Semi-Automated Migration Tool 🤖

To help with the migration, we also provide a semi-automated migration tool that scans your project repo for old code and recommends replacements.

This wiki page documents all of the changes to @itwin/itwinui-css with version 1.0. This includes things like component name changes, component structure changes, visual changes, file renames and moves, and deprecation.

NOTE: The File Reference Changes and HTML Changes are breaking changes that must be updated by users.

General Changes

  • The @itwin/itwinui-css package is now CSS-only. Sass files are no longer part of the deliverable.
  • A new @itwin/itwinui-variables package has been introduced to replace Sass variables. You can see the changes made to iTwinUI variables recently at the iTwinUI variables migration guide.
  • Scoped themes support, allowing styling only part of the page or mixing themes in different parts of the page.
  • We have officially ended support of Internet Explorer.
  • The prioritized font has changed. The sans font now prioritizes 'Noto Sans' and the mono font now prioritizes 'Noto Sans Mono'. The previous fonts have not been deprecated. See the updated list here.
  • Line height has changed from 22px to --iui-size-l (24px). This change visually affects most components.
  • All four theme colors have been updated.
  • Rounded corners in most components (using --iui-border-radius-1).
  • More consistent elevation by ensuring lighter backgrounds (--iui-color-background) appear above darker ones (--iui-color-background-backdrop).
  • Baseline height has increased by 1px, resulting in height changes in many components.
  • Switched all sizes from px to rem to respect base font-size set in user preferences.
