What are all the css style classes that has to be changed to restyle dojo filtering select ?
Note: I am using claro theme.
I want to
1.Set the style for one particular filteringselect with id QuickSearchPane_SelectBox
2.Set the style for all other filteringselect
I found a few like:
.claro .dijitTextBox .dijitInputInner
.claro .dijitInputField .dijitPlaceHolder
.claro .dijitSelect
But these are not giving the desired effect. I am not even able to change the background colors.
For Menu
[dijitpopupparent="QuickSearchPane_SelectBox"] > .dijitComboBoxMenu .dijitMenuItem
This seems to work.
You can use the following CSS class to start styling your dijit/form/FilteringSelect;
This example will style all instance of dijit/form/FilteringSelect:
https://jsfiddle.net/ofgcd24n/
.dijitInputInner {
background-color: green !important;
}
.dijitMenuItem {
background-color: orange;
}
This other example below will style only ONE instance of dijit/form/FilteringSelect, please note the use of Descendant combinator as selector (where you use the ID for your widget DOM):
#widget_stateSelect .dijitInputInner {
/* your style*/
}
Generally you can use (in Chrome Dev Tool) Event Listen Breakpoints for click/mouse down, so when you open you FilteringSelect, you can block execution, and check with the inspector its HTML structure and see additional CSS classes you want to override with your styles.

If you need more details, please post your HTML and CSS and desired layout so we can work out a specific solution.

Given a typical Angular Material dialog, which has a max-width of 80vw set on .mat-dialog-container, how can I formulate a selector to override it? I'd like a true full-width dialog.
The problem is scoping--Angular-CLI compiles component CSS with scope attribute selectors.
Therefore, this:
.parent .child
becomes:
.parent[some_attr] .child[some_other_attr]
However, this particular element doesn't seem attached to any component--it doesn't have a dynamically-generated attribute on it.
I've attempted overrides in both the dialog stylesheet and the host component's stylesheet with no success.
Angular special selectors
Dialog Plunkr
Let me try again. I'm not doing a good job of explaining the issue.
Let's say I add this to my host component stylesheet:
.mat-dialog-container {
max-width: 100%;
}
I have a build watch running, so the app is recompiled. The CSS output is now this:
.mat-dialog-container[_ngcontent-c6] {
max-width: 100%;
}
However, that element doesn't actually have the attribute _ngcontent-c6 on it. That attribute is applied to other elements which are inside siblings of ancestors of .mat-dialog-container. The selector is just wrong.
If I add that CSS to the dialog component's stylesheet, something similar happens, but with a different attribute ID.
If you can add an id to your main body tag and you want it to be on all of these dialogs you can use this
<style>
#bodyID .mat-dialog-container {
max-width:100vw;
background-color: blue;
}
</style>
It will override the current style, at least in the plunker you supplied.
If you need specific style for each dialog, did you look into this?
how-to-style-child-components-from-parent-components-css-file
You don't need a body id, because as you've mentioned the selector is rewritten by Angular such that it stops matching the element altogether.
But yeah it seems the only way around this is to just throw your hands up and forget about component stylesheet scoping and add your CSS rule to the page stylesheet. The caveat, of course, is that this rule needs to be added to every page that uses the component, which can be seen as absurd depending on what your component is intended to be used for and by whom.
New to Polymer, and the docs seem a little 'light' on examples. I'm trying to style a dropdown menu so everything is white on a blueish background. Most things (tabs, toast, etc.) are working, but the dropdown-menu stubbornly refuses to show the little 'arrow' button in anything other than murky grey.
Example JSBin
The styling code is:
<style>
:host {
display: block;
/* Main vars */
--ki-teal: #4790A8;
--paper-tabs-selection-bar-color: #fff;
--paper-tab-ink: #fff;
/* Toolbar colours */
paper-toolbar.ki {
--paper-toolbar-background: var(--ki-teal);
}
/* Project select dropmenu colours */
paper-dropdown-menu-light.ki {
--paper-dropdown-menu-color: #fff;
--paper-dropdown-menu-focus-color: #fff;
--paper-dropdown-menu-button: {
color: #fff;
}
--paper-input-container-color: var(--ki-teal);
--paper-input-container-focus-color: #fff;
--paper-dropdown-menu-input: {
border-bottom: none;
};
}
/* Notifications */
#toastSave {
--paper-toast-background-color: var(--ki-teal);
--paper-toast-color: white;
}
}
</style>
But the --paper-dropdown-menu-button doesn't seem to have any effect, or I'm not using it right. Any guidance appreciated.
