Unlock the Power of Theming in Flutter

Default Themes and Beyond

Flutter’s MaterialApp comes with a default light blue theme, but you can take your app to the next level by exploring various theming options. From simple text and icon styling to complex switching between light and dark theme modes, the possibilities are endless.

Styling Widgets and Containers

To add some flair to your app, you can style widgets and containers using Flutter’s TextStyle class and BoxDecoration class. By adjusting properties like color, size, structure, and weight, you can create a visually appealing design that resonates with your users.

TextStyle(
  fontSize: 24,
  fontWeight: FontWeight.bold,
  color: Colors.blue,
)

BoxDecoration(
  color: Colors.red,
  borderRadius: BorderRadius.circular(10),
  boxShadow: [
    BoxShadow(
      color: Colors.grey.withOpacity(0.5),
      spreadRadius: 5,
      blurRadius: 7,
      offset: Offset(0, 3),
    ),
  ],
)

Using the Material ThemeData Class

Want to share a specific theme across your entire app? The ThemeData class is your answer. With its numerous properties, you can customize the overall brightness, color scheme, font family, and more to create a cohesive and stunning design.

MaterialApp(
  title: 'My App',
  theme: ThemeData(
    brightness: Brightness.light,
    primaryColor: Colors.blue,
    accentColor: Colors.red,
    fontFamily: 'OpenSans',
  ),
)

Light and Dark Theme Modes

Dark theme modes are gaining popularity, and for good reason. They conserve battery life, reduce eye strain, and offer a unique aesthetic. Using the adaptive_theme package and Riverpod, you can implement light and dark theme modes in your Flutter app with ease.

import 'package:adaptive_theme/adaptive_theme.dart';

class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return AdaptiveTheme(
      light: ThemeData(
        brightness: Brightness.light,
        primaryColor: Colors.blue,
      ),
      dark: ThemeData(
        brightness: Brightness.dark,
        primaryColor: Colors.grey,
      ),
      initial: AdaptiveThemeMode.system,
      builder: (theme) => MaterialApp(
        title: 'My App',
        theme: theme,
        home: MyHomePage(),
      ),
    );
  }
}
