How to customize the default color primary (#0078d4)?

[BollietMZK]

Hello,

First of all, thank you for your great work and especially the theme customization possibilities.

However, if many things are possible, I did not find how to change the primary color used in the theme, nor its shades.
I am using mgt components in my application which is predominantly red and where there is no blue at all.

How to change the next 3 colors :

• primary (commblue_primary: #0078d4)
• shade10 (commblue_shade10: #106ebe)
• shade20 (commblue_shade20: #005a9e)
  Is there a mechanism ?

Thank you.

Can you share some of the code you are using and where these colors are affected? Thanks!

Thank you for your reply.

You can find below an example of the code:
I use Fluent UI and my application is predominantly red (themePrimary = #c20000).

export default function App() {
  const myTheme = createTheme({
    palette: {
      themePrimary: "#c20000",
      ...
    }
  });

  return (
    <ThemeProvider theme={myTheme}>
      <Stack tokens={{ childrenGap: 10 }}>
        <Login />
        <PersonCard personQuery="[email protected]" />
        <Stack.Item>
          <PrimaryButton text="Button" />
        </Stack.Item>
        <Checkbox defaultChecked label="Checkbox" />
      </Stack>
    </ThemeProvider>
  );
}

The result is below:

I want all the links in blue in PersonCard component in the snapshot to be red (#c20000) like the others Fluent UI components.
How is it possible to do that?

MGT doesn't support yet the Fluent UI Theme Provider. You can use the following documentation from MGT to customize the colors : https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/toolkit/customize-components/style

I know that MGT doesn't support yet the Fluent UI Theme Provider (I use Fluent UI only to show that all my other components are in red with no blue).
And I know that we have to use CSS custom properties to customize the colors.
I actually customize these CSS properties in another file:

  --background-color--hover: #edebe9;
  --background-color-sub2: #f3f2f1;
  --color-sub1: black;
  --line-seperator-color: #edebe9;
  --person-card-background-color: #f3f2f1;
  --person-card-display-name-color: black;
  --tab-background-color--hover: #edebe9;
  --tab-line-color: #edebe9;
  --title-color-sub2: #373737;
  --title-color-subtitle: black;

My question is how to change the next 3 colors that are in blue color by default:

• primary (commblue_primary: #0078d4)
• shade10 (commblue_shade10: #106ebe)
• shade20 (commblue_shade20: #005a9e)

I want to make these 3 properties in red.
I don't find any CSS custom properties for these colors (which are very important because these are the primary colors).

How to change these colors ?

Adding @vogtn to the discussion as he has a lot of experience on theming and on the persona card specifically!

Currently since its a unexposed theme color for the links, so even custom themes wont help here:

microsoft-graph-toolkit/packages/mgt-components/src/components/mgt-person-card/sections/mgt-person-card-contact/mgt-person-card-contact.scss

Line 59 in bb3ec27

color: $commblue_primary;

There isn't much you can do for the current version. However, we could easily add these links as another css property. Something like:
$link-color: var(--link-color, #{$commblue_primary});

Then in your css:

  mgt-person-card {
        --link-color: red;
      }

Just to make sure, are these the only links you need (in the contact section 1,2,3)? Do you also need the smaller cards links (4,5):

Thank you for your reply and your vision.
Wow, you are really reactive :)

The needs are:

• all 1,2,3,4,5 as you said
• the tabs (nav buttons) - 6
• the selected item in the organization tab - 7
• the "return back arrow" when select another item in the organization tab - 8
• the different states if exist (hover, active, etc...)

It would be perfect if it were possible to include the entire shopping list :)
Thank you very much.

Can you confirm the following story contains the requested css properties:
https://mgt.dev/next/pr/1676/?path=/story/components-mgt-person-card-style--custom-css-properties

Let me know if there are others.

[BollietMZK]

It's perfect!
Thank you very much @vogtn !

Hi All,

I'm facing the same issue where all the components use these variables that are in "shared-sass-variables.scss" file and are defined in "Blue". What makes difficult to fit the components in applications that use another palette of colors.

$comm-blue-primary: #023b8f; /* Comm Blue / Primary #0078D4 /
$comm-blue-shade10: #106ebe; / Comm Blue / Shade 10 #106EBE /
$comm-blue-shade20: #005a9e; / Comm Blue / Shade 20 #005A9E */

https://github.com/microsoftgraph/microsoft-graph-toolkit/blob/main/packages/mgt-components/src/styles/shared-sass-variables.scss

Is there any way or workaround that I can use to update these variables to be reflected in the components?

Thank you in advance.