In addition, you'll see (at least on Chrome/Windows) that the underline bar when the dropdown has focus is not aligned properly with the active tab bar. I guess that's just a Polymer CSS glitch which will get worked out eventually, unless it's something I need to take care of in the <style> section as well?
Use --iron-icon-fill-color in your paper-dropdown-menu class if you want have other iron-icons also which you don't want to style, else you can style use it in host if you want.
Another way of doing it will be giving color to mixin --paper-dropdown-menu-icon. As per paper-dropdown-menu documentation it is
A mixin that is applied to the internal icon
Lastly, if you look at the code of paper-dropdown-menu-light you'll notice that icons have default value as --disabled-text-color. So, if you change this value that should do the trick for you. I'll recommend not to use this method as this is a default variable for material design theme and Polymer has used this as default value at lot of places. So, unless to know what you are doing avoid this method.
In Polymer if an element is using some other element internally you can always refer the style guide of internal element and use it directly. Like here we are using iron-icons styles to style the icon which is inside paper-dropdown-menu
I don't think Polymer has directly mentioned this in their styling guide but you can find this detail written at the end of styling details of paper-dropdown-menu and generalise it
You can also use any of the paper-input-container and paper-menu-button style mixins and custom properties to style the internal input and menu button respectively.
I was wondering how to override the encapsulated CSS of an external component.
So I am using material2 in my project and the tabs component has a the attribute overflow set on tab-body. Is it possible to override the overflow value?
You can use the special css /deep/ instruction. See the documentation
So, if you have
app
sub-component
target-component
<div class="target-class">...</div>
You can put in your apps css (or less):
/deep/ .target-class {
width: 20px;
background: #ff0000;
}
Obviously, you can put this css fragment in sub-component as well.
From this article
Although the style of a component is well isolated, it can still be easily overridden if necessary. For that, we just need to add an attribute to the body of the page:
<body override>
<app></app>
</body>
The name of the attribute can be anything. No value is needed and the name override makes it apparent what its being used for. To override component styles, we can then do the following:
[override] hello-world h1 {
color:red;
}
Where override is the attribute, hello-world is the target component, and h1 is whatever you are trying to restyle. (get this right or it wont work).
Your component hello-world would be
selector: 'hello-world',
styles: [`
h1 {
color: blue;
}
`],
template: ` <h1>Hello world</h1> `
I think this is the most elegant way.
Alternatively if you are building a library of some sort, you can reset the styling altogether by doing something fancy in your css like:
:host-context(.custom-styles) {
//.. css here will only apply when there is a css class custom-styles in any parent elem
}
So then to use your component you'd use
<hello-world class="custom-styles">
But this is way less convenient than the first option.
::ng-deep .tag-or-css-class-you-want-to-override {
/* Add your custom css property value. */
}
The syntax ::ng-deep is used to override outside css class or tags without using ViewEncapsulation.None.
I see variations of this question a lot and since this is the top question on the subject I want to give the simplest answer. ng-deep and similar functionality is deprecated, so it's best to just rely on vanilla CSS.
Simply create a CSS selector with a higher specificity.
Most people (including myself) get hung up trying to do that because they don't understand two things:
Angular View Encapsulation
CSS Specificity
Angular View Encapsulation
View Encapsulation ensures CSS within a component only affects that component. To affect other components, you need some global CSS. You can do this by using a global style file like styles.css or by disabling View Encapsulation on a component.
#Component({
...
encapsulation: ViewEncapsulation.None
})
CSS Specificity
When two selectors select the same element, the CSS that actually gets applied is based on specificity: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/Specificity
You can increase specificity by simply adding more elements to your CSS selector. For example p.className is more specific than just .className. If you're lazy, you can just repeat a class name to increase specificity. .className.className is more specific than .className.
So to override any CSS in an Angular project, go into styles.css and repeat the class selector until your CSS has a higher specificity than the original.
