Change fonts on a document library view SharePoint 2019

[IainL-Betasoft]

We have a customer who has a requirement where they need to change the default text font colour for the columns in a document library, by default they are a light grey colour but the requirement is to change them to black. The current documentation suggests this can only be done with classic -

Hello @IainL-Betasoft 

you can try to use Column Formatting for that in SP2019:

Ahh yeah, didn't realise this feature had made it to SharePoint 2019. Thanks

@IainL-Betasoft Use "view formatting" instead of "column formatting". Using view formatting you can change font color of multiple columns at a time instead of adding same JSON in all columns. It will also help in case new columns will be created in list in future.

You can use simple JSON like below:

{
  "$schema": "https://developer.microsoft.com/json-schemas/sp/view-formatting.schema.json",
  "additionalRowClass": "ms-fontColor-black"
}

@IainL-Betasoft Kindly ignore my above response as view formatting is currently supported only in SharePoint Online and not supported in SP 2019.

But, if anyone is trying to do same in future in SP online, view formatting is better option for this.
