# VeeCode Developer Hub Theme 🎨

A set of theming options for [MUI Material UI](https://mui.com/material-ui/) and
[Backstage](https://backstage.io/) that look more similar to [PatternFly](https://www.patternfly.org/).

It also includes a [Storybook](https://storybook.js.org/) and
a [Storybook test-runner](https://github.com/storybookjs/test-runner) for automatic visual regression tests.

## API

Returns all testable themes (incl. the backstage default color scheme and older RHDH versions):

- `getAllThemes: () => AppTheme[]`
- `useAllThemes: () => AppTheme[]`

Returns the latest, not released RHDH light and dark theme for your backstage/RHDH instance:

- `getThemes: () => AppTheme[]`
- `useThemes: () => AppTheme[]`
- `useLoaderTheme: () => MUIv5.Theme`
