Modern Controls and Themes in Canvas Apps
Microsoft launched the preview of Modern Controls for Canvas apps in late March, 2023. Users can try it out by opting in. Modern controls and themes in canvas apps are a new feature that improves the user experience in the Power Apps environment.
These modern controls, based on the Microsoft Fluent design system, create a more unified and attractive interface, while the modern theming system lets you change the app’s appearance from one place.
The modern controls, made with accessibility, usability, and performance in mind, make it easier and faster for makers to configure the app and for end-users to use it. The modern theming system, based on the Fluent 2 design system, lets you change various style elements, such as color, typography, borders, and shadows, harmoniously and appealingly.
To turn on modern controls and themes, users can go to the “Upcoming Features” section and switch on the Modern controls and themes toggle.
After that, users can choose from various modern controls and themes to make a visually consistent and coherent app with ease. The modern controls library keeps growing, offering many controls such as Badge, Button, Checkbox, Date Picker, Dropdown, and more. Below are 13 Power Apps Modern controls.
