CSS

You can override all the class names injected by Material-UI thanks to the classes prop. This prop accepts the following keys:

Name Description
root Styles applied to the root element.
scrollPaper Styles applied to the container element if scroll="paper".
scrollBody Styles applied to the container element if scroll="body".
container Styles applied to the container element.

Have a look at the overriding styles with classes section and the implementation of the component for more detail.

If using the overrides key of the theme, you need to use the following style sheet name: MuiDialog.

Inheritance

The properties of the Modal component are also available. You can take advantage of this behavior to target nested components.

Notes
