Using the CSS Styles Panel

CSS Styles visual editor with instant preview functionality for rapid design.

Wappler has multiple ways to style your pages. From the App Structure properties panel using the built in pre-configured Bootstrap styles, to the Design panel which gives you easier custom CSS style control. We also offer more granular adjustments of the Styles panel which will give you full control of any and all CSS style properties and attributes you may need.

Where to find the CSS Styles panel

In order to use the visual CSS Styles integrated in Wappler you just need to open it by clicking Styles (1) and then select the element you’d like to style (2).

How to add a new style property

You can add a new style property, edit an existing style or remove a property from the selected element. Choose whether to add the style inline from the element.style {} rule, or in an existing CSS file, or choose whether to attach a CSS file you already have, or create a new CSS file and set the rule within.
