Tutorial: Theme your applicationΒΆ

In this tutorial you learn how to theme your Kanzi application. Creating a theme involves creation and use of different resources, such as textures, styles, and layouts. You learn how to use the theme feature in Kanzi to:

  • Create different appearances of the same application. To learn how to do this, you create a car cluster with these themes:

    • The Classic theme contains circular speed and RPM gauges with the values for both shown in the center of the gauge.

    • The Modern theme contains staircase speed and RPM gauges where the values for both move up as the values increase and down as values decrease.

  • Use a single Kanzi Studio project for more than one variant of your product. To learn how to do this, you create a car cluster for these car variants:

    • The Gasoline variant contains the resources you deploy only to the gasoline variant of the car.
