Selecting your OpenUI theme can be done through the usual mechanism by setting it in the User Preferences – Behavior view. As added feature you can now globally set it on object manager level too. Under many circumstances this makes sense because often customers will not give their end users the flexibility to select another theme.
Although it would have been nice if theme defaulting could have been realized using Manifest Expressions. Unfortunately that seems a step to far for now.
But there is a (less flexible) solution: a new component parameter “DefaultNavigation” has been introduced as part of IP14. It it seeded with “NAVIGATION_SIDE”.
Values can be any of the Language Independant Code values “NAVIGATION_SIDE”, “NAVIGATION_TAB” and “NAVIGATION_TAB” (or a custom theme you added of course). These LOV values belong to Type = “NavCtrlPR”
Next it would be nice if we could also default the transition at the object manager level ;-)
