The visual display of SAP UI5 controls can be edited in various ways. One simple way is to define an own CSS style class and to embed it to the SAP UI5 Control. It is verry simple:

Extending the SAP UI5 INDEX file

Add a new css class to the index.html. Of Course, there are also other ways (external css file, … ) – but in this example we will add the style-class direct in the index.html file;

Adjusting the SAP UI5

Use the method addStyleClass to add the new css class to the sap ui5 control:

Result

Not very surprisingly, the font color is whit, black background and italic:

      Hello Rohan,

      just tried and it worked.

      Just add this line to HEAD in index.html:

       

      <link href=”custom.css” rel=”stylesheet” type=”text/css”>

    What if we are following Component approach by using Component.js instead of index.html and lets say deploying our application to launchpad. In that case ,we won’t be writing our own index.html so where are we going to write our code of defining Custom CSS

      You can add the following code to your createContent() method of your Component:

       

      var csspath = jQuery.sap.getModulePath(“your.component.name”,”/foldername/filename.css”);

       

        jQuery.sap.includeStyleSheet(csspath);

          No, it is the name of your component. The namespace that you have used for your project to be specific.

          eg: sap.trans.eg is the name of your component or the namespace of the app

          and your view name would be: sap.trans.eg.view.App

           

          Regards,
