In CQ5, how do I configure an extJS component? - extjs

This question is specific to Adobe CQ5, so ExtJS answers by themselves won't be that helpful.
I have a custom text component with a menu option to change the background color. We're referencing a colorfield component in our dialog.xml, and so far everything works. The color menu appears with the default set of colors in the palette and can be clicked. So far so good.
I would now like to customize the palette and only show a select set of colors specific to our client. How do I achieve this?
Here's the relevant dialog.xml snippet so far:
<bgcolor
jcr:primaryType="cq:Widget"
fieldLabel="Background color"
name="./bgColor"
showHexValue="true"
xtype="colorfield"/>

For future reference, you could probably get by creating a custom ColorField to call a custom ColorMenu which sets a custom ColorPalette. If ColorField had configurable options, these would probably be mentioned in the Ext docs or found in the JS file itself in /libs/cq/ui/widgets/..

Simply put, override the ExtJS widget with your own. Not ideal but it'll do.

Change dialog button color (Next/Back) : Intro JS React

I am using a React wrapper for intro js,
and I am trying to change the default background color for dialog buttons.
Here's a codesandbox given in the documentation
I want to change the background color of the Next button here
I have been trying to look this up all over the web but I cannot find a solution.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I had to inspect the element and override the CSS to make it work.
Then the color got changed correctly

Finite Icon Colors in Draftail Editor

I am trying to implement a finite number of colors (like square icons) on the Draftail editor itself. What will be the best way to approach this?
It should be similar to how Microsoft Word displays the font color or something along those lines.
Thanks in advance.
I'm not sure if it's the best approach but here is what I came up with:
https://gist.github.com/benoitvogel/46022124d46de03ed2078603fb24ca97
This defines a new inline style which encloses the selected text between <span class="mycustomclass"></span> (change feature_name according to the CSS class you want to use).
Then, you just have to define the corresponding .mycustomstyle CSS class in your frontend as usual:
.mycustomstyle {
color: purple;
}
You can also modify control['style'] to change the way this style will be displayed in the editor.
You will get 1 icon/label per CSS class, so it's not really like in Word as you won't get a proper selector. I haven't tried it myself, but according to Wagtail docs icon can reference SVG, so you might be able to display color squares instead of labels.
Hope it fits your needs.

Is there a way to change the color of the layout in PopOver

I have a Popover menu with material-ui and I have noticed that in default mode the library puts a layer to capture outside clicks to close the menu. I was wondering is there a way to change the background color or assign a class to this layer to give it some style?
Thanks
I don't see any possibilities in v0.19.3 (Popover.js component), but looks like the new version (they are currently working on, still in beta) will have such possibility:
<Popover
backdropInvisible={false}
backdropClassName="MyBackDropClass"
...
>
...
</Popover>
Also it looks like it will be possible to provide your own backdrop component or provide transition delay.
If the project you're working on can rely on beta version of material-ui, just test it out:
npm install material-ui#next

Bootstrap DropdownButton Styling

I have the following code:
header_contents.push(<DropdownButton bsSize='xsmall' bsStyle='link' pullRight={true} id={1} title='Menu'>
{item_menu}
</DropdownButton>);
I want to have the styling in Bootstrap to be white lettering (currently blue) as I think the link option is defaulted to that. How can you change the styling for Bootstrap to pass link color, and other properties like if you want to move the link down a little on the page?
I should mention we do very little CSS styling as most of that is done within the ReactJS components.
Either override bootstrap CSS in a css file (that is what your seem to avoid I understand): it is the better way to ensure a global effect over every link in your application.
Or do no sent bsStyle='link' as DropdownButton property but instead, insert a style property with custom CSS. Yet you can insert style even if you don't remove bsStyle. You could then create your own component wrapping DropdownButton to ensure the same graphic chart in your application.
I figured it out with the help of an online chat room. Here's what I did.
I first made a style (dropDownLinkStyle) in the react component like this.
let dropDownLinkStyle = {
color: 'white'
};
Then I used it (dropDownLinkStyle) in the dropdownButton like this.
header_contents.push(<DropdownButton bsSize='large' style={dropDownLinkStyle} bsStyle='link' pullRight={true} id={1 /* avoids react warning */} title='Menu'>
{item_menu}
</DropdownButton>);
I hope this helps. This allowed me to keep my bsStyle which is link (tells Bootstrap I want a link type on my screen instead of a button) and allows me to change that link to white lettering. I could also pass more styling by just adding it to the object -- dropDownLinkStyle

ExtJS Change Button UI

Using ExtJS5 I want my toolbar buttons to look like the normal ExtJS buttons. In the documentation I see the CSS Mixins but I am not putting things together. Can someone give me a kick in the right direction? Thanks.
Use defaultButtonUI in your toolbar:
defaultButtonUI : 'default'
See documentation of defaultButtonUI:
A default ui to use for Button items. This is a quick and simple way
to change the look of all child Buttons.
If there is no value for defaultButtonUI, the button's ui value will
get -toolbar appended so the Button has a different look when it's a
child of a Toolbar.
