What’s New in Themer 1.1

Themer 1.1 empowers you to directly theme your Ext JS 6 apps using app inspect mode and make them look great. With our JavaScript-based theme compiler, you inspect component theme variables in your app, make changes to those theme variables, and view theme changes in your app real-time. For Themer 1.1 EA, you can connect your app in Chrome or Firefox to Themer.

Easily Connect Your App to Themer

With Themer 1.1, you can easily connect your Ext JS App to Themer by slightly updating app.json. Just follow the instructions in the Themer documentation to connect your app. From Themer, you can view Connected Apps by using the menu to navigate to View > Connected Apps

Directly Theme Your App

Once your app is connected to Themer, it’s easy to theme components in your app. Just click the “Inspect” button in Themer and hover your cursor over the components in your application. Components eligible for theming will be framed with a red dashed outline. Clicking on an eligible component will outline the component in red and reveal its theming variables in Themer. As you make changes to theme variables, your app will update real-time with the new theme.
