Customize Widgets Using CSS

You can fully customize the visual theme of embedded widgets using CSS. For examples, please see our Codepen.

Naming Convention

Use the following naming convention for CSS variables:

--qv-[module]-[property]-[attribute]

  • --qv-: Every CSS variable in Qrvey must start with the prefix -qv-. This minimizes the risk of name collision when embedding widgets and helps to identify Qrvey variables.

  • module: Refers to sections or areas in which the product is divided. It is necessary for variables that only affect a specific area of the product.

    • For global variables, this value must be the global word: -qv-global-.
    • For variables that apply only to the chart, they must start with: -qv-chart-.
  • property: The CSS property to which the variable applies (color, font, margin / padding, border, etc.)

    • Examples: -qv-color- , -qv-chart-color
  • attribute: Further context or detail of the variable's purpose. Examples:

    • --qv-global-color-main
    • --qv-global-color-text
    • --qv-global-color-title
    • --qv-global-color-main-hover
    • --qv-global-font-size
    • --qv-global-font-family
    • --qv-global-border-border
    • --qv-global-border-radius-radius
    • --qv-chart-font-family
    • --qv-chart-font-size-label
    • --qv-chart-font-size-title
    • --qv-chart-font-font-size-tooltip

Priority and Fallback

Some components may depend on more than one CSS variable or custom property, so it is important to define which one takes precedence. In addition, you should always define a fixed value as a last resort (or fallback). For example:

.cl1 {

background-color: var(--qv-global-color-main, orange)

}

.cl2 {

background-color: var(--qv-chart-cell-color-main, var(--qv–global-color-main, orange))

}

For .cl1, if the variable --qv-color-main does not exist, the fixed value orange will be applied.

For .cl2, if --qv-cell-color-main does not exist, --qv-color-main will be evaluated, and if it does not exist, orange will be applied.

Note: For more information on using var(), see https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/var and https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/Using_CSS_custom_properties.

Inheritance

CSS variables are cascading in nature. As such, the value of a variable is inherited from its parent.

Please click here to see an example of inheritance in codepen.

You can also assign the inline CSS variables in a closer node/element.

Qrvey widgets usually assign CSS variables in the <body/> or in the :root{} pseudo-class.


:root {

--qv-color-main: blue;
--qv-cell-color-main: pink;

}

.overwrite {

--qv-color-main: red;

}

.cl1 {

background-color: var(--qv-color-main, orange)

}

.cl2 {

background-color: var(--qv-cell-color-main, var(--qv-color-main, orange))

}

Qrvey Component Library

Most of the library components depend on the main color, and this is applicable for the default Qrvey theme. However, you may want to give buttons a different shade than the main one. In this case, assign a main variable and an optional variable. For example:

var(--qv-btn-color-main, var(–qv-color-main, orange))

For more information on the design system, see Qrvey Design System.

Backward Compatibility (in progress)

To continue to support legacy variables, assign each variable in a node. For example, to support --qv-main-color, assign the variable using the following technique:

body {

-–qv-main-color: var(--qv-global-main-color, orange);

}

Colors

Among the customization variables we find the color variables, which let you change the main colors of the theme:

Fonts

To modify the font type of the components inside the widget, use the following global CSS variable:

Variable nameFunctionalityExample
--qv-global-font-familyChanges the font family across the complete interface

Custom Font Family On Visualizations

Version 8.3 of the Qrvey platform introduced visualizations using echarts, which you cannot manipulate through CSS. Instead, those charts render with canvas. In version 8.2 and earlier, visualizations worked by svg and allowed immediate changes by elements. By themes performance, constant requests cannot be made to monitor the immediate change by CSS, therefore we defined that it must be necessary that the user has the custom variable of --qv-global-font-family declared before, or he should reload the theme, or the widget so that the changes can be applied when the default option is selected in the font dropdown of the themes modal.

Chart Panel Font

The following table lists the font variables specific to chart panels:

Variable NameFunctionalityReference Image
--qv-an-font-size-chart-panel-titleAllows to modify the font size of the chart panel title (default is 13px)
--qv-an-font-weight-chart-panel-titleAllows to modify the font weight of the chart panel title (default is normal)
--qv-an-font-size-chart-panel-optionsAllows to modify the font size of the icons of the chart panel options (default is 13px)
