Flutter change status bar brightness to dark - dart

I tried several ways to make status bar icons dark, but after home press and returning to app status bar icons are white!
it seems that its flutter bug.
but in iOS it works fine.
i tried these ways :
android app style:
<item name="android:windowLightStatusBar">false</item>
AppBar brightness:
brightness: Brightness.dark
Flutter API:
SystemChrome.setSystemUIOverlayStyle(SystemUiOverlayStyle.dark.copyWith(
statusBarIconBrightness: Brightness.dark
));
flutter_statusbarcolor package :
import 'package:flutter_statusbarcolor/flutter_statusbarcolor.dart';
FlutterStatusbarcolor.setStatusBarWhiteForeground(false);

Add following into your widget tree:
AnnotatedRegion<SystemUiOverlayStyle>(
value: SystemUiOverlayStyle.dark,
child: ...
)

As of Flutter 2.4.*, AppBar brightness is deprecated. To achieve status bar brightness, add a systemOverlayStyle to your AppBar as I have highlighted below.
appBar: AppBar(
systemOverlayStyle: SystemUiOverlayStyle(
statusBarBrightness: Brightness.dark
),
)
If you wish to apply dark status bar icons on the entire app, add an appBarTheme to your MaterialApp theme as shown in the following code. Your MaterialApp widget is on the main.dart file;
MaterialApp(
...
theme: ThemeData(
appBarTheme: AppBarTheme(
systemOverlayStyle: SystemUiOverlayStyle(
statusBarBrightness: Brightness.dark
),
),
)
)

SystemChrome.setSystemUIOverlayStyle(SystemUiOverlayStyle(
statusBarColor: Colors.white
));
This is only working when there is no appbar. If there is an app bar, this will not work. So you will have to change the brightness of appbar first.
appBar: new AppBar(
brightness: Brightness.light, // Add this line
),

If you want to change the theme for the app as a whole, I would recommend this answer to a similar problem: https://stackoverflow.com/a/62607827/15605135
If you want to change a single AppBar, you could try to use the systemOverlayStyle property:
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return Scaffold(
appBar: AppBar(
systemOverlayStyle: SystemUiOverlayStyle.dark,
),
);
}

Wrap your widget with SafeArea and include brightness in your appBar and it will work.
void main()
{
SystemChrome.setSystemUIOverlayStyle(SystemUiOverlayStyle(statusBarColor: Colors.deepPurple,
statusBarBrightness: Brightness.dark,
));
runApp(MyApp());
}
return SafeArea(child: Scaffold(
appBar: AppBar(
toolbarHeight: 50,
centerTitle: true,
brightness: Brightness.dark,
backgroundColor: Colors.deepPurple,
child: Text("Your Text"),),

Use:-
systemOverlayStyle: SystemUiOverlayStyle.dark,
instead of:
brightness: Brightness.dark,

Apply for all appBar use
return MaterialApp(
theme: ThemeData(
appBarTheme: Theme.of(context)
.appBarTheme
.copyWith(systemOverlayStyle: SystemUiOverlayStyle.dark)),
debugShowCheckedModeBanner: false,
home: widget());
I hope it works.

How to change shadow color of AppBar?

I am trying to change shadow elevation color of the AppBar but can't find any property for that.
I went to the original implementation as well but cant find any property to change shadow color.
AppBar(
title: Image.asset(
"images/toolbar_logo.webp",
width: 80,
height: 50,
),
centerTitle: true,
backgroundColor: white,
),
I cant wrap the AppBar inside a Material Widget.
I know i can avoid the app bar property and create a custom class and add it to my body of Scaffold,
but is it possible to change using shadow color of AppBar?
There isn't a way to change the colour of the default shadow but you can get around it by wrapping your AppBar in a Container which is inside a PreferredSize widget:
void main() => runApp(App());
class App extends StatelessWidget {
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return MaterialApp(
home: Scaffold(
appBar: PreferredSize(
child: Container(
decoration: BoxDecoration(boxShadow: [
BoxShadow(
color: Colors.red,
offset: Offset(0, 2.0),
blurRadius: 4.0,
)
]),
child: AppBar(
elevation: 0.0,
title: Text("Test"),
),
),
preferredSize: Size.fromHeight(kToolbarHeight),
),
body: Container(),
),
);
}
}
The accepted answer is a bit expired. You can do this in two ways:
Changing directly through the AppBar property:
void main() => runApp(App());
class App extends StatelessWidget {
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return MaterialApp(
home: Scaffold(
appBar: AppBar(shadowColor: Colors.green),
body: Container(),
),
);
}
}
Or by using the Theme:
void main() => runApp(App());
class App extends StatelessWidget {
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return MaterialApp(
theme: ThemeData(
appBarTheme: AppBarTheme(
shadowColor: Colors.white,
),
),
home: Scaffold(
appBar: AppBar(),
body: Container(),
),
);
}
}
You can use the shadowColor property of Appbar to color to paint the shadow below the app bar.

