Servoy supports the use of HTML cascading style sheets (CSS 3.0) for styling the applications. In order to allow a more powerful way to interact with CSS syntax Servoy also support a compiler for Less files.

CSS Overview

CSS is a plain text file that contains the style that is applied to every component that can be present in a form and the style of the form itself.

...

• Adds to the consistency of the user interface; form elements across the application can use the same styles.
• Gives the developer to make style changes over many/all forms by changing a single value in the CSS.
• Style sheets can be used over multiple applications, adding consistency to the all the company's applications.
• Adds consistency to an application in team development, making it easier for development teams to use the same styling on all forms.
• Style sheets can be changed programmatically, allowing a developer to change styles to different users' taste or to have periodic style changes in their applications. See overrideStyle function for more details.

Less Overview

Less (stands for Leaner Style Sheets) is a backwards-compatible language extension for CSS that that helps you write .css that is more dynamic. It supports variables and other helpful concepts. In Servoy Developer the .less file will compile  into an actual .css automatically. For a detailed documentation about Less language see the Official Documentation for Less.
