Usage

To use it, wrap your main widget like so:

const kFuchsia = const Color(0xFF880E4F);
const kWhite = Colors.white;
const kLightGrey = const Color(0xFFE8E8E8);
const kDarkGrey = const Color(0xFF303030);

void main() => runApp(MyApp());

class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return DynamicColorTheme(
      data: (Color color, bool isDark) {
        return _buildTheme(color, isDark); // TODO define your own buildTheme method here
      },
      defaultColor: kFuchsia,
      defaultIsDark: false,
      themedWidgetBuilder: (BuildContext context, ThemeData theme) {
        return MaterialApp(
          home: MyHomePage(title: 'Dynamic Color Theme'),
          theme: theme,
          title: 'Flutter Demo',
        );
      },
    );
  }

  // Example buildTheme method
  ThemeData _buildTheme(Color accentColor, bool isDark) {
    final ThemeData base = isDark ? ThemeData.dark() : ThemeData.light();
    final Color primaryColor = isDark ? kDarkGrey : kWhite;

    return base.copyWith(
      accentColor: accentColor,
      accentTextTheme: _buildTextTheme(base.accentTextTheme, accentColor),
      cardColor: primaryColor,
      floatingActionButtonTheme: base.floatingActionButtonTheme.copyWith(
        backgroundColor: accentColor,
      ),
      iconTheme: base.iconTheme.copyWith(
        color: accentColor,
      ),
      primaryColor: primaryColor,
      primaryIconTheme: base.primaryIconTheme.copyWith(
        color: accentColor,
      ),
      primaryTextTheme: _buildTextTheme(base.primaryTextTheme, accentColor),
      scaffoldBackgroundColor: primaryColor,
      textSelectionTheme: _buildTextSelectionTheme(base.textSelectionTheme, accentColor, isDark),
      textTheme: _buildTextTheme(base.textTheme, accentColor),
    );
  }

  TextTheme _buildTextTheme(TextTheme base, Color color) {
    return base.copyWith(
      bodyText2: base.bodyText2.copyWith(
        fontSize: 16,
      ),
      bodyText1: base.bodyText1.copyWith(
        color: color,
        fontSize: 16,
        fontWeight: FontWeight.bold,
      ),
      button: base.button.copyWith(
        color: color,
      ),
      caption: base.caption.copyWith(
        color: color,
        fontSize: 14,
      ),
      headline5: base.headline5.copyWith(
        color: color,
        fontSize: 24,
      ),
      subtitle1: base.subtitle1.copyWith(
        color: color,
        fontSize: 18,
      ),
      headline6: base.headline6.copyWith(
        color: color,
        fontSize: 20,
        fontWeight: FontWeight.bold,
      ),
    );
  }

  TextSelectionThemeData _buildTextSelectionTheme(TextSelectionThemeData base, Color accentColor, bool isDark) {
    return base.copyWith(
      cursorColor: accentColor,
      selectionColor: isDark ? kDarkGrey : kLightGrey,
      selectionHandleColor: accentColor,
    );
  }
}

You can change the theme yourself by utilizing the provided functions as shown below.

void changeColor(Color newColor) {
  DynamicColorTheme.of(context).setColor(
    color: newColor,
    shouldSave: true, // saves it to shared preferences
  );
}

void changeIsDark(bool isDark) {
  DynamicColorTheme.of(context).setIsDark(
    isDark: isDark,
    shouldSave: true, // saves it to shared preferences
  );
}

void resetTheme() {
  DynamicColorTheme.of(context).resetToSharedPrefsValues();
}

Dialog Widget

Alternatively, a color picker dialog widget is included that will do this for you. Use it like so:

// With the barrier dismissible

showDialog(
  barrierDismissible: false,
  builder: (BuildContext context) {
    return ColorPickerDialog(
      defaultColor: kFuchsia,
      defaultIsDark: false,
    );
  },
  context: context,
);

// Without the barrier dismissible

showDialog(
  builder: (BuildContext context) {
    return WillPopScope(
      child: ColorPickerDialog(
        defaultColor: kFuchsia,
        defaultIsDark: false,
      ),
      onWillPop: () async {
        // Handles resetting if user taps off dialog
        DynamicColorTheme.of(context).resetToSharedPrefsValues();
        return true;
      },
    );
  },
  context: context,
);
