Styling and Appearance

jQWidgets uses a pair of css files - jqx.base.css and jqx.[theme name].css. The base stylesheet creates the styles related to the widget's layout like margin, padding, border-width, position. The second css file applies the widget's colors and backgrounds. The jqx.base.css should be included before the second CSS file.

Below is the list of CSS classes used by jqxProgressBar.
  • jqx-widget - applied to the progressbar.
  • jqx-progressbar - applied to the progressbar.
  • jqx-progressbar-value - applied to the progressbar's value element.
  • jqx-progressbar-value-vertical - applied to the progress bar's vertical value element- when the widget's orientation is 'vertical'.
  • jqx-fill-state-pressed - applied to the progressbar's value element.
  • jqx-widget-content - applied to the progressbar.
  • jqx-progressbar-disabled - applied to the progress bar when the widget is in disabled state.
  • jqx-fill-state-disabled - applied to the progress bar when the widget is in disabled state
When you create a custom style with colors and backgrounds for jqxProgressBar, you need to do the following:
  • Add the above CSS classes related to jqxProgressBar
  • After each CSS class, add your theme name.
    For example:
    jqx-progressbar-shinyblack
  • To apply your custom style to jqxProgressBar, you need to set its 'theme' property(option) to point to your theme name string. 
    <script type="text/javascript">
        $(document).ready(function () {
            // Create jqxProgressBar.
            $("#jqxprogressbar").jqxProgressBar({ theme: 'shinyblack', width: 250, height: 25, value: 50 });
        });
    </script>
