Usage of CSS3 @media print Rule in RAP [message #1776624]

We know how to use CSS for customizing RAP applications introducing a special CSS file, but also know that this CSS file is specific for RAP and you cannot put into it what you would put into a standard JEE CSS3 file.
For example you cannot use the CSS3 '@media print' Rule
https://www.w3schools.com/cssref/css3_pr_mediaquery.asp

We would like to set some customization when the user does Ctrl-P to print the page, e.g. scaling to 50% all the page content.
In a standard JEE approach you could use a CSS3 '@media print' Rule to perform this.
In RAP how could we link a standard JEE CSS file to the HTML application page or alternatively how can we set attributes for the '@media print' output?

Thank you very much
Vincenzo

Hi Vincenzo,
standard CSS file can be loaded with ClientFileLoader client service.

HTH,

Hi Ivan,
thank you very much.
Unfortunately we are tied to RAP 3.0.2, since Java 8 is not available on the server's customer.
Is there some way/hack to register a standard CSS file before RAP 3.1 ?
Thank you very much.
Vincenzo

You could use the org.eclipse.rap.ui.branding extension point to load a body html fragment with Javascript to load your CSS file. The contents of the file specified gets put in the <body> tag of the start page.
