Using CSS variables in Field Styles.

[Nikolay Mikheev]

I want to use color values from the themes for styling fields (Field Styles) in ServiceNow.The main idea of this - to enable users to have personal (themed) settings for coloring priority in tasks.

Here is a questions:

 How to use these variables from Field style? At the moment I couldn't use any CSS variables in styles directly:

    background-color:$search-text-color
    
Any ideas?

Regards, Nikolay.

I don't need to change themes, I need to apply themed color to data fields in list.  Themes in SN apply only for User Interface, not to the data fields in lists. I need to apply colors from themes to data fields according to certain rules. I know how to set the rules - the field "Condition" allows using javascript. But I can`t assign colour in field "Style" because I don`t have access to colour variables from user theme.

It seems to me that correct referencing of CSS variables would be ${$varname} instead of $varname used in Service Portal.

You can search in style sheets found under Content Management > Design > Style Sheets for "${$" and will find some usage of variables defined in System UI > Themes.
