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 jqxButtons.

• jqxButtonGroup

• jqx-buttongroup - applied to the Button Group.
• jqx-fill-state-normal - applied to button when it's state is default/normal.
• jqx-fill-state-hover - applied to button when it's state is hovered i.e the mouse cursor is over the button.
• jqx-fill-state-pressed - applied to button when it's state is pressed i.e the mouse button is down.
