Angular2 material team recently released the MDDialog https://github.com/angular/material2/blob/master/src/lib/dialog/README.md
I'd like to change the looking and feel about the angular2 material's dialog. For example, to change the fixed size of the popup container and make it scrollable, change the background color, so forth. What's the best way to do so? Is there a css that I can play with?

use updateSize() in any function in dialog component. it will change dialog size automatically.
The MatDialogRef provides a handle on the opened dialog. It can be used to close the dialog and to receive notifications when the dialog has been closed. Any notification Observables will complete when the dialog closes.
Approach: First we need to import 'MatDialog' from '@angular/material/dialog' and we need to create an instance for it in the constructor. Using this instance we can open the dialog box component. Now create a separate component for the dialog and write code as per the requirements.
There are two ways which we can use to change size of your MatDialog component in angular material
1) From Outside Component Which Call Dialog Component
import { MatDialog, MatDialogConfig, MatDialogRef } from '@angular/material';
dialogRef: MatDialogRef <any> ;
constructor(public dialog: MatDialog) { }
openDialog() {
this.dialogRef = this.dialog.open(TestTemplateComponent, {
height: '40%',
width: '60%'
});
this.dialogRef.afterClosed().subscribe(result => {
this.dialogRef = null;
});
}
2) From Inside Dialog Component. dynamically change its size
import { MatDialog, MatDialogConfig, MatDialogRef } from '@angular/material';
constructor(public dialogRef: MatDialogRef<any>) { }
ngOnInit() {
this.dialogRef.updateSize('80%', '80%');
}
use updateSize() in any function in dialog component. it will change dialog size automatically.

Content in md-dialog-content is automatically scrollable.
You can manually set the size in the call to MdDialog.open
let dialogRef = dialog.open(MyComponent, {
height: '400px',
width: '600px',
});
Further documentation / examples for scrolling and sizing: https://material.angular.io/components/dialog/overview
Some colors should be determined by your theme. See here for theming docs: https://material.angular.io/guide/theming
If you want to override colors and such, use Elmer's technique of just adding the appropriate css.
Note that you must have the HTML 5 <!DOCTYPE html> on your page for the size of your dialog to fit the contents correctly ( https://github.com/angular/material2/issues/2351 )

With current version of Angular Material (6.4.7) you can use a custom class:
let dialogRef = dialog.open(UserProfileComponent, {
panelClass: 'my-class'
});
Now put your class somewhere global (haven't been able to make this work elsewhere), e.g. in styles.css:
.my-class .mat-dialog-container{
height: 400px;
width: 600px;
border-radius: 10px;
background: lightcyan;
color: #039be5;
}
Done!

You can inspect the dialog element with dev tools and see what classes are applied on mdDialog.
For example, .md-dialog-container is the main classe of the MDDialog and has padding: 24px
you can create a custom CSS to overwrite whatever you want
.md-dialog-container {
background-color: #000;
width: 250px;
height: 250px
}
In my opinion this is not a good option and probably goes against Material guide but since it doesn't have all features it has in its previous version, you should do what you think is best for you.
