CSS Styling

Overview

Tabulator is built using an extensive set of CSS classes to make styling your tables as easy as possible.

CSS Classes

The tables below outline the key classes involved in styling Tabulator. You can include your own custom CSS after importing the library to customise its look and feel

Selector Specificity
The lists below only describe the the roles of each class, not the specificity required to override it. In order to change the table styling after the stylesheet has been imported it is recommended that you use the developer tools in the browser to check the exact CSS combinators needed to override a specific property
