Requirement  – This feature is a part of The WDesignKit, make sure it’s installed & activated to enjoy all its powers.

To add styling options to any control or element you have to use different style related controls such as Color, Choose, Dimension etc.

Note: For better organization of options you should add all the style controls in the Style tab of the Layout panel.

For example, we have a Text control and we want to add a Color control to allow users an option to change the text color.

To do this in the Widget Builder, wrap your control or element inside a custom HTML tag with a custom class.

To do this, let’s add a Text control and wrap it inside a div class named title

Now, in the Style tab, add the Color control.

Then in the Color control, go to the Selectors field and add your custom class name.

Note: If you are adding a class make sure to add the class name with .(dot) in front like ‘.title’ or in case of an id add the id name with a # in front like ‘#title’.

In the Selectors value field, you have to add the CSS property that you want to target. Here we want to change the text color so we’ll add color.

Note: Make sure not to include any :(colon) after the CSS property.

Now, you can change the text color of the text field. Following this process, you can link any style controls with other controls.

Note: While using any Group Contols for styling you have to just add the class or id name in the Selectors field. Because it contains all the relevant properties.
