[Dialog] Change background color with out editing the theme's canvas colour?

[ghost]

Setting contentInnerStyle, contentStyle, or style = {{backgroundColor: "#ededed"}} doesn't seem to change it from white.

I'm also interested by this too. It's impossible to change even by adding a custom class.

I was hoping the style prop would work, but that oddly seems to change the overlayStyle instead.

I have just spent the last several hours plumbing the depths of the Dialog component. It appears that there is a direct child DIV of the 'content' DIV that is unreachable. None of the *style props target this element, but it has essential styles applied to it. These include the background color of the entire dialog, border radius and height.

Funny, we were looking for the same thing at the same time @jcheroske... I'm running down that rabbit hole myself today.

Ok @jcheroske here's what I did:

// Declared a style with important...
.dialogRadiusHack > div:first-child {
  border-radius: 10px 10px 5px 5px !important;
}

//Set a custom style name on the dialog: 
contentClassName="dialogRadiusHack"

!important wins the Internet yet again.

Resolved by the new styling approach in next.

Work's in next with:
CSS:

.paper{
  background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.90) !important;
}

JS/React:

<Paper elevation={4} className='paper'>
