Note: This release is in preview. Features described here don’t become generally available until the latest general availability date that Salesforce announces for this release. Before then, and where features are noted as beta, pilot, or developer preview, we can’t guarantee general availability within any particular time frame or at all. Make your purchase decisions only on the basis of generally available products and features.

Styling Apps

An app is a special top-level component whose markup is in a .app resource. Just like any other component, you can put CSS in its bundle in a resource called <appName>.css.

For example, if the app markup is in notes.app, its CSS is in notes.css.

When viewed in Salesforce for Android, iOS, and Lightning Experience, the components include styling that matches those visual themes. For example, the lightning:button includes the slds-button_neutral class to display a neutral style.

Styles added to Lightning components in Salesforce for Android, iOS, and Lightning Experience don’t apply to components in standalone apps.
