Add Custom CSS to a Screen
Use the Custom CSS mode to add custom CSS styles to a ProcessMaker Screen. ProcessMaker supports standard Cascading Style Sheet language (CSS) syntax with a few exceptions.
Your ProcessMaker user account or group membership must have the following permissions to add custom CSS to a ProcessMaker Screen unless your user account has the Make this user a Super Admin setting selected:
Screens: Edit Screens
Screens: View Screens
See the ProcessMaker Screens permissions or ask your ProcessMaker Administrator for assistance.
If a ProcessMaker Screen control affected by a visibility rule is hidden by default from custom CSS, the visibility rule overrides the custom CSS design. For example, if custom CSS is designed to hide a ProcessMaker Screen control by default when that control's visibility rule dictates that it be visible, the visibility rule overrides the custom CSS to display that control. As a best practice, use visibility rules instead of custom CSS to hide a control by default.

ProcessMaker supports standard Cascading Style Sheet language (CSS) syntax except for the following.
Use the following syntax to apply CSS styling to a specific control in this ProcessMaker Screen by referencing its CSS Selector Name setting value. Use single quotes (') around the control reference. The reference is case sensitive in the CSS syntax. As a best practice, use the same CSS Selector Name setting value on different controls of the same type to apply the same custom CSS style to all those controls.
[selector='CSS Selector Name Setting that is case sensitive']
Example for a ProcessMaker Screen control with the CSS Selector Name setting value of Submit Form:
/ * Style a control by referencing its CSS Selector Name setting value * /[selector='Submit Form'] {color: blueviolet;}
Use div.page to apply CSS styling to all pages in a ProcessMaker Screen.
Example:
/* Setting CSS for all pages on a ProcessMaker Screen */div.page{background-color: lightblue;}
