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 jqxToolBar.
  • jqx-toolbar - applied to the jqxToolBar widget.
  • jqx-widget - applied to the jqxToolBar widget.
  • jqx-fill-state-normal - applied to the jqxToolBar widget and its minimize pop-up menu.
  • jqx-rc-all - applied to the jqxToolBar widget.
  • jqx-fill-state-disabled - applied to the jqxToolBar widget when it is disabled.
  • jqx-toolbar-tool - applied to tools in the jqxToolBar.
  • jqx-toolbar-tool-minimized - applied to minimized tools in the jqxToolBar.
  • jqx-toolbar-tool-rtl - applied to tools in the jqxToolBar when the property rtl is set to true.
  • jqx-toolbar-minimized-button - applied to the jqxToolBar minimize button.
  • jqx-menu-minimized-button - applied to the jqxToolBar minimize button.
  • jqx-toolbar-minimized-button-rtl - applied to the jqxToolBar minimize button when the property rtl is set to true.

  • jqx-toolbar-minimized-popup-separator - applied to horizontal separators in the jqxToolBar minimize pop-up menu.
When you create a custom style with colors and backgrounds for jqxToolBar, you need to do the following:
  • Add the above CSS classes related to jqxToolBar
  • After each CSS class, add your theme name.
    For example:
    jqx-toolbar-summer
  • To apply your custom style to jqxToolBar, you need to set its 'theme' property(option) to point to your theme name string. 
    <script type="text/javascript">
        $(document).ready(function () {
            $("#jqxToolBar").jqxToolBar({ theme: "summer", width: "100%", height: 35, tools: "button | dropdownlist combobox | input",
                initTools: function (type, index, tool, menuToolIninitialization) {
                    switch (index) {
                        case 0:
                            tool.text("Button");
                            break;
                        case 1:
                            tool.jqxDropDownList({ width: 130, source: ["Affogato", "Breve", "Café Crema"], selectedIndex: 1 });
                            break;
                        case 2:
                            tool.jqxComboBox({ width: 50, source: [8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20], selectedIndex: 3 });
                            break;
                        case 3:
                            tool.jqxInput({ width: 200, placeHolder: "Type here..." });
                            break;
                    }
                }
            });
        });
    </script>
    The theme is automatically applied to all non-custom tools in jqxToolBar.
