Progress ThemeBuilder 2025 Q2では、AIを活用したテーマ生成が追加され、簡単なプロンプトから数秒で独自のテーマを作成可能

Progress ThemeBuilder by Telerik is a comprehensive visual design tool that accelerates user interface customization for Telerik and Kendo UI web components. ThemeBuilder enables you to style virtually every appearance-related property of the UI components, from top-level elements to the smallest of details, without requiring direct CSS manipulation. It integrates seamlessly with existing development workflows and allows developers to create, modify, and maintain consistent and visually appealing themes across applications. This tool significantly reduces the time and effort required for UI customization and makes it easy to align them with branding and design specifications.

The Progress ThemeBuilder 2025 Q2 update introduces AI-powered theme generation, allowing developers to produce fully cohesive design themes through natural language prompts. Instead of manually configuring color palettes, typography, and layout settings, developers can specify brand requirements or stylistic preferences in plain text, and the AI generates the corresponding theme assets, reducing development time and minimizing inconsistency across components. Generated themes integrate directly with existing ThemeBuilder workflows, ensuring immediate compatibility with styling APIs and design tokens. This enhancement streamlines the process of adopting new design styles, enabling teams to focus on functionality while maintaining a unified visual identity.

Progress ThemeBuilder is licensed per user and is available as an annual license with a one year support subscription, which is available in three tiers: Lite, Priority or Ultimate. See our Progress ThemeBuilder licensing page for full details.

カラーパレット、タイポグラフィ、スペースを一元化することで、Web、モバイル、デスクトップ全体で一貫性のあるモダンなUIの外観を確保

Theming in UI suites involves managing an application’s look and feel by centralizing colors, fonts and spacing in one location so every button, form and page maintains a familiar, polished appearance. This approach ensures customers experience a consistent brand presence on web, mobile and desktop, enables instant rollout of style updates without searching through code and provides end users with convenient light, dark and high contrast modes. In practice, theming accelerates design releases, reduces repetitive work and fosters collaboration between design and engineering teams to deliver smooth, accessible, high performance interfaces .

Several ASP.NET Core UI suites offer theming controls including:

  • Nevron Vision for .NET lets you centralize custom themes across charts, gauges and UI controls for consistently branded .NET applications.
  • ComponentOne Studio ASP.NET MVC by MESCIUS allows you to define theme settings that propagate to grids, charts and widgets for unified styling.
  • Telerik UI for ASP.NET Core facilitates theme management, enabling developers to switch palettes, tweak component styles and maintain brand coherence.
  • DevExpress ASP.NET and Blazor allows for theme-driven styling, providing prebuilt customizable skins that unify the look of grids, charts and navigation elements.

ツールバーは、重要なコマンドをコンパクトでカスタマイズ可能なストリップに一元化し、生産性を向上させ、より直感的なユーザーエクスペリエンスを創造

A toolbar user interface component is a horizontal or vertical strip that contains a set of buttons, icons, dropdowns or menus designed to provide quick access to commonly used functions within a software application. These customizable toolbars streamline user interactions by grouping related tools in a consistent and easily accessible location, often near the top or side of the interface. Toolbars enhance productivity by minimizing the number of steps required to perform frequent tasks, improving efficiency, and reducing the need to navigate through deeper menu hierarchies. Such a component also contributes to a cleaner and more organized interface, helping users perform actions more intuitively and with fewer interruptions.

Several WPF user interface suites provide you with toolbars, including:

  • DevExpress WPF enables developers to build flexible, dockable toolbars that support runtime customization and command binding for dynamic user experiences.
  • ComponentOne Studio WPF by MESCIUS allows the design of tabbed and grouped toolbars with support for ribbon-style interfaces, making it easier to organize sets of commands.
  • Telerik UI for WPF provides a toolbar control featuring automatic overflow handling and a tray system, ensuring responsive layouts and customizable tool arrangements.
