Right now the dApps hup and the products we have focus and are heavily themed and their color pallets are based on Astar.

I think an improvement for this is to change the theme/colors and logo when changing the network to shiden.

We want to have it more adventurous and in your face when using shiden when compared to Astar. We can even try awesome UI stuff on shiden, things that might not be the best to roll out directly to Astar.

TL:DR;  
when changing the network to shiden in the app the color and logo should change to fit shiden more.

It shouldn’t be much work for developers, and I think it’s something easy, yet effective.

Leave your thoughts 💭 everyone and let me know if you support this.

Thank you for your feedback. This is what I also think of. It would be helpful if you could make this issue on github page [GitHub - PlasmNetwork/astar-apps: The official Astar Network portal for accessing your tokens and other native features!](https://github.com/PlasmNetwork/astar-apps)

And wanna heard @hoonkim @willpark @bobo 's opinions.

Overall, it’s a good idea. but we need check if the component is coupled with specific color as inner css stuff. For further development, you can add a feature issue for changing theme color.

Will do, hopefully it’s a quick but you might need to use some javascript to get the color/logo switching working. Will post this on the github as it seems everyone finds it a good idea.

Done ✅.

> \*\*Motivation\*\*
> Shiden needs its own identity, it’s own feel and vibe. It’s bett…er for making it easier for User interaction with the store as it makes it less confusing when switching to Shiden network changes the actual style of the visuals. The community agrees with this, and this has been posted as a proposal on the forum. Our project leader Sota seems to approve and support this approach.

> \*\*Suggested Solution\*\*
> 
> \- change pallet colors/theme when choosing Shiden network on the dApp Store. 
> \- change the logo to Shiden when detecting change in network to Shiden Network. 
> 
> \*\*Alternatives\*\*
> \- no need to make a new theme, you can instead use the current dark theme already implemented, and change just the logo. So changing the network to Shiden will make it change to current DarkTheme we have and the only thing needed then is changing the logo.

> \*\*Additional information\*\*
> Good luck, and for the developers I trust you will achieve far more than what you think you can. You are building the future. 🤞
