Topic: SMART capabilities context-banner and context-style

Can anyone clarify how these capabilities are supposed to work? What it requires to be implemented on OAUth/OIDC server?
http://www.hl7.org/fhir/smart-app-launch/conformance/index.html#launch-context
While reading about context-banner, it seemed similar to the launch criteria requiring to put "patient" (based on launch token or during patient selection process in the widget) in access token response. Is that a correct understanding? Does it mean anything different? Any other links elaborating on these 2 capabilities would be helpful. Thank you!

These parameters are only relevant when embedding a SMART app in the context of a surrounding frame (e.g., an EHR or patient portal).

In that context, they provide rendering/style hints to the app (e.g., to help match colors or fonts with the surrounding EHR environment)

Makes sense now. Thanks!

I believe ONC's Cures Act mandates these capabilities for the EHR to implement?
Josh Mandel (Dec 11 2020 at 03:54):
Yeah.

Though it's easy enough to support in a trivial way if you're not actually interested in embedding apps within a surrounding frame.
