I am trying to achieve dynamic Application Branding as per environment.
For example, I want cover color to be green in Development environment and Blue in Production environment. Can you please suggest how this can be achieved?

Hi kousik,
If you want to make a distinguish between the environment we can use different logo/avatar/cover images in the image library with the exact same name accross environment. for example, you have two different environment and test, and you need to identify their application so you can use different logo/avatar/cover images in the image library with the exact same name and can identify with the images.

environment 2:
You can play with this section as well for color theme

Hi Bharat ,
Thank you for your reply. I have understood your point regarding the two different images with same name in two different location.
For my scenario I want to distinguish in terms of Cover Color as the I want to keep the Logo and Icon same across the environments.

Hi Bharat,
You have pointed out rightly. How I can dynamically change the color in Color theming part as in your screen shot. for Example: For Dev environment I want Title bar color as Green, in prod end we want that to be in blue.
You can not set this dynamically, you will have to fill the color theming for your application manually
for example Under Color Theming, populate the Title Bar Authoring Color property following this format: rgb(xxx, yyy, zzz) (for example, "rgb(74, 160, 15)")
Use a web-based tool like convertingcolors.com to validate your color combination.
Colors are set for each xDM application and follow Material Design standards including the idea of Primary, Contrast, and Error colors.
Colors may be specified using the material design or CSS color syntax.
you can follow this semarchy document for more detial
As said Kousik, Semarchy can not dynamically change the color theming ; it is manual.
So, you can do this in your deployment process :
- by modifying the model.xml
- updating the repository (not supported by Semarchy)
Here are the tags in xml :
And the attributes in MTA_APPLICATION table (Careful to the PK branchid, editionid and uuid)

hi there,
within application confuguration / color theming, what specifically does the "Sidebar" refer to (Sidebar Default color, Sidebar Error Contrast Color, etc?)
I am playing around with color theming, and ive figured out the title bar color impacts, but cannot do the same with the sidebar...
so what part of the application window is impacted by changes to sidebar colors? Thank you

Hello Michael,
I think everything is explained and put as diagram over here:
hi thank you for responding. I did see that documentation, which was very detailed. My issue is that I can readily see the impact of color changes on the "title bar" attributes. they pop right away. However I cannot see any visible impact when I modify any of the sidebar attributes....nothing changes, at least what I would expect (the left side of the application screen).
So my questions are
-- what area of the application window is the "sidebar"
-- what specific changes should I expect by adding a color to the sidebar default, sidebar error contrast, etc?
Thank you

Hello Michael,
This is the sidebar:
It is the right section opening whenever you click on the little i at the right of your attribute that displays the field definition, its value and timeline.
Here is what I've configured for you to make the parallel:
I don't have any use case configured for errors or authoring, but I'm putting back here the explanation for all properties:
