Dashboards & Visualizations

Is it possible to toggle dashboard theme at runtime by user input field?

Is it possible to allow users the interactive capability of selecting between light and dark mode theme by way of an input field?  I tried:

<form theme="$background_theme_token$>

along with an input field for that token ( light or dark selection ) and was not able to get it to work.

Any suggestions or is this not doable in the Classic dashboard (XML) world?

Thanks in advance,

Bob

@chiliconbeano - It is not possible with just simple XML and tokens.

But as per the document of Simple XML dashboards, you can set the URL to:

<dashboard_url>?theme=dark

 with JavaScript to achieve the same.

Note that this will not be changed to dashboard XML, it will just show the user a different theme. But enough for what you want to achieve.

 

I hope this helps!!!
