Default Theme Properties
Overview
Your Servoy solution can be styled using LESS as dynamic style sheet language and/or unprocessed CSS (3.0). When creating a Servoy NG Client solution, the solution is created with the Servoy default less theme ( is possible to opt-out ); the theme offers configurable styles for commonly used components and a set of utility classes.
Quick Start
When creating a new solution the Servoy default less theme is included by default. To opt-out, in the Create a new solution wizard, click on Show advanced solution settings and uncheck the option Add default servoy .less theme (configurable by a less properties file).
For existing Servoy solution instead, the less theme can be added using the solution's property styleSheet; click on Create New Stylesheet in the Solution CSS picker and follow the wizard.
To configure the Theme colors and properties open the solution_properties.less in the solution's Media node. The file should not be edited directly, it can be opened with the Servoy Theme Properties editor (on double click).
You can further enhance and customize the solution's style writing your own CSS/LESS in the solution's .less file, also present in the solution's Media node of the solution.
How it works
The solution_properties.less file can be used to configure the theme properties, which are defined as less variables. The accompanying servoy_theme.less contains the classes for the theme. These files should not be edited directly. The LESS properties can be opened with the Servoy Theme Properties editor. To open the Servoy Theme Properties editor select in the context menu (right-click) of the active solution the entry Configure the theme. Alternatively you can find the solution_properties.less in the solution's Media node; double-click it to open the Servoy Theme Properties editor.
Theme version
Every new version of Servoy may come with an updated version of the Theme, offering theme enhancements and fixes; note the theme enhancements may affect the overall style of your solution, particoularly if you have heavily customized the solution's style with your own CSS/LESS. To prevent breaking changes for your solution you can select a specific version of the Servoy Theme and decline the new enhancements. If you select latest instead, you will always use the latest version of Servoy Theme.
Theme editing
Using the Servoy Theme Properties you can customize colors and properties to your preference. Theme properties are grouped in different categories; General properties affects the style globally, Brand colors affects the branding utilities (e.g. btn-danger), some of the most advanced Servoy components like Sidenav, Tabs etc.. have their own properties section.
For example you can change the value of the @main-color variable to use a different primary color applied to your theme. You can use any applicable CSS or LESS value as: #E9720B, orange, lighten(#E9720B, 10%)... You can also reference other less variables applicable to the same property, like @text-color-inverse: @text-color. If the property value is different than the default, the label color of the property is blue.
To reset the value to the default, right click the property name. In case you upgrade the theme to a newer version, and there are conflicts between properties values (so a value that was changed in the editor was also changed in the theme), the labels will be colored in red.
You can also view the actual content of the solution_properties.less file, in the Source tab of the editor.
Custom style
Your solution .less file may contain your own css/less styles and using variables from the properties.less file is allowed. Here you can also add your own .less variables which can be used in your own less style.
Example
// import of the default servoy theme, comment out or delete the line if you don't want to use the default servoy theme.
@import 'servoy_theme.less';
// import of the solution theme properties that only incudes the servoy theme properties and custom properties.
@import 'solution_properties.less';
// Add your custom less/css to this file you can use the same less properties that are specified in the above properties.less
/* Secondary background color, re-use theme variables to create new styles */
.bg-secondary {
background-color: @secondary-color;
color: @secondary-color-inverse;
}
a.bg-secondary:hover {
background-color: @secondary-color-light;
color: @secondary-color-inverse;
}
// new less variable
@brand-fourth: #F6B900;
/* Fourth variation for a background-color using new less variables */
.bg-fourth {
background-color: @brand-fourth;
color: @text-color;
}
a.bg-fourth:hover {
background-color: @brand-fourth;
color: @text-color;
