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-class .dhx_message__text {
    font-size: 16px;
  }
  .custom-class .dhx_message__icon {
    color: red;
  }
</style>
 
dhx.message({
  text: "Here is dhtmlxMessage",
  icon: "dxi dxi-close",
  css: "custom-class"
});

Using default CSS classes

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

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