How to change status bar color in Flutter?

I am trying to change the status bar color to white. I found this pub on flutter. I tried to use the example code on my dart files.
Update Flutter 2.0 (Recommended):
On latest Flutter version, you should use:
AppBar(
systemOverlayStyle: SystemUiOverlayStyle(
// Status bar color
statusBarColor: Colors.red,
// Status bar brightness (optional)
statusBarIconBrightness: Brightness.dark, // For Android (dark icons)
statusBarBrightness: Brightness.light, // For iOS (dark icons)
),
)
Only Android (more flexibility):
import 'package:flutter/services.dart';
void main() {
SystemChrome.setSystemUIOverlayStyle(SystemUiOverlayStyle(
systemNavigationBarColor: Colors.blue, // navigation bar color
statusBarColor: Colors.pink, // status bar color
));
}
Both iOS and Android:
appBar: AppBar(
backgroundColor: Colors.red, // Status bar color
)
A bit hacky but works on both iOS and Android:
Container(
color: Colors.red, // Status bar color
child: SafeArea(
left: false,
right: false,
bottom: false,
child: Scaffold(
appBar: AppBar(
backgroundColor: Colors.blue, // App bar color
),
),
),
)
Works totally fine in my app
import 'package:flutter_statusbarcolor/flutter_statusbarcolor.dart';
void main() => runApp(new MyApp());
class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
FlutterStatusbarcolor.setStatusBarColor(Colors.white);
return MaterialApp(
title: app_title,
theme: ThemeData(
primarySwatch: Colors.blue,
),
home: HomePage(title: home_title),
);
}
}
(this package)
UPD:
Recommended solution (Flutter 2.0 and above)
SystemChrome.setSystemUIOverlayStyle(SystemUiOverlayStyle(
statusBarColor: Colors.white
));
For those who uses AppBar
If you use AppBar then updating status bar color is as simple as this:
Scaffold(
appBar: AppBar(
// Use [Brightness.light] for black status bar
// or [Brightness.dark] for white status bar
// https://stackoverflow.com/a/58132007/1321917
brightness: Brightness.light
),
body: ...
)
To apply for all app bars:
return MaterialApp(
theme: Theme.of(context).copyWith(
appBarTheme: Theme.of(context)
.appBarTheme
.copyWith(brightness: Brightness.light),
...
),
For those who don't use AppBar
Wrap your content with AnnotatedRegion and set value to SystemUiOverlayStyle.light or SystemUiOverlayStyle.dark:
return AnnotatedRegion<SystemUiOverlayStyle>(
// Use [SystemUiOverlayStyle.light] for white status bar
// or [SystemUiOverlayStyle.dark] for black status bar
// https://stackoverflow.com/a/58132007/1321917
value: SystemUiOverlayStyle.light,
child: Scaffold(...),
);
Edit for Flutter 2.0.0
The answer below does not work anymore when you have an AppBar on the screen. You now need to configure the AppBarTheme.brightness and AppBarTheme.systemOverlayStyle correctly in that case.
Answer
Instead of the often suggested SystemChrome.setSystemUIOverlayStyle() which is a system wide service and does not reset on a different route, you can use an AnnotatedRegion<SystemUiOverlayStyle> which is a widget and only has effect for the widget that you wrap.
AnnotatedRegion<SystemUiOverlayStyle>(
value: SystemUiOverlayStyle(
statusBarColor: Colors.white,
),
child: Scaffold(
...
),
)
This worked for me:
Import Service
import 'package:flutter/services.dart';
Then add:
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
SystemChrome.setSystemUIOverlayStyle(SystemUiOverlayStyle(
statusBarColor: Colors.white,
statusBarBrightness: Brightness.dark,
));
return MaterialApp(home: Scaffold(
Change status bar color when you are not using AppBar
First Import this
import 'package:flutter/services.dart';
Now use below code to change status bar color in your application when you are not using the AppBar
SystemChrome.setSystemUIOverlayStyle(SystemUiOverlayStyle.dark.copyWith(
statusBarColor: AppColors.statusBarColor,/* set Status bar color in Android devices. */
statusBarIconBrightness: Brightness.dark,/* set Status bar icons color in Android devices.*/
statusBarBrightness: Brightness.dark)/* set Status bar icon color in iOS. */
);
To change the status bar color in iOS when you are using SafeArea
Scaffold(
body: Container(
color: Colors.red, /* Set your status bar color here */
child: SafeArea(child: Container(
/* Add your Widget here */
