Style grid header cells and column groups.
This page describes the grid's theming system from v32 and before, for the benefit of applications that have not yet migrated to the Theming API. These themes are deprecated and will be removed in a future major version. You may want to visit the new theming docs or check out the migration guide.
The grid exposes many CSS variables starting --ag-header-* for customising header appearance, and when these are not enough you can use CSS classes, in particular ag-header, ag-header-cell, and ag-header-group-cell:
.ag-theme-quartz {
--ag-header-height: 30px;
--ag-header-foreground-color: white;
--ag-header-background-color: black;
--ag-header-cell-hover-background-color: rgb(80, 40, 140);
--ag-header-cell-moving-background-color: rgb(80, 40, 140);
}
.ag-theme-quartz .ag-header {
font-family: cursive;
}
.ag-theme-quartz .ag-header-group-cell {
font-weight: normal;
font-size: 22px;
}
.ag-theme-quartz .ag-header-cell {
font-size: 18px;
}
Header Column Separators and Resize Handles
Header Column Separators appear between every column, whereas Resize Handles only appear on resizeable columns (Group 1 in the example below).
.ag-theme-quartz {
--ag-header-column-separator-display: block;
--ag-header-column-separator-height: 100%;
--ag-header-column-separator-width: 2px;
--ag-header-column-separator-color: purple;
--ag-header-column-resize-handle-display: block;
--ag-header-column-resize-handle-height: 25%;
--ag-header-column-resize-handle-width: 5px;
--ag-header-column-resize-handle-color: orange;
}
Style Header on Filter
Each time a Column Filter is applied to a column, the CSS class ag-header-cell-filtered is added to the header. This can be used for adding style to headers that are filtered.
The example below adds some styling to ag-header-cell-filtered, so when you filter a column you will notice the column header change.
Styling the First and Last Columns
It's possible to style the all first and last column header (Grouped, Non-Grouped and Floating Filters) using CSS by targeting the .ag-column-first and .ag-column-last selectors as follows:
.ag-header-group-cell.ag-column-first {
background-color: #2244CC66;
color: white;
}
.ag-header-cell.ag-column-first {
background-color: #2244CC44;
color: white;
}
.ag-floating-filter.ag-column-first {
background-color: #2244CC22;
}
.ag-header-group-cell.ag-column-last {
background-color: #33CC3366;
}
.ag-header-cell.ag-column-last {
background-color: #33CC3344;
}
.ag-floating-filter.ag-column-last {
background-color: #33CC3322;
}
