Theming the content area

The main content area of a page (container with the data-role="content" attribute) should be themed by adding the data-theme attribute to the data-role="page" container to ensure that the background colors are applied to the full page, regardless of the content length. (If you add the data-theme attribute to the content container, the background color will stop after the content. So there may be a gap in color between the content and the end of the page.)

Additionally, the content area of a collapsible can be themed to match the theme of the collapsible header using the data-content-theme attribute.

<div data-role="page" data-theme="a" data-content-theme="a">

Theming collapsible blocks

To set the color of the collapsible header, add the data-theme attribute to the collapsible container. The icons can be set with the data-collapsed-icon attribute for the collapsed state and the data-expanded-icon attribute for the expanded state of a collapsible. The body is themable through the data attribute data-content-theme.

<div data-role="collapsible" data-collapsed="true" data-theme="a">
