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 jqxDocking.

• jqx-docking - applied to the docking's main div.
• jqx-docking-panel - applied to the different docking panels.
• jqx-docking-drop-indicator - applied to the jqxdocking's drop indicator.
• jqx-docking-window - applied to the windows which are inside the docking.
