## Generating a custom color palette and export as DSP file
## Generating a custom color palette and exporting it as a JSON file

3. Save the zip file to your computer.
4. Replace the file `ColorPaletteOverride.zip` in the `Styles` folder of your application project with the one you just downloaded.
5. Build your application. The `ColorPaletteOverride.xaml` file will be automatically updated with the colors present in the DSP zip file.

## More flexibility

This will generate the file at each build, potentially overriding any changes you made to the file. If you want to keep it that way, you can simply remove the `ColorPaletteOverride.zip` file from the `Styles` folder, the file won't get overwritten anymore.

Alternatively, you can also use the [Uno.Dsp.Cli](https://nuget.org/packages/Uno.Dsp.Cli) package to generate the file from the command line. This will allow you to generate the file only when you want to, and not at each build.

> [!NOTE]
> Although the **Material Theme Builder Tool** doesn't export **Material Tokens (DSP)** packages anymore, the Uno Figma Plugin still supports this file format.
> To be able to import DSP packages just follow the same steps described previously and save the downloaded DSP zip file as `ColorPaletteOverride.zip` in the `Styles` folder of your application project.
> In that case, make sure to delete the `material-theme.json` file from `Styles` folder before building your application, to avoid conflicts.
