The Oracle APEX Ideas Portal (apexapps.oracle.com/pls/apex/r/apex_pm/ideas) showcases a polished, modern UI theme that is visually distinct from the standard Universal Theme shipped with APEX. It features clean card-based layouts, refined typography, contemporary color schemes, and a professional look that represents Oracle's own design standards at their best.

The Problem: APEX developers currently have no access to this theme for their own applications. When creating apps through APEX, they are limited to Universal Theme and its built-in styles. To achieve a similar look, developers must invest significant time in custom CSS overrides and template modifications — an effort that contradicts APEX's low-code philosophy.

Proposed Enhancement:

• Package and ship the theme used in the Oracle APEX Ideas Portal (and similar Oracle-built APEX showcase applications) as a selectable built-in theme within APEX Theme Roller or Theme Styles.
• Alternatively, make it available as a downloadable "Showcase Theme" in the APEX Sample Apps or the App Gallery, installable via the APEX Builder with one click.
• Include all associated page templates, region templates, report templates, and list templates so developers can immediately adopt the complete design language.

Business Value: Oracle uses this theme to represent its own products publicly — making it available to customers would allow APEX-built enterprise applications to achieve the same level of visual quality, strengthen APEX's reputation as a professional-grade UI platform, and reduce the effort needed to deliver beautiful, modern user experiences.