)),
),
);
I think this will help you:
SystemChrome.setSystemUIOverlayStyle(SystemUiOverlayStyle(
systemNavigationBarColor: Colors.white, // navigation bar color
statusBarColor: Colors.white, // status bar color
statusBarIconBrightness: Brightness.dark, // status bar icons' color
systemNavigationBarIconBrightness: Brightness.dark, //navigation bar icons' color
));
What worked for me (For those who don't use AppBar)
Add AppbBar with preferred color and then set : toolbarHeight: 0
child: Scaffold(
appBar: AppBar(
toolbarHeight: 0,
backgroundColor: Colors.blue,
brightness: Brightness.light,
)
I can't comment directly in the thread since I don't have the requisite reputation yet, but the author asked the following:
the only issue is that the background is white but the clock, wireless and other text and icons are also in white .. I am not sure why!!
For anyone else who comes to this thread, here's what worked for me. The text color of the status bar is decided by the Brightness constant in flutter/material.dart. To change this, adjust the SystemChrome solution like so to configure the text:
SystemChrome.setSystemUIOverlayStyle(SystemUiOverlayStyle(
statusBarColor: Colors.red,
statusBarBrightness: Brightness.dark,
));
Your possible values for Brightness are Brightness.dark and Brightness.light.
Documentation:
https://api.flutter.dev/flutter/dart-ui/Brightness-class.html
https://api.flutter.dev/flutter/services/SystemUiOverlayStyle-class.html
This is everything you need to know:
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:flutter/services.dart';
void main() {
SystemChrome.setSystemUIOverlayStyle(SystemUiOverlayStyle(
systemNavigationBarColor: Colors.amber, // navigation bar color
statusBarColor: Colors.white, // status bar color
statusBarIconBrightness: Brightness.dark, // status bar icon color
systemNavigationBarIconBrightness: Brightness.dark, // color of navigation controls
));
runApp(MyApp());
}
It can be achieved in 2 steps:
Set the status bar color to match to your page background using FlutterStatusbarcolor package
Set the status bar buttons' (battery, wifi etc.) colors using the AppBar.brightness property
If you have an AppBar:
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
FlutterStatusbarcolor.setStatusBarColor(Colors.white);
return Scaffold(
appBar: AppBar(
brightness: Brightness.light,
// Other AppBar properties
),
body: Container()
);
}
If you don't want to show the app bar in the page:
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
FlutterStatusbarcolor.setStatusBarColor(Colors.white);
return Scaffold(
appBar: AppBar(
brightness: Brightness.light,
elevation: 0.0,
toolbarHeight: 0.0, // Hide the AppBar
),
body: Container()
}
[Tested in Android]
This is how I was able to make status bar transparent and it's text color dark,
import 'package:flutter/services.dart';
void main() {
SystemChrome.setSystemUIOverlayStyle(SystemUiOverlayStyle(
statusBarColor: Colors.transparent, // transparent status bar
statusBarIconBrightness: Brightness.dark // dark text for status bar
));
runApp(MyApp());
}
Using AnnotatedRegion is what works best for me, especially if I don't have an AppBar
import 'package:flutter/services.dart';
...
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return Scaffold(
body: AnnotatedRegion<SystemUiOverlayStyle>(
value: SystemUiOverlayStyle.light,
child: ...,
),
);
}
From Flutter 2.5.0
brightness property is deprecated in AppBar
We need to use, systemOverlayStyle property
Example,If you are using an AppBar
AppBar(
title: Text("Title"),
systemOverlayStyle: SystemUiOverlayStyle.dark) //for dark color
on the main.dart file
import service like follow
import 'package:flutter/services.dart';
and inside build method just add this line before return
SystemChrome.setSystemUIOverlayStyle(SystemUiOverlayStyle(
statusBarColor: Colors.orange
));
Like this:
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
SystemChrome.setSystemUIOverlayStyle(SystemUiOverlayStyle(
statusBarColor: CustomColors.appbarcolor
));
return MaterialApp(
home: MySplash(),
theme: ThemeData(
brightness: Brightness.light,
primaryColor: CustomColors.appbarcolor,
),
);
}
This one will also work
SystemChrome.setSystemUIOverlayStyle(SystemUiOverlayStyle.dark);
