    <para>In order to redefine styles for all <emphasis role="bold"><property>&lt;rich:panel&gt;</property></emphasis> components on a page using CSS, it&apos;s enough to create classes with the
      same names (possible classes could be found in the table <link linkend="tab_cn11">above</link>) and define necessary properties in them. An example is placed below:</para>

    <para>
      <emphasis role="bold">Example:</emphasis>

    <para>In the example a body background color was changed.</para>
    <para>Also it’s possible to change styles of particular <emphasis role="bold"><property>&lt;rich:panel&gt;</property></emphasis> component. In this case you should create own style classes and use them in corresponding <emphasis role="bold"

    <para>The <emphasis><property>&quot;bodyClass&quot;</property></emphasis> attribute for <emphasis role="bold"
