Themes and Widgets

1 minute to read

Themes provide a set of rules that control how your application looks on each AppPage. Every theme defines a style (the colors, fonts, sizes, of every element on the AppPage).

The elements that you can add to the four standard sections of a segment are called widgets. They are small, independent UI items that provide specific functionality to reuse across all the AppPages that use the theme.

The following image shows a sample canvas with several widgets:

The following widgets are available:

Menu – a list of links to the AppPages in the application or to custom URLs
Profile Menu – a control (icon or text) with the current user authentication status and options for signing in and out
Image – a custom static image (logo or illustration)
Text/HTML – free text or HTML/CSS code that defines custom application elements
Title – six heading types with simple text content, such as a header or title, company name, or application name

Widgets support app parameters, system parameters, query string parameters, and authenticated user field parameters. See Parameters.
