Styles and Themes

The Grid Lite comes with four distinct themes - Bootstrap, Material, Fluent and Indigo. The grid and its UI components have the themes baked in, but the component requires a global stylesheet for palettes, typography and other global configurations to work.

Loading a Base Themes

Depending on your project type, setup and build configuration the method of how to include one of the files below will vary. If you are using a framework/build tool refer to its documentation on how to add external styles to your output bundle.

As a rule of thumb, you can always copy the themes folder to your assets directory and link the theme from there in your index.html.

<link rel="stylesheet" href="./assets/themes/light/bootstrap.css"

In the sample below, you can preview all the default base themes.

Creating Custom Themes

Aside from the default themes shipped with the Grid Lite package, you can further customize the look and feel of your data grid by using an alternate set of CSS custom properties.

Refer to the theming topic for more details.

.grid-sample {
  --header-background: #494949;
  --header-text-color: #f2c43c;
  --cell-active-border-color: #f2c43c;
  --row-hover-background: #707070;
  --row-hover-text-color: #f2c43c;
}

Here is an example showcasing the custom theming from above.
