Org Chart Stylization

It is very easy to modify the appearance of the Org Chart. You can apply a new styling to shapes and their content, as well as modify the look of connectors and change the way of connecting shapes by creating nested lists. The customization possibilities depend on the shape type.

Styling "card" and "img-card" shape types

Check the list below to find the CSS class that should be changed to modify the look of a particular element:

To style the shape, redefine the .dhx_item_shape CSS class.
To style the shape content redefine the .shape_content CSS class.
To style the title of the shape, redefine the .dhx_content_title CSS class.
To style the text of the shape, redefine the .dhx_content_text CSS class.
To style the image in the shape, redefine the .dhx_content_img CSS class.
To style the look of the connectors between cards, you need to define a CSS class with desired attributes and set its name in the configuration object of the connector.

Please note that a connector represents an SVG line element. Thus, you can only use CSS properties applied to an SVG line element to define the style of a connector line.

For example:

When you hover over the styled shape, it will change as follows:

The code implementing the styling shown above is:

<style>
    .myStyle .dhx_item_shape {
        rx: 0;
        ry: 0;
        stroke: #9575CD;
        fill: #9575CD;
    }
 
    .myStyle:hover .dhx_item_shape {
        fill: #00b7ff;
        stroke: #00b7ff;
    }
 
    .dhx_diagram_item.myStyle:hover .dhx_content_img {
        border-radius: 0;
    }
 
    .dhx_diagram_item.myStyle .dhx_content_title {
        fill: #FFF;
        color: #FFF;
    }
 
    .dhx_diagram_item.myStyle:hover .dhx_content_title{
        fill: #000;
        color: #000;
        font-size: 1.2em;
    }
 
    .dhx_diagram_item.myStyle .dhx_content_text {
        fill: #FFF;
        color: #FFF;
    }
 
    .dhx_diagram_item.myStyle:hover .dhx_content_text {
        fill: #000;
        color: #000;
    }
 
    .myConnector {
        stroke: red;
        stroke-dasharray: 10;
    }
</style>
