Assigning a Theme to a Page

However, the developer may wish to define a specific theme on a particular page to enforce branding or associate a color with functionality. Taking a Northwind sample app as an example, you may wish to have the Membership page display “Dark” theme, have Products page use “Plastic” theme, and have Customers page use “Summer” theme.

The Membership, Customrs, and Products pages using the themes Dark, Summer, and Plastic, respectively.
