I am not able to format actions that use Display Overlay
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi Steve,
As we’re adopting the material framework, as of this time FAB buttons (Floating Action) or overlay buttons are following the color of the theme.
As we work on improving the editing experience, we’re working to make custom changes a bit easier, with color, information density (e.g. data tables) and font sizing a bit easier, while still maintaining some useful defaults that material provides.
I’m afraid that’s true, you can’t format system generated actions with the format rule. Though I’m thinking why not.
Not system generated only, any action that has “Display overlay” cannot be formatted
Yes that’s true.
Is it a bug?
Actually no. @morgan Any thoughts?
I’m completely thrown by the fact that we can’t apply formatting rules to the overlay actions!
Is this on the road map?? @morgan
Yep, still waiting for this.
Agreed. I thought for sure we were able to do this. We could really use this.
Thanks
Thought I would bump this as it appears this has not been addressed.
I myself added a format rule to display the ‘Delete’ action button as red in an overlay, and although I can add the format rule it does not format the button.
Was there any intent on providing this functionality?
I’ve confirmed again with developers that the inability to change the color of an overlay button is by design. They didn’t offer a justification.

This kinda offers literally 0 justification for why you can’t control the overlay button color. Seems pretty clear that the users want to customize it and buttons already default to the theme colors anyway. Why allow control over every other buttons color except this one very specific situation?