.className.className.className {
color: red;
}
Didn't work? Add another .className.
Just check the class that is being applied to the tabs by the external component (use Inspector or any other tool). In your style css file, add the same name of the class for the tabs and set the overflow property along with adding !important to it to make sure it overwrites the previous one. Also make sure your css link to the page is added after the external component css link if any.
Hope this helps.

/*your custom css property value. like below */

I'm a new user of GWT and I'm looking for some advice concerning "theme management".
I have to make a website that can handle theme changes. What I mean is that a user can make is own theme by filling a form, then the website will automatically and dynamically changes its color to display the new ones.
I thought using a CSS sheet for all the static properties and using some GWT lines (e.g. label.getElement.getStyle.setColor(...)) to change color. But I have many "hover" properties and I think creating many MouseOverHandler is not a good idea ...
Is there a way to edit CSS sheet dynamically or a magic trick to do that ?
Thanks.
You have many options - the most straight forward (to me) is to make use of the existing CSS classes that GWT introduces. If you look at javadocs for any of the widgets GWT provides, you'll notice the CSS Style Rules section. For example, Button:
.gwt-Button
the outer element
That means that every Button you add to the page has a .gwt-Button style applied to it. If you inject a CSS stylesheet with a rule that overrides this style:
.gwtButton {
background: red;
}
All your buttons will turn red. You can inject stylesheets using StyleInjector. Creating the stylesheet's content dynamically is up to you - but it's just text, it shouldn't be hard (but make sure the generated CSS rules are valid!).
To get you started, try hooking up this code to some button and see if clicking it triggers changing all the Buttons on the page red:
StyleInjector.inject(".gwt-Button { background: red; }");
If you have custom widgets that you want styled differently, just add an individual class to them (.customWidgetWhatever, like Button has .gwt-Button, etc.) that you will include in your custom stylesheet.
Make sure you understand how CSS works and what it can do for you. For example, if you want to style each button the same, you don't have to change each button's style individually, just use:
button {
background: green;
}
And all the <button>s will turn green.
The easiest way to change themes without reloading the whole application is to assign a theme class to the body element.
You'd want to prepend each CSS class in your app with a particular theme, e.g.:
.theme1 .myClass {
color: red;
}
.theme2 .myClass {
color: blue;
}
Then you'll apply a particular theme to the body element:
<body class="theme1">
When you want to change themes, you'll have to change the body class so it will become:
<body class="theme2">
this way, each element that has class myClass will have its color changed from red to blue.
You cannot edit a CSS file dynamically, but you can inject CSS style either as a new CSS file, or directly into your document.
For example, you can define all key CSS rules in your "main.css" file, and add your user-defined rules directly into the host HTML page with a style tag.
I'm new to the web side of things, and am confused how to deal with CSS. (Thankfully), there is little direct manipulation of HTML/CSS when using ExtJS4 so far... so now that I'm in need to change the CSS, I'm having problems.
Specifically, I'm trying to dynamically change the color of accordion header backgrounds.
Javascript:
afterrender: function(subForm) {
subForm.getHeader().getEl().addCls('custom-accordion-hd-valid');
// this works - so I know it's the right element.
subForm.getHeader().getEl().setStyle('background', 'hsl(100, 60%, 60%)');
}
CSS:
// attempt 1
.custom-accordion-hd-valid {
background: green;
}
// attempt 2
.custom-accordion-hd-valid .x-accordion-hd {
background: green;
}
So:
setting style via setStyle does work, but it doesn't easily allow me to remove a style
setting via addCls with CSS attempt 1 loads the CSS, but it gets overridden by .x-accordion-item
setting via addCls with CSS attempt 2 fails to load the CSS
Help?
if you for instance wanted to remove the background style you set here:
subForm.getHeader().getEl().setStyle('background', 'hsl(100, 60%, 60%)');
css will allow you to simply override it by setting it again eg:
subForm.getHeader().getEl().setStyle('background', 'none');
or
subForm.getHeader().getEl().setStyle('background', 'blue');
css has a particular priority on how it judges which styles are most "important" when multiple styles are provided - take a look here at this great article on css specificity
and realize by using that setStyle() method you are applying "inline" styles to these elements, where as other css definitions either in a file or in a style html tag have a lower priority
