CSS to set currently selected tab on v2 tab layout

Dashboard
1

Apologies if this has been asked. Has anyone worked out how to apply a custom CSS to show the currently selected tab in a v2 tab layout? Currently there is no way to no what tab your on.

The ui-control node sends a payload with the tab name when you switch tabs (msg.name). I use that to trigger different flows for each page.

That is not correct and you can see that in your screenshot. The current tab is highlighted, the underlying HTML looks like this:

<a data-v-dd700828="" class="v-list-item v-list-item--active v-list-item--link v-list-item--nav v-theme--nrdb v-list-item--density-default v-list-item--one-line v-list-item--rounded v-list-item--variant-text" tabindex="-2" href="/nr/dashboard/p1" aria-current="page" data-nav="a6c08cd025d0c2bd"><span class="v-list-item__overlay"></span><span class="v-list-item__underlay"></span><div class="v-list-item__prepend"><!----><i class="mdi-home mdi v-icon notranslate v-theme--nrdb v-icon--size-default" aria-hidden="true" density="default"></i><div class="v-list-item__spacer"></div></div><div class="v-list-item__content" data-no-activator=""><div class="v-list-item-title">P1 (/p1)</div><!----><!----></div><div class="v-list-item__append"><!----><div class="v-list-item__spacer"></div></div></a>

Urm, yes, not terribly helpful! :slight_smile:
The key class seems to be v-list-item--active - so you perhaps simply need to override that if you want to customise the look?

The current tab should have a dark line at the bottom. No idea when this was introduced.

Anyway this seems to work

.v-tab-item--selected {
    background-color: hsl(0, 61.5%, 94.9%);
    border: 2px solid pink;
    border-radius: 10px 10px 0 0 !important;
    border-bottom: none;
}

Ah, I was looking at the wrong "tabs" :slight_smile:

<button data-v-5f213885="" type="button" class="v-btn v-tab-item--selected v-tab--selected v-theme--nrdb v-btn--density-default v-btn--size-default v-btn--variant-text v-tab" tabindex="0" role="tab" aria-selected="true" value="a9c7595384727d2e"><span class="v-btn__overlay"></span><span class="v-btn__underlay"></span><!----><span class="v-btn__content" data-no-activator="">P2G1<div class="v-tab__slider"></div></span><!----><!----></button>

There seem to be 2 possible CSS classes then: v-tab-item--selected and v-tab--selected.

That’s a bug, not a feature. I’ll take a look
