Solved: Access to CSS - Page 6 - Qlik Community

ogster1974 · ‎2014-09-04

A lot of the reports we write are for customers with brand guidelines we need to adhere to.

With sense being a HTML Front end are there plans to give users access to the underlying CSS in Qlik Sense?

I've seen in extensions you can access and modify the CSS of a chart type
but I think that would be overkill to have to rewrite a chart object just to access the formatting.

If I wanted to for example change the Chart Titles from Qlik grey to black for example. Is there one place I can change this and if yes will we be able to upload themes to it in future. Something like what Bootstrap have done.

I was told it "slipped" not being included in the newest 3.0 version.

What do you have under C:\Program Files\Qlik\Sense\Client\ then?

There is no Qlik folder in Program Files when you install Qlik Desktop...

rbecher · ‎2016-06-21

Of course not. Who needs this for Desktop...

I do

The only thing I'm trying to do is : changing the default color palette for bar & line charts...

The "only thing" is not possible..

Hello,

In previous version there was an asset script which could be used to load a given theme and access its properties. It was theme.js stored in assets/general/services/media-tool/theme.js

In 3.0 it's gone. I used that service in some of my extensions as a dependency. I understand that it was removed intentionally and I should rewrite my extensions?

Thanks

Yes, don't depend on un-documented modules as we could remove those without warning.

Thanks Alexander,

Can you please advice how can I write generic custom extensions which use color palettes defined in themes? Native extensions adjust to used theme so I believe there must be easy way to adapt this mechanism in custom extension.

I am also in search of a good way to write styles that override the default ones. I do realize with a sheet you can make a widget that would use js to inject a <link /> in the <head /> BUT this causes FOUC (Flash of unstyled content - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia), very bad for UX. I really wish there was a way to include a custom css file in the <head /> BEFORE any js is loaded.

I find the lack of this functionality a major bummer as we really desire our Qlik iframe embeds to look as part of the application and not something duck tapped onto it.

If anyone has any tricks on using CSS to override default sheet styles I would be very grateful.
