Usage Do: Reduce the use of shadows within the panels. Rather use a combination of different background colors like base and surface to create a visual hierarchy. Use same style for common components that are arranged in the row. Reserve drop-shadow for elements that require it, such as flyouts, notifications, or navigation menus. Use medium for sticky elements. Use high for element that have high priority. Styles The styles are available as JavaScript and SCSS version. Look at the example above to see how the styles work. JS When using JSS, styled-components etc. JavaScript styles can be imported by: import { … } from '@porsche-design-system/components-{js|angular|react|vue}/styles';. When using vanilla-extract JavaScript styles can be imported by: import { … } from '@porsche-design-system/components-{js|angular|react|vue}/styles/vanilla-extract';. dropShadowHighStyle dropShadowMediumStyle dropShadowLowStyle SCSS SCSS styles can be imported by @use '@porsche-design-system/components-{js|angular|react|vue}/styles' as *; @mixin pds-drop-shadow-high() @mixin pds-drop-shadow-medium() @mixin pds-drop-shadow-low()
Global settingsThemeChanges the theme of the application and any Porsche Design System component. It's possible to choose between forced theme light and dark. It's also possible to use auto, which applies light or dark theme depending on the operating system settings automatically.LightDarkAuto (sync with operating system)DirectionThe dir global attribute in HTML changes the direction of text and other content within an element. It's most often used on the <html> tag to set the entire page's direction, which is crucial for supporting languages that are written from right to left (RTL), such as Arabic and Hebrew. For example, using <html dir="rtl"> makes the entire page display from right to left, adjusting the layout and text flow accordingly.LTR (left-to-right)RTL (right-to-left)Text ZoomTo ensure accessibility and comply with WCAG 2.2 AA standards, it is mandatory for web content to support text resizing up to at least 200% without loss of content or functionality. Using relative units like rem is a best practice for achieving this, as they allow the text to scale uniformly based on the user's browser settings.100%130%150%200%
