Using Themes with vSphere Client Plug-ins
The vSphere Client SDK provides the means for a plug-in to integrate with the themes supported by the vSphere Client. Modifying a plug-in to support themes requires changes to the plug-in style sheets and front-end code to switch style sheets whenever the user changes the theme in the vSphere Client.
To
integrate with the vSphere Client themes, a plug-in uses these methods of the
JavaScript API:
app.getTheme()event.onThemeChanged(callback)
The following procedures assume that the plug-in's front-end code is built using Angular and Clarity Design System. For other frameworks and build tools, the approach is similar but you will need to adapt the approach to suit the chosen tools. The examples in this guide are based on the HTML Plug-in Sample provided as part of the vSphere Client SDK.
