And if you're really clever; you define your fonts, sizes, colors etc in the App onload property and just use variable names in all your components. That way you can reuse the values throughout you app and adjust them all in one place.
Hi April, this is another brilliant video, (one to add to my collection); its great how you help us all to learn new ways to enhance our PowerApps, thanks.
Hi April nice video! Short and simple and best of all easy to follow. thanks, do you have a link to view that upcoming dates feature yous showed at the end in the desk reservation
Hi April, great video, thank you! We do have to change each element in the Forms control, right? It's not like in the Gallery that when we change the first element then all the rest take those changes, correct?
You are missing one VERY nice to know thing: you can define MULTIPLE fonts. Usually I use a company font but I also define a fallback for computers not having the fonts installed. Just write it like this: Label.Font: „Company Font, Segoe UI, Verdana, sans-serif“. That‘s just like in CSS. This goes from left to right, so if the first font is not found, the next font is used. If no fonts are found, it falls back to the default sans-serif font in my example. Nevertheless, thank you for your work once again! I wish designing Power Apps would be more fun. As a Adobe XD user this always hurts a lot.
Thanks April for the tips. Those combo boxes are really really boxy and can really mess up a design when you need to add filter functionality. Have you encountered a similar issue?
I really like and appreciate your videos! One question: this has always been annoying for me re the look of date/calendar and dropdown fields. They do not have a border radius setting. Do you know of a way to round these corners (other than creating additional box with radius and copying the data in that item)?
This is time consuming and not sustainable for a large enterprise with many app builders inheriting apps built by others. Instead, there should be a Centrally Managed Theme that OVERRIDES the default theme.
I mention in countless videos that I do about design and branding that themes are the best option for larger applications. There's nothing wrong with showing that there is multiple ways to do things in Power Apps. I always reference the theming engine and app that Sancho built as an option for reusability and scale.
Sadly no matter what you do - Powerapps still looks like it was designed in a primary school by 11 year olds - it's just clunky and awful UX. Why cant you have rounded corners on all of the controls? Why hasn't Microsoft fixed bugs that were reported back in 2018 and are still bugs today? Where are the basic sets of UI controls that 'should' be in every low-code platform. In my experience, Powerapps is not at all low code for anything but the very basic of applications. There are way better real low-code platforms out there - (at lower cost) than Microsoft. Microsoft need to seriously up their game - this is a poor platform

Exactly! I've been using this approach for years :)
@@AprilDunnam do you have a video on this concept?
Share an "on load" script example, please.
Wow. Your videos are just fabulous. I love how clear, direct, and concise you are with your instruction.
Thanks so much Emily, I'm glad that you like them!
Thanks you so much April for sharing this video. 👍
You are so welcome!
Nicely done. Looking forward to watching more of your tutorials. Thanks.
Thank you. More to come!
Thanks April., it's not just the application; the UI matters too. This is a good show case. Apprecaite your efforts for your fans
Totally agree! Thank you for watching!
As always with your videos, I learned 2 new things today 😁
Happy to hear that!
✨I love this! The UI/UX can make or break any app's adoption. Thank you for showing me how to bring branding into Power Apps! 🌟
So glad you enjoyed the tips in this video. Thanks for watching Sue!
Thanks April... Some great UI tips there..
You're so welcome!

Thank you!!
Great job April…Thanks
Thank you!
Hi April thanks for this. Is it possible to set such changes as defaults for an app?
You are missing one VERY nice to know thing: you can define MULTIPLE fonts. Usually I use a company font but I also define a fallback for computers not having the fonts installed. Just write it like this:
Label.Font: „Company Font, Segoe UI, Verdana, sans-serif“.
That‘s just like in CSS. This goes from left to right, so if the first font is not found, the next font is used. If no fonts are found, it falls back to the default sans-serif font in my example.

Thanks April for the tips. Those combo boxes are really really boxy and can really mess up a design when you need to add filter functionality. Have you encountered a similar issue?
Is there a way to create a formula for the InputTextPlaceholder that will add the text for the specific label above?
Thanks April excellent
Glad you liked it!
Thanks, April!
You're welcome Andrew. Thanks for watching!
radius on text works great, dropdowns not yet. I usually end up using radio buttons if the list isn't more than 3
Yep I'm a big fan of using galleries for dropdowns myself if there aren't many items
Great video! I rarely use the default settings.
Thanks Michael!
