Can you change flutter text theme?

Question

If the theme is set in main.dart as

return MaterialApp(
  title: 'MY APP',
  theme: ThemeData(
    primarySwatch: Colors.blue,
    fontFamily: 'Cabin',
    textTheme: TextTheme(
      headline1: TextStyle(
        fontFamily: 'Raleway',
        color: Colors.black,
        fontWeight: FontWeight.w600,
        fontSize: 18,
      ),
      subtitle1: TextStyle(
        fontFamily: 'Raleway',
        color: Colors.black54,
        fontWeight: FontWeight.w600,
        fontSize: 16,
      ),
    ),
  ),

and I'm using the theme as

Text('MY STRING',
    style: Theme.of(context).textTheme.subtitle1),

How can I make 'MY STRING' be a different color then the subtitle1 theme color while keeping the other properties of theme data, such as font weight and family and size, etc.?

Solution

You can use de method copyWith(color: your_color) to change properties of a TextTheme.

Example:

Text('MY STRING',
  style: Theme.of(context).textTheme.subtitle1
    .copyWith(color: Colors.red),
)
