Style and appearance in EJ2 TypeScript Appbar control

2 May 20236 minutes to read

To modify the AppBar appearance, you need to override the default CSS of the AppBar component. Please 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.

import { AppBar } from "@syncfusion/ej2-navigations";
import { Button } from "@syncfusion/ej2-buttons";

const defaultAppBarObj: AppBar = new AppBar({
  colorMode: 'Primary',
  cssClass: 'custom-appbar'
});
defaultAppBarObj.appendTo("#defaultAppBar");

const defaultButtonMenuObj: Button = new Button({ cssClass: 'e-inherit', iconCss: 'e-icons e-home' });
defaultButtonMenuObj.appendTo('#defaultButtonMenu');
