The term ‘Get-UDTheme’ is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet
My setup is a Win2019Core and UD from zip actually running as a service.
It seems that this cmdlet is not present (only New-UDNivoTheme) :
Get-Command -Module Universal,UniversalDashboard,UniversalDashboardServer | where{$_.Name -like “Them”}
CommandType Name Version Source
----------- ---- ------- ------
Function New-UDNivoTheme 2.9.0 UniversalDashboard
Thank you for your reply.
I’ve not install the module Install-Module UniversalDashboard -AcceptLicense or Install-Module UniversalDashboard.Community -AcceptLicense
I have unzipped the version v.1.2.9 and launch the service after register it.
I’ve search for available module after loading the .psd1 files in the folder where i extracted the zip file : D:\data\Universal\www
https://docs.ironmansoftware.com/dashboard/dashboard-frameworks
This might shed light on your problem. There are two frameworks built into Universal. V2 & V3.
When you create a new dashboard in universal, you should have a ‘framework’ option to choose either one. If the dashboard is running with V3 this would explain why you’re getting the error you have.
The dashboard cmdlets are in C:\ProgramData\PowerShellUniversal\Dashboard\Frameworks
You can import the module from there.
When you import Universal, make sure to do it at the global scope and do import it before the framework.
Import-Module "C:\Program Files (x86)\Universal\Universal.psd1" -Scope Global
I unzip sources like advised on a specific directory.
In my case, they are located here : D:\data\Universal\www\PowerShellUniversal\Dashboard\Frameworks
So, if i refer to the web admin interface :
frameworks are loaded from D:\data\Universal\PowerShellUniversal\Dashboard\Frameworks\UniversalDashboard\
the current framework used by the dahsboard is UniversalDashboard (3.0.0-beta7).

Cmdlet New-UDTheme 2.9.0 UniversalDashboard
I don’t understand why is the version 2.9.0 is showned …
Here are somes logs if you’ve got and idea :

If you want to import the 2.9.1 or 3 module you’d use: “C:\ProgramData\PowerShellUniversal\Dashboard\Frameworks\UniversalDashboard\2.9.1-beta1\UniversalDashboard.psd1” or whatever is relative to how it’s been installed and relative to the framework you desire.
If you intend to use get-udtheme then you’ll need to make sure your dashboard is using the correct framework - or just update your code to the v3 mechanism.
I cant give you a definitive answer I’m afraid, maybe someone else can.
I was under the impression themeing had changed and therfore it had been removed, but then again maybe it is in v3, I’m probably out of my depth on this one as I’ve not really had the chance to play around with v3 that much to be familar with it, I do know its still in beta though and there maybe things still being ironed out. I’ve heard some people in this forum are using it and saying its much easier/better to use than v2, although everything I’ve done upto this point has been pretty much in v2, I’ve only started dipping my foot into the universal waters and thinking about testing/switching to v3
Personally I think there’s still a lot of gaps in the documentation with v3, still in beta - there are many changes to the v2 framework to get it to work with universal also (see migrating), hence why both the frameworks v2 and v3 bundled with universal are both beta.
If you’re a beginner and you want to get off the ground quickly, I’d look at using V2.9.0 universal dashboard module from the ps gallery first, the documentation is pretty comprehensive and I’ve not had any issues with it: https://docs.universaldashboard.io/
The caveat to that is that when universal & v3 comes along in a more polished version, you may have some work to migrate your dashboards in order to get them fully working under the new platform.
v3 doesn’t have any built in themes besides the default one and that’s why Get-UDTheme doesn’t exist in v3. It’s certainly something we can add back to get some of the default v2 look and feels added back.