SystemChrome.setSystemUIOverlayStyle(SystemUiOverlayStyle.light);
This is by far is the best way, it requires no extra plugins.
Widget emptyAppBar(){
return PreferredSize(
preferredSize: Size.fromHeight(0.0),
child: AppBar(
backgroundColor: Color(0xFFf7f7f7),
brightness: Brightness.light,
)
);
}
and call it in your scaffold like this
return Scaffold(
appBar: emptyAppBar(),
.
.
.
Most of the answers are using SystemChrome which only works for Android. My solution is to combine both AnnotatedRegion and SafeArea into new Widget so it also works in iOS. And I can use it with or without AppBar.
class ColoredStatusBar extends StatelessWidget {
const ColoredStatusBar({
Key key,
this.color,
this.child,
this.brightness = Brightness.dark,
}) : super(key: key);
final Color color;
final Widget child;
final Brightness brightness;
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
final defaultColor = Colors.blue;
final androidIconBrightness =
brightness == Brightness.dark ? Brightness.light : Brightness.dark;
return AnnotatedRegion<SystemUiOverlayStyle>(
value: SystemUiOverlayStyle(
statusBarColor: color ?? defaultColor,
statusBarIconBrightness: androidIconBrightness,
statusBarBrightness: brightness,
),
child: Container(
color: color ?? defaultColor,
child: SafeArea(
bottom: false,
child: Container(
child: child,
),
),
),
);
}
}
Usage: Place it to top of page's widget.
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return ColoredStatusBar(
child: /* your child here */,
);
}
None of the answers seem to mention that you can do it with your ThemeData function in your main MaterialApp widget.
return MaterialApp(
theme: ThemeData(
appBarTheme: const AppBarTheme(
systemOverlayStyle: SystemUiOverlayStyle(
statusBarColor: Colors.white,
),
),
),
),
This can also be done in the darkTheme ThemeData.
Latest solution. Flutter 2.0 and above
For those who use AppBar:
/// WORKS on the screen where appBar is used
Scaffold(
appBar: AppBar(
systemOverlayStyle: SystemUiOverlayStyle(
// statusBarColor: Colors.red, // You can use this as well
statusBarIconBrightness: Brightness.dark, // OR Vice Versa for ThemeMode.dark
statusBarBrightness: Brightness.light, // OR Vice Versa for ThemeMode.dark
),
),
),
For those who DON'T use AppBar:
Put the code below on the root screen's build function to AFFECT all the screens below:
void main() {
runApp(MyApp());
}
// This widget is the root of your application.
class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
/// WORKS on every screen EXCEPT the screen in which appBar is used
SystemChrome.setSystemUIOverlayStyle(
SystemUiOverlayStyle(
// statusBarColor: Colors.red, // You can use this as well
statusBarIconBrightness: Brightness.dark, // OR Vice Versa for ThemeMode.dark
statusBarBrightness: Brightness.light, // OR Vice Versa for ThemeMode.dark
),
);
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {}
}
Put the code below on the single screen's build function to AFFECT this screen only:
class SingleScreen extends StatelessWidget {
/// WORKS on a single screen where appBar is NOT used
SystemChrome.setSystemUIOverlayStyle(
SystemUiOverlayStyle(
// statusBarColor: Colors.red, // You can use this as well
statusBarIconBrightness: Brightness.dark, // OR Vice Versa for ThemeMode.dark
statusBarBrightness: Brightness.light, // OR Vice Versa for ThemeMode.dark
),
);
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {}
}
return Scaffold(
backgroundColor: STATUS_BAR_COLOR_HERE,
body: SafeArea(
child: scaffoldBody(),
),
);
Works for both iOS and Android
import 'package:flutter/services.dart';
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
SystemChrome.setSystemUIOverlayStyle(SystemUiOverlayStyle.dark);
return Scaffold();
}
You can do as follows,
SystemChrome.setSystemUIOverlayStyle(
SystemUiOverlayStyle(
statusBarColor: Colors.grey.withOpacity(0.5),
statusBarIconBrightness: Brightness.dark,
statusBarBrightness:
Platform.isAndroid ? Brightness.dark : Brightness.light,
systemNavigationBarColor: Colors.white,
systemNavigationBarDividerColor: Colors.grey,
systemNavigationBarIconBrightness: Brightness.dark,
),
);
Add this code to your main.dart build method,
this (inside the scaffold) creates a black statusbar with light content. (no Appbar)
