Flutter is a versatile platform that allows developers to create beautiful and functional applications for both Android and iOS platforms. One of the great features of Flutter is its ability to allow for customization of the app’s theme, which includes fonts, colors, and overall style. To change the theme dynamically in Flutter, developers can use the dependency ‘adaptive_theme’. In this article, we will explore the use of adaptive_theme to change the theme of an app in Flutter.

What is adaptive_theme?

Adaptive_theme is a dependency package that allows developers to create a theme that adapts to the platform’s current theme mode.

dependencies:
adaptive_theme: ^1.0.0
