Propagating Theming Information from Host Applications to Host Extensions

摘要

Mechanisms are described herein for propagating a theme definition from a host application to a host extension so that the host application and the host extension are visually consistent. A theme definition may be updated after a theme change event occurs as a result of a user interacting with the host application. The theme definition may then be utilized by the host extension to update one or more UI elements presented by the host extension to enable visual consistency.

1. A computer-implemented method for propagating theme change events from a host application to a host extension, the method comprising:
providing a theme definition from the host application to the host extension, whereby the host extension utilizes the theme definition to update one or more user interface (UI) elements presented by the host extension; detecting a theme change event by way of the host application; and in response to detecting the theme change event,
updating the theme definition based upon the theme change event to create an updated theme definition, andproviding a notification of the theme change event from the host application to the host extension,whereby the host extension utilizes the updated theme definition to update the one or more UI elements presented by the host extension.
