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 jqxDateTimeInput.
  • jqx-input - applied to jqxDateTimeInput widget.
  • jqx-input-content - applied to the input's content.
  • jqx-widget-content - applied to the input's content.
  • jqx-input-disabled - applied to the input when it is disabled.
  • jqx-input-button-header - applied to the jqxDateTimeInput's button header.
  • jqx-widget-header - applied to the jqxDateTimeInput's button header.
  • jqx-input-button-innerHeader - applied to the element which is in the middle of the jqxDateTimeInput's button header.
  • jqx-input-button-content- applied to the jqxDateTimeInput's button content.
  • jqx-fill-state-focus - applied to the jqxDateTimeInput when it is focused.
  • jqx-fill-state-disabled - applied to the jqxDateTimeInput when it is disabled.

When you create a custom style with colors and backgrounds for jqxDateTimeInput, you need to do the following:
  • Add the above CSS classes related to jqxDateTimeInput
  • After each CSS class, add your theme name.
    For example:
    jqx-input-themename
  • To apply your custom style to jqxDateTimeInput, you need to set its 'theme' property(option) to point to your theme name string. 
    <script type="text/javascript">
        $(document).ready(function () {
            $("#jqxdatetimeinput").jqxDateTimeInput({ width: '250px', height: '25px', theme: 'summer' });
        });
    </script>
