Fonts in Canvas dashboard themes

Ask the Community

Hi @Ian_McLaren,

Good news! Instead of adding CSS to a text block off the canvas, you can now directly insert CSS into Dashboard Themes like this:

PageTheme classic {
  // existing theme properties
  custom_css: @css
    /* your custom CSS rules here */
  ;;
}

Here are a few benefits of this approach:

  • Define once - Use everywhere: Once a CSS snippet is added in a theme, it automatically applies to all dashboards using that theme. So you don’t need to manually add custom CSS to a TextBlock in each dashboard.
  • Scoped Styling: Your CSS is properly scoped to only affect elements within the Canvas Dashboard, ensuring it doesn’t interfere with other parts of the application.
