Customization

There is a possibility to make changes in the look and feel of a message box or a tooltip. You can either create a new CSS class or use a CSS class that DHTMLX library provides.

Using new CSS classes

To use a new CSS class you need to take the following steps:

  • add a new CSS class(es) with desired settings in the <style> section of your HTML page or in your file with styles (don't forget to include your file on the page in this case)
<style>
.my_first_class {
/*some styles*/
}

.my_second_class {
/*some styles*/
}
</style>
  • specify the name of the created CSS class (or names of classes separated by spaces) as the value of the css property in the message box (alert, confirm), tooltip configuration:
dhx.message({
css:"my_first_class my_second_class"
});

For example:

<style>
.custom {
--dhx-font-color-primary: var(--dhx-color-white);
--dhx-background-primary: var(--dhx-color-primary);
--dhx-font-size-normal: 16px;
}
</style>

<script>
dhx.message({
text: "Here is dhtmlxMessage",
icon: "dxi dxi-close",
css: "custom"
});
</script>

Using default CSS classes

The DHTMLX library provides a set of own CSS classes that you can apply to change the appearance either of a message box or a tooltip.

dhx.message({
css:"dhx_widget--bg_gray"
});
