SDK Themes

The SDK UI has two color themes: light and dark.

2237 — Examples of Instabug in light mode (left) and dark mode (right).

You can set which theme to use by adding the following method to Instabug builder.

Instabug.setColorTheme(InstabugColorTheme.InstabugColorThemeLight)

Instabug.setColorTheme(InstabugColorTheme.InstabugColorThemeLight);

Primary Color, Fonts, and Backgrounds

You can also further customize the SDK to match your brand’s design and identity by utilizing the API below. This API offers to set the color of UI elements that indicate interactivity, Font color, types and styles, background color, and call-to-action colors.

Instabug.setTheme(
    IBGTheme.Builder()
        .setPrimaryColor(Color.parseColor("#887e64")) //  Color of UI elements that indicate interactivity (Links, or Call To Action)
        .setPrimaryTextType(primaryTypeFace!!)
        .setSecondaryTextType(secondaryTypeFace!!)
        .setSecondaryTextColor(Color.parseColor("#69655a"))
        .setPrimaryTextColor(Color.parseColor("#2d2a21"))
        .setPrimaryTextStyle(Typeface.BOLD)
        .setSecondaryTextStyle(Typeface.ITALIC)
        .setTitleTextColor(Color.parseColor("#b6a886"))
        .setBackgroundColor(Color.parseColor("#f1e8d3"))
        .setTitleTextStyle(Typeface.BOLD)
        .setCtaTextStyle(Typeface.ITALIC)
        .setCtaTextType(primaryTypeFace!!)
        .build()
    )

Instabug.setTheme(
    IBGTheme.Builder()
        .setPrimaryColor(Color.parseColor("#887e64")) //  Color of UI elements that indicate interactivity (Links, or Call To Action)
        .setPrimaryTextType(primaryTypeFace!!)

        .setSecondaryTextColor(Color.parseColor("#69655a"))