appBar: AppBar(
toolbarHeight: 0,
backgroundColor: Colors.black,
systemOverlayStyle: SystemUiOverlayStyle.light,
),
to Make it Like your App Bar Color
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
SystemChrome.setSystemUIOverlayStyle(SystemUiOverlayStyle(
statusBarColor: Colors.transparent,
systemNavigationBarColor: Colors.transparent,
));
}
None of the existing solutions helped me, because I don't use AppBar and I don't want to make statements whenever the user switches the app theme. I needed a reactive way to switch between the light and dark modes and found that AppBar uses a widget called Semantics for setting the status bar color.
Basically, this is how I do it:
return Semantics(
container: false, // don't make it a new node in the hierarchy
child: AnnotatedRegion<SystemUiOverlayStyle>(
value: SystemUiOverlayStyle.light, // or .dark
child: MyApp(), // your widget goes here
),
);
Semantics is imported from package:flutter/material.dart.
SystemUiOverlayStyle is imported from package:flutter/services.dart.
Use this way to make your status bar completely white with the dark status bar icons,
I use it personally! tested on android worked fine!
import 'package:FileSharing/bodypage.dart';
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:flutter/services.dart';
void main() {
runApp(MyApp());
}
class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
// This widget is the root of your application.
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return MaterialApp(
debugShowCheckedModeBanner: false,
theme: ThemeData(
// This is the theme of your application.
//
// Try running your application with "flutter run". You'll see the
// application has a blue toolbar. Then, without quitting the app, try
// changing the primarySwatch below to Colors.green and then invoke
// "hot reload" (press "r" in the console where you ran "flutter run",
// or simply save your changes to "hot reload" in a Flutter IDE).
// Notice that the counter didn't reset back to zero; the application
// is not restarted.
primarySwatch: Colors.blue,
appBarTheme: AppBarTheme(
color: Colors.white,
elevation: 0,
brightness: Brightness.light,
centerTitle: true,
iconTheme: IconThemeData(
color: Colors.black,
),
textTheme: TextTheme(),
)
// This makes the visual density adapt to the platform that you run
// the app on. For desktop platforms, the controls will be smaller and
// closer together (more dense) than on mobile platforms.
),
home: MyHomePage(),
);
}
}
class MyHomePage extends StatefulWidget {
#override
_MyHomePageState createState() => _MyHomePageState();
}
class _MyHomePageState extends State<MyHomePage> {
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
SystemChrome.setSystemUIOverlayStyle(SystemUiOverlayStyle(
statusBarColor: Colors.white,
));
return Scaffold(
appBar: AppBar(
brightness: Brightness.light,
actions: [
Container(
width: 63,
padding: EdgeInsets.only(right: 30),
child: FloatingActionButton(
onPressed: null,
backgroundColor: Colors.pink,
elevation: 8,
child: Icon(Icons.person_pin),
),
)
],
),
);
}
}
The best way with out any packages
Scaffold(
extendBodyBehindAppBar: true,
appBar: AppBar(
toolbarHeight: 0,
backgroundColor: Colors.transparent,
elevation: 0,
systemOverlayStyle: const SystemUiOverlayStyle(
statusBarColor: Colors.transparent, // <-- SEE HERE
statusBarIconBrightness:
Brightness.dark, //<-- For Android SEE HERE (dark icons)
statusBarBrightness: Brightness.light,
),
),.......
you can use for Android:
import 'package:flutter/services.dart';
void main() {
SystemChrome.setSystemUIOverlayStyle(SystemUiOverlayStyle(
systemNavigationBarColor: Colors.blue, // navigation bar color
statusBarColor: Colors.pink, // status bar color
));
}
you can also use this in SliverAppBar, don't forget to use backwardsCompatibility: false it would not work if you skip this property. also see doc
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return Scaffold(
appBar: null,
body: CustomScrollView(
slivers: <Widget>[
SliverAppBar(
systemOverlayStyle: SystemUiOverlayStyle(
statusBarColor: Colors.transparent,
statusBarIconBrightness: Brightness.dark),
backwardsCompatibility: false,
//... remaining code and close braces..

