Configuring the Polaris UI themes

[Mark251]

I am trying to configure the Polaris themes and am having an
I have created a new theme with 2 variants and set the following system properties
glide.ui.polaris.theme.custom --> To point to my custom theme
glide.ui.polaris.theme.variant -> To point to the default variant
The Theme is configured like attached.
The issue is that when I select what Theme to configure, the default one is still there.
I wish to disable the default so the user only can select from the 2 I provide. I am happy to make one of mine the default but do not know how

Setting the same theme for all users in an instance.

1. Go to the 'Filter' menu located in the top left corner of the screen, enter 'sys_user_preference.list
2. Click on New

8. Submit

Hi Aman

Thank you for the quick reply however I am not working with the UI16 interface, I am configuring the "Next Experience Polaris" interface that is new with San Diego.

In this "Polaris" UI I have set the default as detailed in my original post however IU want to remove the option for the users to select the "Default" theme when they go to their preferences.

Hi Mark, check your instance version. You need at least San Diego Patch 1, which includes a fix for PRB1556654, which prevents the default theme from being overridden. (I experienced the same issue in my PDI which only had Patch 0 Hotfix 1.)
