It is not possible to modify the CSS styles within the PrimeFaces Ultima template

Within my JSF project, I am utilizing the ultima template's latest version (ver. 2.0.2). Following the recent update of the project, there seems to have been a change in the CSS due to the presence of this selector:

 * {
  -moz-box-sizing: border-box;
  -webkit-box-sizing: border-box;
  box-sizing: border-box; }

These lines of code appear to negatively impact my JSF project as it causes issues with the command buttons within the data table being cropped. To address this issue, I attempted to remove these lines of code by commenting them out from the _common.scss file. However, even after multiple attempts such as clearing the Google Chrome cache, cleaning the project in Eclipse, and cleaning Wildfly, I still encounter the same problem. The CSS file being loaded is:

http://localhost:8080/myApp/javax.faces.resource/theme.css.xhtml?ln=primefaces-ultima-cyan

How can I resolve this issue?

Answer №1

A useful technique I've employed before is to refrain from modifying the PrimeFaces CSS and instead include my own stylesheet that loads after it - allowing me to customize PrimeFaces styles as needed.

By adjusting the box-sizing property in your CSS file, you can tailor it to suit your requirements.

However, as mentioned by Kukeltje, making global changes may impact other elements on the page. In such cases, you can create a specific class to override styles only for the components that require customization.
