I have created a custom theme for my application. The base color of the theme is white. I have a tabpanel on one of my view. There are almost 15 tabs on that view. Not all the tabs can be visible at the same time therefore scrollers are added by default for navigation between tabs at left and right. The issue is the color of the scrollers. With neptune or any other default theme these scrollers are clearly visible but with the custom theme they are plain white. User can't even know that there are srollers there. The scroller image is also not visible. Can someone specify the SAAS variables that configures the scroller appearance? $panel-tool-background-image: 'tools/tool-sprites' or $panel-tool-background-image: 'tools/tool-sprites-dark' do not work either.
The documentation should provide what you need ("CSS Variables" section). There are a few relating to the scroller.

You could also look at using the extjs-tab-panel-ui mixin to create a custom ui for your tab panel:

I want to achieve this in Onsen UI:
Notice taller toolbar than standard, white overlay burger menu icon (for the standard element) and no bottom border between the image and the first item.
I think the burger icon is easy (assuming it stays in the right place with a taller toolbar).
The background image I tried manually setting the CSS property background-image in the browser DOM (using Chrome devtools) on the element and adding the transparent modifier, so <ons-toolbar modifier="transparent"> - unfortunately this got overridden so background image didn't show at all. I also tried doing the same thing on the within the toolbar and that didn't go full width and not sure the burger icon would have been on top anyway
Not sure how to override the toolbar CSS to make a tall/fat toolbar that shows the full height of the image and has no border - I've looked at the CSS for the toolbar in the browser DOM in Chrome Devtools but can't see how to modify it correctly
Ideally need this to be able to cope with different device widths or portrait/landscape orientation.
Any suggestions much appreciated. Thanks.
I just started building my first App with Codename One and I'm having quite some trouble. :-)
I cant change the background color of a TextField, I changed everything in the Theme and named it "TextField". At the Color tab I changed the background color and set Transparency to 255. Since the Component is named TextField, shouldnt the style be applied automatically when I make a new TextField?
I also tried to set the UIID manually to "TextField", which didn't help either.
Am I missing something?
Kind regards,
Max
The way backgrounds work in Codename One is this:
Border is applied first
Then image
Then gradient
Then color
TextField and other components such as Button etc. often have a default border derived from the theme.
Switch to the Border tab, click derive then click the ... button and select empty.
I am trying to get a result looking like this (picture taken from https://material.google.com/components/tabs.html#tabs-usage):
I don't want the tabs to take 100% of the width of the page, as it is by default with material-ui. Is it possible to do this with the implementation of material-ui ? I already played with the width of each tab using the style tab property, but the inkbare seems hardcoded to use percentages according to the id of the selected tab, and therefore doesn't underline properly the resized tabs. Is there a workaround?
There is an issue related to this problem https://github.com/callemall/material-ui/issues/1203
But yes, there is an easy workaround. (unfortunately it doesnt support diffrent widths across the tabs).
You can use the Tabs tabItemContainerStyle property to set the width of the tabs container (make it the width you want to each tab times the number of tabs).
Since the background color is setted on that element, you're gonna need to override the styles for two others Tabs properties (style and contentContainerStyle).
In this example Im setting the same color as my tabs in the style property (for the whole component) and setting the contentContainerStyle back to a white background.
You could use the classes properties as well..
Ex: (Imagine you have a blue toolbar)
<Tabs
tabItemContainerStyle={{width: '400px'}}
style={{background: 'blue'}}
contentContainerStyle={{background: '#FFF'}} >
I'm trying to create Custom Form configuration with scrollable TitleArea. The Form (black) has a BoxLayout.Y_AXIS Layout in BorderLayout.CENTER (blue). StatusBar (green) stays in BorderLayout.NORTH (green), when rest of the TitleArea (cyan) is in the first position in BoxLayout.
removeComponentFromForm function is unavailable for using in extended class. How can I remove components from Form to removing titleArea from BorderLayout.NORTH?
Why use the title area at all? Why not just add a component to the top of the box layout Y and style it as a Title that way you can scroll it out?
You can also use the new Toolbar API that includes many abilities to fade out the title as you scroll etc. See:

How can I create a theme for a dialog box?
I was trying to change the border style of the dialog box but the border style applies 2 times for an inner element and for an outer element. I was expected that the border style applies only to the inner element.
To be clearer, as I cannot add image to my post, it seems that the dialog does not consist only from the center box which is showed while dialog is active. The dialog UI consists from a “background form” which usually is transparent and from a container which overlay over the background form. The last mentioned container contains de graphic representation of the “dialog box”.
My issue is that I can not apply my style only to the container which contains the dialog box but the style applies also to the background form.
How can I apply the border style only to the dialog box container element?
Any additional tips will be highly appreciated.
Thanks.
How are you applying the style? Are you using the theme to apply a style to the Dialog UIID as explained here.
Using setStyle or getStyle on a dialog component would be problematic and would not result in proper styling (you might get away with doing it on getDialogComponent but you should work with the theme).
Notice that to style a dialog you should use Dialog, DialogTitle & DialogBody UIID's and quite a few theme constants.
Thanks Shai,
is clear now.
I’m doing a custom dialog starting from the BlankDialog element provided in designer.
Because I started from BlankDialog I thought that overriding only UIID theme is enough.
I understood the BlankDialog structure wrongly thinking that is a simple empty form because is named "Blank…"
Is clear now that for every new UI object added, I should check if it has any other UI child to be customized together with the parent.
Thanks again.
