Customizing the look and feel of your app

When you created an Ionic application using one of the Ionic templates, you would have noticed by now that it comes with some built-in default CSS styles. Many times you will want to know how you can add your own colors and styles while keeping some of the built-in Ionic styles.

Ionic styles with SASS

This is well thought out by the Ionic team and for this reason, they actually created all their CSS styles using SCSS. SCSS is an independent technology based on SASS that lets you write CSS in an object-oriented way which then gets compiled into CSS. SCSS is a really cool way to write CSS rules as it allows us to create variables and use them to create our style sheet. If you are completely new to SCSS and you want to see some brief information about SCSS, feel free to visit http://sass-lang.com.

Now, let's have a look at the folder structure of an Ionic project once more with customization of our styles with SCSS in mind.