How can we change appbar background color in flutter

I am trying to set a common theme for app so I need to change appbar color as a color that indicates hex code #0f0a1a
const MaterialColor toolbarColor = const MaterialColor(
0xFF151026, const <int, Color>{0: const Color(0xFF151026)});
I try this piece of code to make a custom color but fails.
How can I do this from themeData?
Declare your Color:
const primaryColor = Color(0xFF151026);
In the MaterialApp level (will change the AppBar Color in the whole app ) change primaryColor
return MaterialApp(
title: 'Flutter Demo',
theme: ThemeData(
primaryColor: primaryColor,
),
home: MyApp(),
);
and if you want to change it on the Widget level modify the backgroundColor
appBar: AppBar(
backgroundColor: primaryColor,
),
If you don't want to change the whole PrimaryColor you can also define AppBarTheme in your ThemeData:
MaterialApp(
title: 'Flutter Demo',
theme: ThemeData(
appBarTheme: AppBarTheme(
color: const Color(0xFF151026),
)),
home: myApp(),
)
In the current version of Flutter, to comply with the new "Material You" design, we should try to use ColorScheme whenever possible. The app bar color is controlled by:
If theme brightness is light, use primary color.
If theme brightness is dark, use surface color.
For examples:
Light Mode
Set brightness to light, then set primary and onPrimary to yellow and black, and set all other colors to grey to showcase that they are not relevant to AppBar:
MaterialApp(
theme: ThemeData(
colorScheme: ColorScheme(
brightness: Brightness.light,
primary: Colors.yellow,
onPrimary: Colors.black,
// Colors that are not relevant to AppBar in LIGHT mode:
primaryVariant: Colors.grey,
secondary: Colors.grey,
secondaryVariant: Colors.grey,
onSecondary: Colors.grey,
background: Colors.grey,
onBackground: Colors.grey,
surface: Colors.grey,
onSurface: Colors.grey,
error: Colors.grey,
onError: Colors.grey,
),
),
home: Scaffold(
appBar: AppBar(title: Text("Light Mode Demo")),
),
)
Dark Mode
Set brightness to dark, then set surface and onSurface to yellow and black, all others to grey to showcase that they are not relevant to AppBar.
MaterialApp(
theme: ThemeData(
colorScheme: ColorScheme(
brightness: Brightness.dark,
surface: Colors.yellow,
onSurface: Colors.black,
// Colors that are not relevant to AppBar in DARK mode:
primary: Colors.grey,
onPrimary: Colors.grey,
primaryVariant: Colors.grey,
secondary: Colors.grey,
secondaryVariant: Colors.grey,
onSecondary: Colors.grey,
background: Colors.grey,
onBackground: Colors.grey,
error: Colors.grey,
onError: Colors.grey,
),
),
home: Scaffold(
appBar: AppBar(title: Text("Dark Mode Demo")),
),
)
include backgroundColor: to appbar
appBar: AppBar(
title: const Text('Example'),
backgroundColor: Colors.black,
),
With the new Material 3 and Flutter 3 updates, background color for AppBar can be changed using surfaceTintColor.
Either inside the AppBar like this:
return AppBar(
...
surfaceTintColor: backgroundColor ?? CommonColors.lightColor,
);
Or inside the ThemeData class like this:
ThemeData.light().copyWith(
...
appBarTheme: AppBarTheme(
backgroundColor: CommonColors.lightColor,
surfaceTintColor: CommonColors.lightColor,
actionsIconTheme: const IconThemeData(color: Colors.white),
),
),
According to AppBar description On Flutter 2.5, it uses ColorScheme.primary by default.
The default app bar [backgroundColor] is the overall theme's
[ColorScheme.primary] if the overall theme's brightness is [Brightness.light]. Unfortunately this is the same as the default
[ButtonStyle.foregroundColor] for [TextButton] for light themes.
In this case a preferable text button foreground color is
[ColorScheme.onPrimary], a color that contrasts nicely with
[ColorScheme.primary]. to remedy the problem, override
[TextButton.style]:
try using colorScheme
MaterialApp(
theme: ThemeData(
colorScheme: ColorScheme.fromSwatch(
primarySwatch: const Color(0xFF151026),
),
),
home: MyApp(),
),
And to use somewhere else
Theme.of(context).colorScheme.primary,
Or you can just call backgroundColor on Appbar.
For more, visit ThemeData-class
To change Appbar backgroundColor in the whole app:
MaterialApp(theme: ThemeData(appBarTheme: AppBarTheme(backgroundColor: Colors.blueGrey),),);
You can use Flutter ThemeData,if you want to set a theme for your entire application:
class HomePage extends StatelessWidget {
// This widget is the root of your application.
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return MaterialApp(
title: 'MyApp',
theme: ThemeData(
primarySwatch: Colors.blue,
),
home: MyHomePage(title: 'MyApp',),
);
}
}....
Then if you want to change certain elements of your primary and secondary colors,you can achieve this using the colorScheme from Swatch.
Learn More Here
Here is an example using colorScheme :
class HomePage extends StatelessWidget {
// This widget is the root of your application.
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return MaterialApp(
title: 'MyApp',
theme: ThemeData(
colorScheme: ColorScheme.fromSwatch(
primarySwatch: Colors.blue,//the color of your Appbar will be blue
).copyWith(
secondary: Colors.green,
//your accent color-floating action will appear green
),
),
home: MyHomePage(title: 'MyApp',),
);
Since flutter 2.5+, the working solution will be simply use ColorScheme in ThemeData:
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
void main() => runApp(const MyApp());
class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
const MyApp({Key? key}) : super(key: key);
static const String _title = 'Flutter Code Sample';
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return MaterialApp(
title: _title,
home: const AppBarWidget(),
theme: ThemeData.light().copyWith(
colorScheme: ColorScheme.fromSwatch().copyWith(
// change the appbar color
primary: Colors.green[800],
),
),
);
}
}
class AppBarWidget extends StatelessWidget {
const AppBarWidget({Key? key}) : super(key: key);
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return Scaffold(
appBar: AppBar(
title: const Text('AppBar'),
),
);

