Kendo UI 2022 R1 SP2

Button

As of the 2022 R1 SP2 release the shape configuration option of the Button component is no longer available. The Button height is determined by the specified size and font-size, while the width depends on the size, font-size, and text length.

Kendo UI 2022 R1 SP1

Scheduler

As of the 2022 R1 SP1 release the Scheduler exposes a modified keyboard navigation behavior. The main reason behind the change is to make the widget a single Tab stop element on the page. This allows for easier navigation to and away from the Scheduler. For further details on the new keyboard navigation behavior, refer to the Keyboard Navigation demo.

Kendo UI 2022 R1

The R1 2022 release begins to introduce a concept of sizing component capabilities. The components will be able to be configured through:

  • [themeColor]
  • [size]
  • [shape]
  • [rounded]
  • [fillMode]

For more information regarding the concept and reasoning behind it, refer to the article about styling.

Button

All button variables in SASS themes are changed and have prefix $kendo-. For example, $button-* is changed to $kendo-button-*. The reason behind this change is to to prevent overwriting custom variables.

The state variables $button-focused and $button-hovered are changed to $kendo-button-focus and $kendo-button-hover.
