agent="chat-customization-css"at/api/copilotkit(neutral assistant cell) - Note: the demo source contains no
data-testidattributes. Checks below rely on CopilotKit built-in class names (copilotKitChat,copilotKitMessages,copilotKitMessage,copilotKitUserMessage,copilotKitAssistantMessage,copilotKitInput) scoped under the.chat-css-demo-scopewrapper defined intheme.css
- Navigate to
/demos/chat-customization-css; verify the page renders within 3s with a single centered<CopilotChat />container inside a.chat-css-demo-scopewrapper (max-width 4xl, rounded corners viarounded-2xl) - Verify the chat input is visible with a textarea placeholder (default CopilotKit placeholder, e.g. "Type a message")
- Send "Hello" and verify an assistant text response appears within 10s
- Verify the input clears after send and a user-message bubble is appended to the transcript
- In DevTools, inspect the
.chat-css-demo-scopeelement and verifygetComputedStyle(el).getPropertyValue('--copilot-kit-primary-color').trim()equals#ff006e - Verify
--copilot-kit-background-coloris#fff8f0,--copilot-kit-secondary-coloris#fde047, and--copilot-kit-separator-coloris#ff006e - Verify the
.copilotKitChatbackground renders the themed cream color#fff8f0(not the default white/neutral)
- Send "Hi there"; locate the newly rendered
.copilotKitMessage.copilotKitUserMessagebubble - Verify its
background-imagecomputed style starts withlinear-gradient(135deg, rgb(255, 0, 110)(i.e.#ff006e) and its textcolorisrgb(255, 255, 255) - Verify
font-familycontainsGeorgia,font-weightis700, andborder-radiusis22px 22px 4px 22px - Verify the bubble has a 2px solid border in
#ff6fa5and a pink drop shadow (box-shadowincludesrgba(255, 0, 110, 0.35))
- After the agent responds, locate the
.copilotKitMessage.copilotKitAssistantMessagebubble - Verify its
background-colorcomputed style isrgb(253, 224, 71)(i.e.#fde047) and textcolorisrgb(30, 27, 75)(i.e.#1e1b4b) - Verify
font-familycontainsJetBrains Mono/Fira Code/Menlo/Consolas(monospace stack) - Verify the bubble uses a boxy shape with
border-radius: 4px 22px 22px 22px, a2px solid rgb(30, 27, 75)border, and a hard offset shadow4px 4px 0 rgb(30, 27, 75)
- Verify the
.copilotKitInputelement hasbackground-color: rgb(254, 243, 199)(i.e.#fef3c7), a3px dashed rgb(255, 0, 110)border, andborder-radius: 18px - Verify the inner
textareauses aGeorgiaserif font at1.1rem, with text color#2c1810 - Verify the placeholder text renders in italic
#c2185b(type-drain the textarea to expose the placeholder)
- Send a second message ("Tell me a joke"); wait for the assistant reply
- Verify both the new user bubble (pink gradient, serif) and the new assistant bubble (amber, monospace, boxy) retain the same computed styles as round 1 — no fallback to default CopilotKit theme between rounds
- Verify the
.copilotKitMessagescontainer continues to use theGeorgiaserif font family and the#fff8f0background through scrolling
- Type a multi-line message using Shift+Enter and verify Enter submits, Shift+Enter inserts a newline (same as a default
<CopilotChat />) - Verify the agent's response streams token-by-token into the amber assistant bubble without the theme resetting mid-stream
- Attempt to send an empty message; verify it is a no-op (no user bubble added)
- Send a ~500-character message; verify it wraps inside the pink user bubble without horizontal scroll, and the bubble still respects the hot-pink gradient + serif styling
- With the backend stopped, send a message; verify a visible error path surfaces in the UI and DevTools → Console shows no uncaught errors caused by the themed styles
- Chat loads within 3 seconds; plain-text response within 10 seconds
- All eight
--copilot-kit-*CSS variables fromtheme.cssresolve on.chat-css-demo-scope - User bubbles: hot pink gradient, white bold serif text, asymmetric rounded corners, 2px pink border, shadow
- Assistant bubbles: amber
#fde047background, monospace dark text, boxy corners, 2px dark border, hard offset shadow - Input: cream background, 3px dashed pink border, serif font, italic pink placeholder
- No flash of unstyled content between the default CopilotKit stylesheet and
theme.css; no uncaught console errors
