And if you're really clever; you define your fonts, sizes, colors etc in the App onload property and just use variable names in all your components. That way you can reuse the values throughout you app and adjust them all in one place.
You are missing one VERY nice to know thing: you can define MULTIPLE fonts. Usually I use a company font but I also define a fallback for computers not having the fonts installed. Just write it like this: Label.Font: „Company Font, Segoe UI, Verdana, sans-serif“. That‘s just like in CSS. This goes from left to right, so if the first font is not found, the next font is used. If no fonts are found, it falls back to the default sans-serif font in my example. Nevertheless, thank you for your work once again! I wish designing Power Apps would be more fun. As a Adobe XD user this always hurts a lot.
Hi April, this is another brilliant video, (one to add to my collection); its great how you help us all to learn new ways to enhance our PowerApps, thanks.
Hi April nice video! Short and simple and best of all easy to follow. thanks, do you have a link to view that upcoming dates feature yous showed at the end in the desk reservation
Thanks April for the tips. Those combo boxes are really really boxy and can really mess up a design when you need to add filter functionality. Have you encountered a similar issue?
Hi April, great video, thank you! We do have to change each element in the Forms control, right? It's not like in the Gallery that when we change the first element then all the rest take those changes, correct?
I really like and appreciate your videos! One question: this has always been annoying for me re the look of date/calendar and dropdown fields. They do not have a border radius setting. Do you know of a way to round these corners (other than creating additional box with radius and copying the data in that item)?
This is time consuming and not sustainable for a large enterprise with many app builders inheriting apps built by others. Instead, there should be a Centrally Managed Theme that OVERRIDES the default theme.
I mention in countless videos that I do about design and branding that themes are the best option for larger applications. There's nothing wrong with showing that there is multiple ways to do things in Power Apps. I always reference the theming engine and app that Sancho built as an option for reusability and scale.
Sadly no matter what you do - Powerapps still looks like it was designed in a primary school by 11 year olds - it's just clunky and awful UX. Why cant you have rounded corners on all of the controls? Why hasn't Microsoft fixed bugs that were reported back in 2018 and are still bugs today? Where are the basic sets of UI controls that 'should' be in every low-code platform. In my experience, Powerapps is not at all low code for anything but the very basic of applications. There are way better real low-code platforms out there - (at lower cost) than Microsoft. Microsoft need to seriously up their game - this is a poor platform
