Designer themes define the look and feel of a designer. This includes any background styles, foreground styles, fonts, and icons defined for the designer.
You can create a custom designer theme if you want to provide configuration abilities to properties unique to your designer. If you do not specify a designer theme for a custom designer, the theme from the base class is used.
The following example shows how to create a custom ActivityDesignerTheme by deriving from the ActivityDesignerTheme class and setting the appropriate properties for the new theme.
Public Class CustomActivityDesignerTheme
Inherits ActivityDesignerTheme
Public Sub New(ByVal theme As WorkflowTheme)
MyBase.new(theme)
MyBase.Initialize()
Me.BorderStyle = DashStyle.Solid
Me.BorderColor = Color.FromArgb(0, 0, 0)
Me.BackColorStart = Color.FromArgb(37, 15, 242)
Me.BackColorEnd = Color.FromArgb(189, 184, 254)
Me.BackgroundStyle = LinearGradientMode.Vertical
Me.ForeColor = Color.Black
End Sub
End Class
public class CustomActivityDesignerTheme : ActivityDesignerTheme
{
public CustomActivityDesignerTheme(WorkflowTheme theme)
: base(theme)
{
base.Initialize();
this.BorderStyle = DashStyle.Solid;
this.BorderColor = Color.FromArgb(0, 0, 0);
this.BackColorStart = Color.FromArgb(37, 15, 242);
this.BackColorEnd = Color.FromArgb(189, 184, 254);
this.BackgroundStyle = LinearGradientMode.Vertical;
this.ForeColor = Color.Black;
}
}
To use the theme on an ActivityDesigner, apply the ActivityDesignerThemeAttribute to the ActivityDesigner class.