If you are using material 3. you have to take care of tint and forground color also.
Scaffold(
appBar: AppBar(
backgroundColor: Colors.white //your color,
surfaceTintColor: Colors.white // for material 3 you have to make it transparent,
)
For the background color, you can use backgroundColor property, for the text color you can apply a style.
Example:
class MyHomePage extends StatelessWidget {
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return Scaffold(
appBar: AppBar(
title: const Text('Jorgesys', style: TextStyle(color: Colors.cyanAccent),),
backgroundColor: Colors.green, //App Bar background color.
),
body: Column(

How to change colour scroll-overflow indicators?

When the user scrolls to the edge of a list or TabView, an animated blue circle appears on the ending edge.
What is this called, and how do I change the colour of it?
This is the android scroll physics (ClampingScrollPhysics).
From the source code and docs:
glow color is specified to use [ThemeData.accentColor].
That been said, when you create your App, the best practice is to specify a custom theme, istead of appling colors manually.
Example:
class App extends StatelessWidget {
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return MaterialApp(
title: 'My App',
theme: ThemeData(
brightness: Brightness.light,
primarySwatch: Colors.grey,
primaryColor: Colors.grey[50],
primaryColorBrightness: Brightness.light,
//this is what you want
accentColor: Colors.orangeAccent[400],
accentColorBrightness: Brightness.light,
),
home: Home(),
);
}
}
I like to use this tool to define the primary and secondary (called accent color in flutter) and having a preview of the widgets.
Note: On IOs the physics is different, letting the user scroll beyond the bounds of the content, but then bounce the content back to the edge of those bounds (BouncingScrollPhysics).
Since Flutter v2.3.0-0.1.pre, themes changed
https://api.flutter.dev/flutter/material/ThemeData/accentColor.html
For setting the accent color, you must do something like
class Themes {
static final light = ThemeData(
// Colors
backgroundColor: Colors.white,
primaryColor: MyColors.blue,
splashColor: MyColors.blue,
cardColor: MyColors.blue,
hoverColor: MyColors.blue,
highlightColor: MyColors.blue,
colorScheme: ColorScheme.light(primary: MyColors.blue),
// Fonts
fontFamily: 'Inter');
static final lightV2 = light.copyWith(
colorScheme: light.colorScheme.copyWith(secondary: MyColors.blue));
}
And assign ligthV2 in your MaterialApp
MaterialApp(
...
theme: Themes.lightV2
...
)
