Mui Createtheme Is Not Properly Passing Theme To Mui Components

I have created a theme in the index of my React.JS project using MUI. When I try to apply my style to my Appbar the theme does not correctly modify the menu button nor the menu its

Solution 1:

Change this line:

import { ThemeProvider } from"@mui/styles";

To:

import { ThemeProvider } from"@mui/material/styles";

Reason: There are 2 ThemeProviders here

• The one from @mui/styles: This ThemeProvider does send the Theme object down via context, it works fine, you can still access it using the useTheme hook:

const theme = useTheme();

return<Boxsx={{width:10, height:10, bgcolor:theme.palette.primary.main }} />

• The one from @mui/material/styles: This ThemeProvider is a wrapper of the above, but it also injects the theme to the StyledEngineThemeContext.Provider, which allows you to access the theme when using MUI API (sx prop/styled()). The problem here is that the Button and Menu components uses the styled() API under-the-hood so the ThemeProvider needs to be imported from @mui/material/styles to make it work.

return<Boxsx={{width:10, height:10, bgcolor: 'primary.main' }} />
