Where should I add Custom CSS?

Question

What steps are required to start adding custom CSS to dbFront?

Answer 1

dbFront allows you to specify a custom CSS file for the installation or you can specify a custom CSS file for each individual Database.

Site CSS File

To setup the installation CSS file you would:

• Open the settings [Help] / [Settings] / [Website],
• Set "Site Css File" to the value "css/customSite.css",
• Create or edit the CSS class file c:\inetpub\dbFront\css\customSite.css.

Database specific CSS File

It is also possible to use a database specific CSS file. The same CSS file can be used for multiple databases.

• Open the Database Preferences,
• Set the "Custom CSS File" to something like "css/dbFinance.css",
• Create or edit the CSS class file c:\inetpub\dbFront\css\dbFinance.css.
