To modify the AppBar appearance, you need to override the default CSS of the AppBar component. Find the list of CSS classes and their corresponding sections in the AppBar component. Also, you have an option to create your own custom theme for the controls using our Theme Studio.

CSS Class	Purpose of Class
.e-appbar	To customize the appbar.
.e-appbar.e-prominent	To customize the prominent appbar.
.e-appbar.e-dense	To customize the dense appbar.
.e-appbar.e-light	To customize the light appbar.
.e-appbar.e-dark	To customize the dark appbar.
.e-appbar.e-primary	To customize the dark appbar.
.e-appbar.e-inherit	To customize the inherit appbar.

NOTE

You can change the prominent AppBar height if larger titles, images, or texts are used.

CssClass

CssClass is used for AppBar customization based on the custom class. In the example below, the AppBar background and color are customized using the CssClass property.

CSHTML

@using Syncfusion.EJ2;
@using Syncfusion.EJ2.Navigations;

@(Html.EJS().AppBar("defaultAppBar").ColorMode(AppBarColor.Primary).CssClass("custom-appbar").ContentTemplate(@<div>
    @Html.EJS().Button("defaultButtonMenu").CssClass("e-inherit").IconCss("e-icons e-home").Render()
</div>).Render())

<style>
    .e-appbar.custom-appbar {
        background: #ff0000;
        color: #fff;
    }
</style>

CssClass.cs

public ActionResult Index()
{
    return View();
}

HtmlAttributes

It can be used for additional inline attributes by specifying as inline attributes or by specifying htmlAttributes directive. In the code example below, the aria-label of the AppBar is customized by specifying as attributes.

CSHTML

@using Syncfusion.EJ2;
@using Syncfusion.EJ2.Navigations;

@(Html.EJS().AppBar("defaultAppBar").ColorMode(AppBarColor.Primary).ContentTemplate(@<div>
    @Html.EJS().Button("defaultButtonMenu").CssClass("e-inherit").IconCss("e-icons e-home").Render()
</div>).HtmlAttributes(ViewBag.HtmlAttribute).Render())

HtmlAttributes.cs

public ActionResult Index()
{
    Dictionary<string, object> htmlAttribute = new Dictionary<string, object>()
    {   {"aria-label", "appbar" } };
    ViewBag.HtmlAttribute = htmlAttribute;
    return View();
}
