This style guide is a living document meant to assist both Episerver and external developers explore our theme and get an overview of what classes and styles are available. It is meant to focus on the graphical and CSS aspects of the Sleek theme and as such will not contain Dojo implementation examples. If you feel there's anything missing, or find examples that do not work in your implementation - feel free to contact us at styleguide@episerver.com.
The style guide reflects the colors and styles introduced in CMS UI 11.21.0. You can find an older version here.
Headings are available in sizes h1 to h4, and they are also available as corresponding classes for use where h-elements are not appropriate
<h1>h1 heading</h1>
<h2>h2 heading</h2>
<h3>h3 heading</h3>
<h4>h4 heading</h4>
As long as the .Sleek
class is applied to the <body>
tag you should not have to add any CSS for default text formatting. If you need to apply styles outside of the .Sleek
scope then use
color: #01062B;
font: 14px Barlow, sans-serif;
For explanative or supplemental strings you can use the class .epi-secondaryText
or the variable @text-color-secondary
.
If things feel unclear, you can re-style the link using the class .epi-visibleLink
.
Additionally, there's the .epi-functionLink
class that is meant to be used when triggering a function, for instance replacing a button with a link.
Color palettes have been designed to address a number of key areas: text legibility, use on light and dark backgrounds with different size elements, and to show visual feedback and hierarchy. These palettes are shared between Episerver products, websites and marketing material.
Use these colors whenever possible. We know it isn't always applicable, and leave the use of color variations to the designers discretion.
The baseline for Episerver application icons is 16x16px in PNG 24 format. There are other formats as well but these are used infrequently and should not be viewed as standard.
You should primarily use our existing icons, but above all you need to make sure they still make sense to the user. If you can't find one that's applicable, then feel free to create a new one, in which case you should strictly adhere to the guidelines for each type of icon outlined below.
Action icons should be as simple as possible in their shape and structure. You should strive to use established symbols and patterns when creating new icons. Try to avoid overly complex or compound ideas.
All action icons are available in 16x16px, while only some are available in 24x24px versions as well.
Action icons are primarily used for buttons, context menus and other action elements. Note: They are not used in cases where the same type of icon is rendered repeatedly.
We encourage designers to combine icons and text if an icon is a bit complex. By doing this, users will learn to recognize icons and their functions.
Object icons represent different object and item types within Episerver applications. They are richer in detail and color, which makes them easier to distinguish. They boost the vividness, but at the same time increase visual clutter so use responsibility. All object icons are available in 16x16px and 32x32px versions.
Object icons are used in trees, lists, grids etc. where icons are rendered repeatedly.
Use colors with similar hue and saturation levels (at designers discretion) when creating new object icons.
Notification icons are commonly used in dialogs, toolbars, pop outs and other notification elements.
