A modern app isn’t just about functionality — it’s also about visual consistency, branding, and personalization. If your Flutter app connects to a WordPress backend, imagine being able to change the app’s theme (light/dark mode, accent colors, or fonts) without pushing a new app update.

That’s exactly what you can achieve with dynamic theme switching powered by WordPress.

Why Dynamic Theme Switching Matters

• Centralized design control: Update app styles from WordPress without republishing the app.

• Sync with WordPress theme settings: Maintain consistency across your website and mobile app.

• White-label solutions: Easily apply brand-specific colors for different clients or user groups.

• Real-time customization: Enable admin-defined color schemes or dark mode preferences.

How It Works (Conceptually)

1. Define Design Settings in WordPress
   Store theme-related values (e.g., primary color, logo URL, font preferences) as:

   • ACF (Advanced Custom Fields) options

   • Custom post types or theme settings

   • JSON configuration files or a custom REST endpoint

2. Expose Settings via REST API
   Use WordPress REST API or a custom endpoint to return the app’s design configuration.

3. Fetch Settings in Flutter at Runtime
   When the app launches, Flutter fetches the theme config and updates the UI accordingly.

4. Apply Theme Dynamically
   Use Flutter’s ThemeData to apply styles based on the fetched values (e.g., colors, brightness, text styles).

What You Can Customize Dynamically

• Primary / secondary colors

• Font family and sizes

• App bar / button / card styles

• Light or dark mode preference

• Images like logo, background, etc.

• Spacing, padding, or border radius values

Sample Use Cases

• Multi-brand platform: Each WordPress site defines its own app appearance.

• Client dashboards: Load white-labeled styles based on user roles or companies.

• A/B Testing: Experiment with color palettes or layout adjustments remotely.

• Custom dark mode logic: Let admins enable/disable dark mode via a toggle in WordPress.

Benefits of WordPress-Controlled Theming

• Real-time UI updates

• Consistency across platforms

• No need to modify native code or resubmit to app stores

• Built-in CMS for design changes
