1 Introduction
There is a customizable settings.json file for the Atlas UI that can be found in the theme folder of your Mendix project.
This how-to will teach you how to do the following:
- Change Atlas UI to Old Mendix UI Framework
- Extend design properties applied in Studio
2 Extending Design Properties Applied in Studio
Properties in the Design section of Studio allow users to change the position and styling of widgets on a page. Atlas UI contains a design properties file that can be extended with your own custom design properties.
You can find the design properties in the theme folder > settings.json file of the Mendix project.
The example below shows the design properties of a "Button".
"name"– the name of the design property"type"– the type of the design property (for example,DropdownorToggle)"description"– a brief explanation of the design property"options"– the array of options that shows the name and CSS class specified in the Sass files for Atlas UI
These design properties are used in the Design section of Studio.
When you apply a new class in settings.json file, make sure that this class exists in the scss file. For example, the detailed Sass information for buttons can be found in this file: /theme/styles/sass/lib/components/_buttons.scss
