angular - Angular2 Material Dialog css, dialog size

Question

Angular2 material team recently released the MDDialog https://github.com/angular/material2/blob/master/src/lib/dialog/README.md

I'd like to change the looking and feel about the angular2 material's dialog. For example, to change the fixed size of the popup container and make it scrollable, change the background color, so forth. What's the best way to do so? Is there a css that I can play with?

Answer 1

You can inspect the dialog element with dev tools and see what classes are applied on mdDialog.

For example, .md-dialog-container is the main classe of the MDDialog and has padding: 24px

you can create a custom CSS to overwrite whatever you want

.md-dialog-container {
      background-color: #000;
      width: 250px;
      height: 250px
}

In my opinion this is not a good option and probably goes against Material guide but since it doesn't have all features it has in it's previous version, you should do what you think is best for you.
