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)DirectionChanges the direction of HTML elements, mostly used on<html> tag to support languages which are read from right to left like e.g. Arabic.LTR (left-to-right)RTL (right-to-left)AutoText ZoomChanges the text size and values with unit rem or em relatively. This setting can be defined in browser settings for any website or by an application itself on<html> tag. To achieve WCAG 2.2 AA compliance it's obligatory to support text zoom up to at least 200%.100%130%150%200%
