Dojo,

I have designed a Low Code App (LCA) with custom themes on my local DMA. With an application package I intend to be able to ship this app to any other DMS but I noticed my custom themes are not carried along as part of the LCA.

  1. How can I have my custom themes as part of the application package so that its installed seamlessly on any other DMS ?
  2. If above is not possible any advise on how I should design my app with this limitation in mind ?

Hi Wale,

Custom dashboard themes are stored in a separate file (C:\Skyline DataMiner\dashboards\Themes.json) that you could include in the package. Be aware that overwriting this file will remove all existing custom themes.

This is very insightful. Thanks.

Is there a way we could inject a theme in the existing config, without removing the existing configurations (or something on the roadmap)? Currently deploying a package with a theme, removes the themes from a previously deployed package.

You should be able to modify the install script of the package to inject a new custom theme in the existing file instead of including the entire theme file
