Jeff,

Using the "datawindow" - "dwo-compute" example you mentioned, you can search for "dwo-compute" in themes.json file and find the supported sub-settings (with default values) for "dwo-compute" as below.

"dwo-compute":
{
"drawing":true,
"border":0,
"border-color":"#CCCCCC",
"background-color":"#FFFFFF",
"text-font":{"color":"#000000"}
},


Only supported settings are listed.

The supported settings are named literally so it can be understood easily, but with a few exceptions such as "drawing", "border". Therefore, it is recommended that you read the following sections first to understand the theme.json file:

https://docs.appeon.com/pb2019r3/pbug/ch02s01.html#Understanding_the_theme_json_file, and https://docs.appeon.com/pb2019r3/pbug/ch02s01.html#Understanding_what_can_and_cannot_be_set_by_the_theme

If you have any questions about a specific setting in the theme.json file, please let me know, I will try to help clarify and improve the documentation.

Regards
Tracy

Based on Tracy’s response she is saying all are listed.

Ok, Thanks. I have some further questions, but they might be better in a new topic.

Thanks, that helps some. But I still cannot find anywhere that outlines all available theme settings (ie: controls, properties, etc). For example, from looking a the samples I know that there is a setting for "datawindow" - "dwo-compute". But I cannot find any documentation on it which would indicate any sub-settings. It would be nice to have a 'dummy' file that at least indicates all possible/available settings.
