| |  | Liferay 5 uses, for its own user interface, some of the same jQuery UI and Themeroller class names used in the ACE components, without taking measures to avoid affecting other contents on the page that use the same CSS class names. This situation causes some ACE components to not look as intended. Unfortunately, it is not possible to come up with a proper fix for this situation, since both sets of rules (ACE's and Liferay's) try to modify the same set of CSS class names, and whichever is loaded last on the page overrides the other. However, there is a workaround for this problem and is described below. |

| | # Load the following style element somewhere in the body of the page. It might be better to place it just before the wrapper {{<div>}} of the previous step. It might also be convenient to do this in every portlet that contains ACE components. |

| | # The components that are affected are basically all the menu components, dialog and resizable. In the case of dialog the theme is affected, so you may want to customize the look of the dialog according to your theme by modifying the appropriate rule above. You can also modify any other aspect of ACE components by adding a new rule preceded with the {{.ace}} class name. This way, you can be sure that such change won't affect other aspects of the Liferay 5 UI. |
