<p style="color:rgb(40,40,40);font-family:'Source Sans Pro', sans-serif;">This link has a great list of things you can control with CSS. It also says that <span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:Verdana, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:13px;">Style Names have changed between 2.1 and 2.2. I am use version 4.2 so some of them have probably changed by now. I was wondering if there is documentation on what all I can style in my reports.</span></p>

I know how to do this manualy in code but I would like to see if I can do this in CSS.</span></p>

<p>I'm not sure there is a comprehensive list of all the current CSS styles/properties that are available. However, I also do not believe there have been extensive changes so I believe most should be the same still.</p>

<p>Here is another CSS resource for BIRT to reference: <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='https://www.eclipse.org/birt/documentation/tutorial/tutorial-11.php'>https://www.eclipse.org/birt/documentation/tutorial/tutorial-11.php</a></p>

<p>I found a solution to my problem. The best answer to this stack over flow question is where I got this code: <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://stackoverflow.com/questions/21922972/birt-report-generic-style-for-all-rows-in-table '>http://stackoverflow.com/questions/21922972/birt-report-generic-style-for-all-rows-in-table </a></p>
<pre class="_prettyXprint _lang-">
sb.append("
if(row['__rownum'] % 2 == 0) {
this.getStyle().backgroundColor ='gray';
this.getStyle().color ='white';
} else {
this.getStyle().backgroundColor ='#c9c9c9';
this.getStyle().color ='black';
}

if(this.getValue() == 'Something' ) {
this.getStyle().backgroundColor ='red'
}
");
data.setOnRender(sb.toString());
</pre>
<p>Notice how these two if statments are a JavaScript string. I just formatted it this way to make it readable for you. This is a link to another question I have on how to stylize a report after the data is already in the report:</p>
