Header in Angular Tab component
14 Jun 202424 minutes to read
This section explains about modifying the style of Tab header, and configuring its icons and positions.
Styles
You can customize header styles by adding predefined classes in the Tab root element. The pre-defined CSS class names are as follows:
- e-fill: The Selected Tab header background is set as solid fill.
- e-background: Tab header has a solid fill background, and the selected header has a highlighted border.
- e-background e-accent: Tab header has a solid fill background, and the selected header has a highlighted border with accent color.
If the above custom style classes are not included in the root element, the default style is applied to the Tab items.
