Defining a custom theme​

In order to alter at least one of the colors mentioned above, you need to pass it to the DocumentScannerConfiguration which is used to start the ready to use UI Scan components.

The following is an example which alters all currently available colors.

var config = new DocumentScannerConfiguration();
//define your colors
config.ColorConfig.ColorPrimary = (Colors.Purple, Colors.Purple);
config.ColorConfig.ColorSecondary = (Colors.Purple, Colors.Purple);
config.ColorConfig.ColorOnSecondary = (Colors.White, Colors.Black);
config.ColorConfig.ColorScanButtonsLayoutBackground = (Colors.White, Colors.Black);
config.ColorConfig.ColorScanButtonsForeground = (Colors.Black, Colors.White);
config.ColorConfig.ColorScanPolygon = (Colors.Purple, Colors.Purple);
config.ColorConfig.ColorBottomBarBackground = (Colors.Purple, Colors.Black);
config.ColorConfig.ColorBottomBarForeground = (Colors.White, Colors.White);
config.ColorConfig.ColorTopBarBackground = (Colors.Purple, Colors.Black);
config.ColorConfig.ColorTopBarForeground = (Colors.White, Colors.White);
//start the scanner
await UI.ScanDocument(config);

Dark Mode​

The Docutain Scanner SDK also supports dark mode theming. This is why each color has a Light and a Dark version.

public (Color Light, Color Dark)? ColorPrimary;

The colors will be automatically picked up based on the device setting. If it is currently in dark mode, the Docutain SDK will use the Dark versions of the colors, otherwise it will use the Light versions.

Document Scan Onboarding​

If a user opens the document scanner for the first time, an onboarding dialog appears. The displayed image can be customized by setting the OnboardingImageSource of the DocumentScannerConfiguration. Set it to the image name you want to use. If it is a SVG or PNG image, you need to leave out the file extension. If it is a JPG image, you need to provide the file extension for the iOS platform and leave out the file extension for the Android platform.

var config = new DocumentScannerConfiguration();
//define your custom onboarding image
config.OnboardingImageSource = "your_custom_image";
//start the scanner
await UI.ScanDocument(config);
caution

If you are using a custom image, you are responsible to test wether the dialog layout is fine.
