hi @rockstar234, 

For guidance on creating and using themes for Core Component Adaptive Forms, please refer to the following official Adobe documentation and video tutorials:

Official Adobe Experience Manager Documentation

Helpful YouTube Video Guides

These resources cover the step-by-step process of cloning and customizing base themes like the Canvas theme, registering and deploying themes in your AEM environment (both local and cloud), and selecting/applying themes in the authoring interface of Adaptive Forms.

If your custom theme does not appear when creating adaptive forms, please ensure the theme client library is correctly deployed and accessible with appropriate permissions in your AEM instance.

Check that your theme’s client library folder /ui.apps/src/main/content/jcr_root/apps/[AEM Project Folder]/clientlibs/<yourtheme> has the correct properties with "formstheme" property set to true. Example snippet:

formsTheme:true allowProxy:true

Source: here

 

@giuseppebaglio properties are present and true. I am using AEM as a cloud but see how to push those theme on AEM DS localhost.

Hello @rockstar234 ,

 

your custom Adaptive Form theme must be packaged as an AEM clientlib (category adaptiveform.theme.<your-name>), deployed on the Author instance (and published to Publish), and then selected from the Adaptive Form creation / form properties. If you only see Canvas, it means your custom theme clientlib isn’t deployed/registered correctly (or you didn’t create it from the theme sources).
