Hi Colleagues,
How to customize theme such that changing the colors of the icon tab bar via SAP UI Theme Designer? I simply do not see the UI5 control Icon Tab bar in the list underSAP UI Theme Designer.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
Request clarification before answering.
tl;dr: a) use an application preview with your own URL; b) use a preview that accidentally contains tabs (e.g. "Object Header" or "Shell"); c) a dedicated "Tab" preview is in development.
Hi @aditi01!
In the past, the IconTabBar was a bit of a poor cousin, in that there were no parameters dedicated to tab bars. Only mid December '24 we added the sapTab_ namespace with parameters for tab bars. To my knowledge, these are not yet consumed by any tab-like control of any UI technology. And as we try to have one preview per namespace, and only if parameters are actually used in that preview, we do not yet have a preview for tabs. We'll build one as soon as the IconTabBar uses the new parameters.
We do however have previews that contain tab-like controls: "Object Header" and "Shell" from the "SAPUI5 Controls" preview collection, as well as "Launchpad", "List Report", "Object Page" and "Worklist" from "SAPUI5 Applications". While they might not be ideal and won't showcase IconTabBars in all their glory, you should at least get a glimpse of what your theme does to IconTabBars.
Last but not least, you can always add your own application preview with just a URL. For SAPUI5, this application has to be hosted under the same origin as the theme designer – e.g. on CF behind the same approuter, on ABAP in the same system. If you were able to proxy the sap.m.IconTabBar samples on the same origin, you could register that as an application preview and draw on abundant resources.
Let me know if that works for you.
Best
