Hi Rosy,

I have written this reply based on the assumption that your are using Pega 7.

The best way to style the label is by updating the associated format of the Label in the Skin rule.

I would suggest not to change the Standard Format, as it might be used in lots of other places.

You can create a new custom label format by cloning the Standard format in the skin rule  and update the properties of the format.

This newly created format can then be used in the custom Label format.

Detailed steps on how to do this customization is below:

  Step 1

1. Identify the Skin rule used by your application, you can find the config in ( Open Application -> Presentation) as follows

Step 2:

1. Open the Skin rules and You can view the below screen with various properties and default formats.
2. Click on Save As and Save the skin specific to your ruleset.(We can have the skin defined in the framework layer or application layer as per the requirement).
3. Click on the down arrow next to Skin rules
4. Locate the Label Control

Step 3:

1. All the default label formats will be displayed as below
2. Right click on Standard (Label) - Clone option will be displayed
3. Click on clone

Step 4:

1. Notice that a new label name Standard label 3 has been created as in the below screenshot

Step 5:

1. Click on the label name and select the option Specify Styles radio button.
2. The following snapshot will be displayed, where you can specify the font-size, weight, background-color and most of the CSS properties.
3. You can also used Add- Additional Styles and add more customization.
4. After all the changes, save the skin rule.

Step 6:

1. Open Section for which the new label format needs to be applied.
2. Click on the Label Properties and  click Presentation Tab.
3. Notice the new label created is displayed.

1. Select the format and save the section.
2. The new changes can be viewed.

By doing the Label format changes using the above steps , Pega promotes the re-usability and all the changes related to css will also be maintained in the same place.

Skin rules are quiet powerful and can be customised to present the application with a much better UI.

In the similar way we can also contol the format of Dynamic Layouts, Containers, Repeating Grids etc.

Please let me know if you have further queries.

Regards,
