A visually appealing user interface in Dynamics 365 can enhance user adoption and productivity. Traditionally, Dynamics 365 offered theming through the classic Themes feature, which Microsoft updated with Modern Theme Overrides for model-driven apps. This new theming approach allows customization of app appearance—such as colors, header styling, fonts, and logos—through XML configuration linked to the Custom Theme Definition setting in Power Apps. Modern Theme Overrides offer a distinct experience for the refreshed Dynamics 365 UI as opposed to the classic theming approach, thus enabling organizations to apply corporate branding, improve user experience, and distinguish between different environments like Development, UAT, and Production. They ensure a consistent application experience without relying on unsupported CSS or JavaScript modifications, serving as a modern replacement for classic theming methods.
