CSS

The CSS feature in WalkMe allows for full customization of Walk-Thrus and Walk-Thru steps. Before entering the rules in the Customize CSS window, you can check if the CSS rule works by inserting it in the Custom CSS tab in the Flow Tracker.

Use Cases

CSS use cases include the following:

• Insert an image or logo in a balloon
• Customize a Welcome ShoutOut for your site
• Change the width of or remove arrows from a balloon
• Change the text of a Next button

How It Works

CSS is a style sheet language used for describing the formatting of a document written in a markup language. When writing CSS, you will need to refer to the different components, or elements of balloons found in WalkMe apps. When typing into the Custom CSS window, WalkMe displays auto-complete options for selectors, properties, and values.

CSS can be added locally via the Rich Text Editor, or globally from the Customize menu accessed in the Admin Bar. Before entering the rules in the Customize CSS window, test it in the Custom CSS tab in the Flow Tracker.

Configuring Balloon Components

Each Balloon includes a number of components (elements) that can be customized with CSS. For example, you can target the title section of a balloon by using this class: .walkme-custom-balloon-title (see below for a full list of classes).

Global vs. Local Rules For Balloons

CSS can be applied globally or locally. Local CSS overrides all other design and can be applied from the Rich Text Editor in a balloon’s Interaction menu:

Global CSS can be added in the Customize menu:

Using the local CSS editor (Rich Text Editor) makes it easy to customize a single ShoutOut. If you are customizing a single ShoutOut on the global level, you must enter the ShoutOut’s ID* before the class that identifies the balloon section (i.e., on the local level: .walkme-custom-balloon-title; on the global level: #walkme-balloon-XXXXXXX.walkme-custom-balloon-title).

*Pro-Tip: For Walk-Thrus, the ID can be found in the Walk-Thru Settings Menu under Advanced Settings:

Using !Important

By default, the WalkMe theme design overrides any other design changes to a balloon or Walk-Thru. In order for CSS to be applied, the CSS rule must contain !important ensure that it overrides the default styling.

For example:
#walkme-balloon-1760356 .walkme-custom-balloon-title {
color: #000 !important;
}
