Control add-in style guide

This article offers a variety of stylistic definitions that are used throughout Dynamics 365, which you can apply to your control add-ins to create an experience that complements Dynamics 365.

Introduction

Control add-ins for Dynamics 365 extend a business solution by surfacing contextual functionality alongside business data. Control add-ins empower users to get more done without costly context switching, no matter which device they access Dynamics 365 from. Typical uses of control add-ins include unique data visualizations, surfacing controls from a third party service, or displaying related content from another data source.

Apart from the functionality, an important aspect of creating a control add-in is making sure the control add-in looks good and blends seamlessly into Dynamics 365. To achieve this, you should follow these basic principles:

  • Apply similar patterns for command, navigation and presentation of data.
  • Favor content over chrome
  • Design for all platforms and input methods.
  • Make it accessible to all users.
  • Make it enjoyable and keep users in control.

Dynamics 365 uses a set of specific colors and fonts. You can employ these colors and fonts in your control add-ins to give it a style that matches the rest of client's user interface.

Colors

Choosing the right color gives the interface visual continuity. Color can be used to convey information to users, indicate interactivity, give feedback, and more. The following sections describe the colors used in Dynamics 365. The colors can be used on all aspects of a UI element, such background, border, text, and more.

Applying colors

To apply a color scheme to the control add-in, you specify CSS rule-sets that use the following properties:

Property Description
color Specifies font color.
background-color Specifies background colors.
border-color Specifies Border colors.

For example, to change the background of a part of your UI to use the Secondary (#505C6D) color, write the following CSS:

.my-ui-part {
    background-color: #505C6D;
}

If you want to change the text color of a caption to the Primary (#00B7C3) color, use the following CSS:

.my-caption {
    color: #00B7C3;
}

Typography

The main goal of typography is to provide clean and readable text in the user interface. Similar to colors, typography can also be used to convey or communicate conditions to the user.

Font Families

Dynamics 365 uses the following font families to specify the typeface and weight for text elements, such as headings, captions, messages, and so on:

Example Name Value
Segoe UI font family. Segoe UI "Segoe UI", "Segoe WP", Segoe, device-segoe, Tahoma, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif
Segoe UI Light font family. Segoe UI Light "Segoe UI Light", "Segoe WP Light", device-segoe-light, "Segoe WP Semilight", "Segoe UI", "Segoe WP", Segoe, Tahoma, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif
Segoe UI Semilight font family. Segoe UI Semilight "Segoe UI Semilight", "Segoe WP Semilight", device-segoe-semilight, "Segoe UI", "Segoe WP", Segoe, Tahoma, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif
Segoe UI Semibold font family. Segoe UI Semibold "Segoe UI Semibold", "Segoe WP Semibold", device-segoe-semibold, "Segoe UI", "Segoe WP", Segoe, Tahoma, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif

Sizes

Dynamics 365 uses the following font sizes for text. The same font family on different clients may apply different sizes.

Example Name Value
largest-plus-font-size (37.5pt). largest-plus-font-size 37.5pt
largest-font-size (30pt). largest-font-size 30pt
large-plus-font-size (22.5pt). large-plus-font-size 22.5pt
large-font-size (18pt). large-font-size 18pt
medium-plus-font-size (15pt). medium-plus-font-size 15pt
medium-font-size (13.5pt). medium-font-size 13.5pt
small-plus-font-size (12pt). small-plus-font-size 12pt
small-font-size (10.5pt). small-font-size 10.5pt
smallest-font-size (9pt). smallest-font-size 9pt

Applying Font Families and Sizes

To apply fonts and sizes to text elements in the UI, you need specify the following CSS properties:

  • Font family. use property font-family.
  • Font size. use property font-size.

For example, to change a UI element for the Web client to use the font family Segoe UI Light and the size Small (10.5pt), write the following CSS:

.my-ui-part {
    font-family: "Segoe UI Light", "Segoe WP Light", device-segoe-light, "Segoe WP Semilight", "Segoe UI", "Segoe WP", Segoe, Tahoma, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
    font-size: 10.5pt;
}

Important

To ensure that the correct fonts are used on devices, do not omit fonts or change the order of the fonts.

Example

This examples illustrates how to use CSS to style a simple HTML UI part of a control add-in. The example includes three UI controls, as shown in the following HTML code:

<div class="addin">
    <div class="control">
        <div class="caption">Name:</div>
        <div class="value">
            <input type="text" name="name">
        </div>
    </div>

    <div class="control">
        <div class="caption">Surname:</div>
        <div class="value">
            <input type="text" name="name">
        </div>
    </div>

    <div class="control">
        <div class="submit">Submit</div>
    </div>
</div>

The following is CSS code for styling the controls, including padding, background colors, and fonts:

.addin {
    padding: 1em;
    background-color: #505C6D; /* Sets the background color to "Secondary" */
}

.addin .control {
     border-color: #00B7C3; /* Sets the border color to "Primary" */
}

.addin .control .caption {
    color: #00B7C3; /* Sets the captions to "Primary" */

    /* Segoe UI Light, small */
    font-family: "Segoe UI Light", "Segoe WP Light", device-segoe-light, "Segoe WP Semilight", "Segoe UI", "Segoe WP", Segoe, Tahoma, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; /* Sets the font of the caption to ""Segoe UI Light" */
    font-size: 10.5pt;
}

.addin .control .value {
    color: #008089; /* Tertiary shade 2 */

    /* Segoe UI, medium */
    font-family: "Segoe UI", "Segoe WP", Segoe, device-segoe, Tahoma, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
    font-size: 12pt;
}

.addin .control .submit {
    color: white; /* Sets the caption text to "white" */
    background-color: #00B7C3; /* Sets the background to "Primary */

    /* Segoe UI Semibold, medium */
    font-family: "Segoe UI Semibold", "Segoe WP Semibold", device-segoe-semibold, "Segoe UI", "Segoe WP", Segoe, Tahoma, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
    font-size: 12pt;
    text-transform: uppercase; /* Sets the caption to use all uppercase letters */
}
