CSS Color Themes

Light/dark theme color change (Alpha version)

Internet Explorer 11 browser is no longer supported. Features that are described in this section are not going to affect the interface when using this particular web browser.

Important: this functionality is currently being developed. Any variable and selector names can be changed or removed in future versions completely.

Starting from version 16.

You can change the colors of light/dark theme for certain UI elements by connecting your CSS files. For your convenience, some elements have CSS Custom Properties that can be overridden.

The following CSS will make the widget look pink when selecting the light/dark theme.
