Theming

This package also provides additional customization. By default, the iOS 16 theme is used, but it is also possible to override defaults with widget properties (see above) or with PullDownButtonTheme theme extension.

Light Theme	Dark Theme

PullDownButtonTheme

To use PullDownButtonTheme define it in your ThemeData as follows:

ThemeData(
  ...,
  extensions: [
    PullDownButtonTheme(
      routeTheme: PullDownMenuRouteTheme(
        backgroundColor: Colors.grey,
      ),
      itemTheme: PullDownMenuItemTheme(
        destructiveColor: Colors.red,
      ),
      dividerTheme: PullDownMenuDividerTheme(
        dividerColor: Colors.black,
      ),
    ),
  ],
),

PullDownButtonTheme uses a set of sub-themes (for items, dividers, the menu itself, etc.) to define the needed theme. See below for every property each sub-theme provides.

PullDownButtonTheme

Properties	Description
routeTheme	Menu container theme (PullDownMenuRouteTheme).
itemTheme	PullDownMenuItem theme (PullDownMenuItemTheme).
dividerTheme	PullDownMenuDivider theme (PullDownMenuDividerTheme).
titleTheme	PullDownMenuTitle theme (PullDownMenuTitleTheme).

PullDownMenuRouteTheme

Properties	Description
backgroundColor	The background color of the pull-down menu.
borderRadius	The border radius of the pull-down menu.
shadow	The pull-down menu shadow.
width	Pull-down menu width.
accessibilityWidth	Pull-down menu accessibility width.

backgroundColor usually has opacity in the range of 0.7-0.8 so that menu has a blur effect. If backgroundColor is fully opaque (opacity set to 1), no blur effect will be applied.

PullDownMenuItemTheme

Properties	Description
destructiveColor	Color for destructive action.
checkmark	Checkmark icon.
textStyle	PullDownMenuItem text style.
subtitleStyle	PullDownMenuItem subtitle text style.
iconActionTextStyle	PullDownMenuItem text style inside of PullDownMenuActionsRow.
onHoverBackgroundColor	On hover color of PullDownMenuItem.
onPressedBackgroundColor	On pressed color of PullDownMenuItem.
onHoverTextColor	On hover color of text of PullDownMenuItem.

Properties	Description
dividerColor	Small divider color.
largeDividerColor	Large divider color.

largeDividerColor is usually lighter than dividerColor.

PullDownMenuTitleTheme

Properties	Description
style	PullDownMenuTitle text style.

PullDownButtonInheritedTheme

If defining PullDownButtonTheme in ThemeData is not possible, for example, if you are using CupertinoApp, you can use PullDownButtonInheritedTheme:

CupertinoApp(
  builder: (context, child) => PullDownButtonInheritedTheme(
    data: const PullDownButtonTheme(
      ...
    ),
    child: child!,
  ),
  home: ...,
),
