Trying to figure out how to get material-ui themes to work how I want it to, and having some trouble.
what I want is for my expansion panels to have a different arrow color when expanded to make them more visible. The catch is that I need this behavior only on parent expansion panels, and not expansion panels within expansion panels.
Currently I have written my material-ui theme so that only parent expansion panels have their color change when expanded, like so:
My issue is that the black arrow is hard to see against the dark-blue panel summary. I would like to be able to change that color to white, but only when in a parent panel. So basically, whenever an ExpansionPanelSummary is blue, the arrow should be white.
I can't seem to find a CSS control to do what I want. Here is my theme for ExpansionPanelSummary that controls the color (I think my CSS for the arrow should be in here somewhere but I'm not sure):
MuiExpansionPanelSummary: {
root: {
minHeight: "0px",
minWidth: "0px",
"&$expanded": {
//Elevation 1
boxShadow:
"0px 1px 3px 0px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2), 0px 1px 1px 0px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.14), 0px 2px 1px -1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.12)",
minHeight: "0px",
backgroundColor: "#3f51b5",
color: "white"
},
".MuiExpansionPanelDetails-root &$expanded": {
backgroundColor: "transparent",
color: "black"
}
},
content: {
minWidth: "0px",
margin: "8px 0px",
"&$expanded": {
margin: "8px 0px"
}
}
},
Any help or pointers would be appreciated.
Below is one way of achieving this which uses the MuiExpansionPanelSummary-expandIcon
class to target the icon and overrides this back to the default for the nested expansion panel.
import { createMuiTheme } from "@material-ui/core";
const defaultTheme = createMuiTheme();
const myTheme = createMuiTheme({
overrides: {
MuiExpansionPanelSummary: {
root: {
minHeight: "0px",
minWidth: "0px",
"&$expanded": {
//Elevation 1
boxShadow:
"0px 1px 3px 0px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2), 0px 1px 1px 0px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.14), 0px 2px 1px -1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.12)",
minHeight: "0px",
backgroundColor: "#3f51b5",
color: "white",
"& .MuiExpansionPanelSummary-expandIcon": {
color: "white"
}
},
".MuiExpansionPanelDetails-root &$expanded": {
backgroundColor: "transparent",
color: "black",
"& .MuiExpansionPanelSummary-expandIcon": {
color: defaultTheme.palette.action.active
}
}
}
}
}
});
export default myTheme;
