CSS
You can override all the class names injected by Material-UI thanks to the classes property.
This property accepts the following keys:
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| paper | Styles applied to the Paper component. |
| list | Styles applied to the List component via MenuList. |
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: MuiMenu.
Inheritance
The properties of the Popover component are also available. You can take advantage of this behavior to target nested components.
Notes
The component can cause issues in StrictMode.
