How to use multiple themes in a single app?

Is there a tutorial that covers the steps / tasks / considerations involved in implementing multiple UI themes [within the same app] for say Android, iOS and Windows Phone builds?

There rare plenty of great tutorials showing how to build various app elements, but I couldn't find one along the lines of "Place your iOS theme components here and...", "Next place theme components & resources for Windows Phone here..." etc.

Thanks!

Steve

Hello! You can create theme with manually with CSS or using Themeroller tool http://docs.appery.io/documentation/w.... Then in Project--App Settings-- General--Theme switch on between themes for Android, iOS and Windows Phone and export app for each platform with current theme selected.

Just a little question here (I'm in the learning process). When you paste text from the IOS-like theme in builder (copy default color scheme from IOS-like theme under Themes) into the http://jquerymobile.com/themeroller you get swatch A and B (Import button).

When you go to Project App settings in Appery builder and select IOS-like theme you have only B and C swatch as valid options. What happened to swatch A and where did swatch C come from?

Hi Ole,

Yes, for now there is no swatch A, you can use B and C instead.

Ok thanks. If I explicit use A it later gets translated to A(jqm). And if i explicit on control/component use swatch C it kind of looks like A in the picture above (mostly). Little strange. Maybe someday I will understand :-)

Hi,
Im using theme ios-like in my App.
On two screens swatch A(missing in this theme) is on the screen options. I need to use this color because of my app logo.

But in the other pages this swatch is not available (just inherent, B,C)

Why this happens and how can use this swatch A in all other pages?

Regards
