Advanced Customizations

Modified on Sun, 2 Mar at 6:40 PM

A default theme of colors, styles, and fonts is applied to the widget out-of-the-box. These are defined utilizing CSS variables which you can override with your brand styles. You can pick and choose what you override, you don't need to modify all the values.

Theming

To use CSS variables you'll need to add variables to your stylesheet or <style> tag in your HTML document. In the examples below we’ve used <style> tags. Add the style tag to the <head> of your document.

// Open the style tag
<style>

    // select the widget element
    sm-widget {
        // List all your css variables
        --<css-variable-name>: <value>;
    }

// Close the style tag
</style>

Changing the font

There are two types of fonts you can use, web-safe fonts and custom fonts. Web safe fonts are ones that are already included on most computers. They do not require any font installation. Custom fonts will require you to install the font. You can list multiple fonts, it will try and use the first one defined and fall back to the others.

Usage

<style>
    sm-widget {
       --sm-font-family-primary: 'Times, "Times New Roman", Georgia, serif';
    }
</style>
