JavaScript Data GridLegacy Style

Handsontable 16.1 introduced a new Classic theme that replaces the legacy styles. The legacy stylesheet will be removed in version 17.0.

About the Legacy style

The legacy CSS file (handsontable.full.min.css (opens new window)) was the default stylesheet up until version 15 (released in December 2024). This style is now considered legacy and will be removed in version 17.0.0.

Limitations of the Legacy Style

The legacy style was built with hardcoded styles that couldn't be customized with CSS variables. The new Classic theme provides the same visual appearance but with the flexibility of CSS variables, making it easier to customize and maintain consistency with your application's design system.

Benefits of Migrating

  • Visual Consistency: The new theme maintains the same visual appearance as the legacy style
  • Future-Proof: The new theme will continue to be supported and enhanced
  • Console Warning: You'll see a deprecation warning if you're still using the legacy style
