Size and color in Angular AppBar component

22 Sep 202511 minutes to read

The Angular AppBar component provides flexible sizing and color customization options through the mode and colorMode properties. These properties allow developers to create AppBars that fit various design requirements and application contexts.

Size

The AppBar size can be configured using the mode property. The AppBar supports three distinct size modes to accommodate different content requirements and design preferences:

• Regular AppBar
• Prominent AppBar
• Dense AppBar

Regular AppBar

This mode is the default one in which the AppBar is displayed with the default height.

app.component.ts

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core'
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser'
import { AppBarModule } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-navigations'
import { ButtonModule } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-buttons'



import { Component } from "@angular/core";

@Component({
imports: [ AppBarModule, ButtonModule],


standalone: true,
  selector: "app-root",
  template: `<!-- To Render AppBar. -->
    <div class="control-container">
      <ejs-appbar colorMode="Primary">
        <button #defaultButtonMenu ejs-button cssClass="e-inherit" iconCss="e-icons e-menu"></button>
        <span class="regular">Regular AppBar</span>
        <div class="e-appbar-spacer"></div>
        <button #defaultButtonLogin ejs-button cssClass="e-inherit">FREE TRIAL</button>
      </ejs-appbar>
    </div>`,
})
export class AppComponent {}

main.ts

import { bootstrapApplication } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import 'zone.js';
bootstrapApplication(AppComponent).catch((err) => console.error(err));

Prominent AppBar

This height mode can be set to the AppBar by setting Prominent to the property mode. The prominent AppBar is displayed with a longer height and can be used for larger titles, images, or texts. It is also longer than the regular AppBar. In the following example, we have customized the prominent text using align-self and white-space CSS properties. You can change the prominent AppBar height if larger titles, images, or texts are used.

app.component.ts

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core'
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser'
import { AppBarModule } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-navigations'
import { ButtonModule } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-buttons'



import { Component } from "@angular/core";

@Component({
imports: [ AppBarModule, ButtonModule],


standalone: true,
  selector: "app-root",
  template: `<!-- To Render AppBar. -->
    <div class="control-container">
      <ejs-appbar colorMode="Primary" mode="Prominent" cssClass="prominent-appbar">
        <button #defaultButtonMenu ejs-button cssClass="e-inherit" iconCss="e-icons e-menu"></button>
        <span class="prominent">AppBar Component with Prominent mode</span>
        <div class="e-appbar-spacer"></div>
        <button #defaultButtonLogin ejs-button cssClass="e-inherit">FREE TRIAL</button>
      </ejs-appbar>
    </div>`,
})
export class AppComponent {}

main.ts

import { bootstrapApplication } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import 'zone.js';
bootstrapApplication(AppComponent).catch((err) => console.error(err));

Dense AppBar

This height mode can be set to the AppBar by setting Dense to the property mode. Dense AppBar is displayed with shorter height which is denser to accommodate all the AppBar content.

app.component.ts

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core'
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser'
import { AppBarModule } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-navigations'
import { ButtonModule } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-buttons'



import { Component } from "@angular/core";

@Component({
imports: [ AppBarModule, ButtonModule],


standalone: true,
  selector: "app-root",
  template: `<!-- To Render AppBar. -->
    <div class="control-container">
      <ejs-appbar colorMode="Primary" mode="Dense">
        <button #defaultButtonMenu ejs-button cssClass="e-inherit" iconCss="e-icons e-menu"></button>
        <span class="dense">Dense AppBar</span>
        <div class="e-appbar-spacer"></div>
        <button #defaultButtonLogin ejs-button cssClass="e-inherit">FREE TRIAL</button>
      </ejs-appbar>
    </div>`,
})
export class AppComponent {}

main.ts

import { bootstrapApplication } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import 'zone.js';
bootstrapApplication(AppComponent).catch((err) => console.error(err));

Color

The background and font colors can be set using the colorMode property. The available types of background color for the AppBar are as follows:

• Light AppBar
• Dark AppBar
• Primary AppBar
• Inherit AppBar

Light AppBar

This color mode is the default one in which the AppBar can be displayed with a light background and its corresponding font color.

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core'
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser'
import { AppBarModule } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-navigations'
