Development Instructions

Customization

App color and certain other styles can be customized via css variables. In order to do so you can add the following variables to your main css/scss file:

:root {
  --app-color: #FF9800;
  --app-color-secondary: #b085f5;
  --font-color: rgb(0, 0, 0);
  --font-color-second: rgb(107, 107, 107);
  --button-header-color: rgb(240, 240, 240);
  --keyboard-active-color: rgb(217, 217, 217);
  --input-field-color: rgb(200, 200, 200);
  --background-color: #f0f0f0;
  --box-color: #ffffff;

  --uploadbar-color: #999999;
  --switch-checked-color: #4d4d4d;
  --switch-svg-checked-color: #ffffff;
  --graytext-color: rgba(16, 16, 16, 0.3);

  --warning-color: #ff4444;
  --pagination-bullet-color: #444444;

  --base-tooltip-box-threshold-top: 0;
  --header-height: 55px;
}

Then in your main.js file import your styles before the base-ui-components file. E.g.:

import './styles/app.scss';

import 'base-ui-components/base-ui-components.css';
