Custom primary theme does not render at launch

[paumartinez1]

Hi! Is there a way to immediately set the primary theme (light) to a custom color? Upon the launch of the app, it seems that the page renders fully before my code for bypassing the current primary theme takes effect.

I immediately change the theme after import:

import solara.lab
solara.lab.theme.themes.light.primary = "#ADACAC"

But when I print the primary theme immediately after launch, it's this default color #1976D2 and not #ADACAC

Hi Paula,

yes, you cannot do it dynamically, but you can set a theme file, see:
https://solara.dev/documentation/advanced/reference/asset-files
for more information.

Does that help you?

[maartenbreddels]

is it in ../assets with respect to your script?

[paumartinez1]

Yes. My project directory tree looks like this:

app.py is what I use in solara run. Am I missing something?

[maartenbreddels]

Spot the difference :)

your app.py should go into a directory, since we look at ../assets

I think we should put a warning on that page, most people miss it.

Thank you! It's working already.

Hi @maartenbreddels! After I followed this directory structure, the hot-reloading feature doesn't seem to work anymore. I have root/utils and I'm importing the files there to root/pages. When I change something in utils, they do not get rendered in pages, unless I shut down the app and launch again.
