Depending on the requirement, there are different ways to customize the look and feel of components.
- Molds
- A component could have multiple different appearance, such as accordion vs regular tabbox. Each appearance is called a mold. You could choose one fulfilling your need.
- CSS
- To fine-tune the look and feel of a particular component, you could specify CSS styles and classes without changing the DOM structure at the client.
- Theme Customization
- The default themes (breeze, classic blue.. provided by ZK) allows some generic customization, such as font size. In additions, you could customize CSS and also DOM structures.
- Theme Provider
- If you allow users to have different theme they prefer, you could implement a theme provider to allow them to switch among the themes you provide.
The CSS styling really depends on the implementation of the component (and the mold). It is suggested to refer to ZK Style Guide. In additions, if you have any doubt, you could use the HTML or CSS inspector shipped with the browser, such as Firebug for Firefox, and Developer Tools for Internet Explorer, to investigate how CSS styles are used.
