Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is a tool to apply formatting to HTML elements, such as fonts, font sizes, and alignments. It enables the web developer to separate contents from formats. MicroStrategy Web uses the CSS files to provide centralized formatting to its web pages.
There are three kinds of CSS files in MicroStrategy:
- Application-wide CSS files in the
/style/mstrsubfolder:mstrTheme.css,mstr.css - Page-specific CSS files in the
stylemstrsubfolder:pageProjects.css,pageLogin.css,pageDesktop.css,pageFolder.css,pageCreateReport.css,pageCreateDocument.css,pageWait.css,pagePrompts.css,promptIndex.css,pageReport.css,pageRW.css, and so on - Browser-specific CSS files are used to handle cross-browser discrepancies
