Drupal 7 Creating Full Page Custom Module

Question

I want to create a full page, custom module. By this, I mean a module that is not wrapped into the main Drupal sites them. Here is my code:

myapp.module:

function myapp_menu() 
{
 $result = array();
 $result['myapp/home'] = array(
  'title' => 'My App Title', // Title of our page
  'description'=> 'My App Web Site', // Description of our page
  'page callback' => 'myapp_function', 
  'access arguments' => array('access content'), // permission to access this page
  'type' => MENU_NORMAL_ITEM, // type of menu item
 );

 return $result;
}

function myapp_function(){      
  return theme('my_custom_template');
}       

function myapp_theme(){
  return array(
    'my_custom_template' => array(          
      'template' => 'myapp-page',
    ),
  );
}

myapp-page.tpl.php

Hello World

The problem is that, when the page is displayed, it is still kept within the main Drupal Sites main theme. I would like to make this page its own, full page, site. Can anyone help with doing this?

thanks

You can hack like this :

function myapp_function(){      
  print theme('my_custom_template');
  exit;
}

Also you can use declaration options listed in https://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/modules%21system%21system.api.php/function/hook_theme/7.x

Parameters

array $existing: An array of existing implementations that may be used for override purposes. This is primarily useful for themes that may wish to examine existing implementations to extract data (such as arguments) so that it may properly register its own, higher priority implementations.

$type: Whether a theme, module, etc. is being processed. This is primarily useful so that themes tell if they are the actual theme being called or a parent theme. May be one of:

'module': A module is being checked for theme implementations. 'base_theme_engine': A theme engine is being checked for a theme that is a parent of the actual theme being used. 'theme_engine': A theme engine is being checked for the actual theme being used. 'base_theme': A base theme is being checked for theme implementations. 'theme': The actual theme in use is being checked. $theme: The actual name of theme, module, etc. that is being being processed.

$path: The directory path of the theme or module, so that it doesn't need to be looked up.
