How to Change the Background Color of Kendo-UI Dialog in Angular

If you're working on an Angular application using Kendo UI and need to change the background color of a dialog box dynamically, you're not alone. Many developers face the challenge of customizing the look and feel of their pop-up dialogs based on conditions specific to their applications. In this post, we will discuss how to effectively change the background color of a kendo-ui Dialog in Angular without unintentionally affecting other parts of your application.

The Problem: Changing Background Color of Kendo-UI Dialog

When attempting to change the background color of the Kendo UI pop-up dialog, many developers initially try using Angular's [ngStyle] attribute. However, this can result in altering the backdrop's color instead of the dialog itself. Moreover, dynamically applying styles using [ngClass] can be misleading if not handled properly.

Here’s an example where a developer might try to change the background color based on a condition:

Unfortunately, this does not yield the desired effect.

The Solution: Override CSS with Specificity

After some exploration, the key to changing the background color of the Kendo dialog lies in overriding the default CSS. This can be achieved by targeting the .k-window-content class directly within your component's stylesheet. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of the solution:

Step 1: Identify the Correct Class

The class responsible for the background color of the Kendo dialogs is .k-window-content.

Step 2: Use Deep Selector to Override Styles

To ensure your CSS changes are applied within the scope of your component, use Angular’s ::ng-deep selector:

Step 3: Limit Scope with :host Selector

You might notice that overriding the CSS globally can affect all instances of the dialog in your application. To limit the styling to a specific component, wrap your ::ng-deep rule with the :host selector, ensuring that only the dialog in your targeted component is modified:

Conclusion

By combining the :host and ::ng-deep selectors, you can customize the background color of your Kendo UI dialogs in Angular conditionally without interfering with other components. This approach gives you the flexibility to maintain consistent styling across your application while allowing for specific changes where necessary.

Feel free to experiment with different conditions and colors based on your application needs, and watch how your Kendo UI dialogs become more dynamic and visually appealing!

Happy coding!
