USD – Change Theme (Simple)

The simplest approach to changing the USD theme is to use one of three standard themes provided by Microsoft.

Theme Syntax for the Data field
Air /UnifiedServiceDesk;component/Styles/AirStyle.xaml
Blue /UnifiedServiceDesk;component/Styles/BlueStyle.xaml
Style /UnifiedServiceDesk;component/Styles/Win8Style.xaml

Update: Please note that Blue and Style have now been deprecated. (From USD v2.2 onwards.)

To apply any of these themes;

  1. Navigate to the Global Manager
  2. Goto events and select the “DeskTopReady” event.
  3. Add a new action call like the one below.

Name = “SetTheme”

Order = 1 (The order must be 1!)

Hosted Control = Your Global container

Action = SetTheme

Data = Whichever theme you want to apply from list above.

Theme1

This gives a theme like the one below.

Theme2

    • How do you want the announcement to work / show in USD? I assume you mean CRM annoucements?
      I have seen code to show announcements on dashboards before. I guess you could do that. (To be honest I haven’t used the announcement entity in CRM much!)
