I want to change the styles of the today-date cell when the datepicker is opened and focused for the first time.
Right now, when I open the datepicker, the today-date cell has the following style:
As you can see, the 14th day cell has the default material background color applied.
I want to change this specific property. However, when I try to inspect this element, the class is not found since the datepicker focus is lost (the background-color disappears, leaving only the border on the cell).
I have tried playing around with .mat-calendar-body-today:focus
or .mat-calendar-body-hover
but neither of them seem to access the today-date when it is initially focused.
Thanks in advance.
Following up from alin's answer, the table cell class .mat-calendar-body-active
grabbed my attention.
Indeed, this is the class that should be used in combination with .mat-calendar-body-today
, as opposed to .mat-calendar-body-selected
.
I managed to access the today-date cell when datepicker is first focused like so:
/* SCCS alternative */
.mat-calendar-body-active {
.mat-calendar-body-today {
color: red;
background-color: blue;
}
}
/* CSS alternative */
.mat-calendar-body-active > .mat-calendar-body-today {
color: red;
background-color: blue;
}
