In this article, you will find information about the styling options and rendering of the Kendo UI Button.

Options
The Kendo UI Button supports the following styling options:
-
size—configures the overall size of the component. -
themeColor—configures what color will be applied to the component. -
fillMode—configures how the color is applied to the component. -
rounded—configures the border radius of the component.
Size
The size option controls how big or small the rendered button looks. The structure of the class is k-button-{size}.
The following values are available for the size option:
-
sm—small size -
md—medium size -
lg—large size -
none—unset
The default size value is medium and is applied to the button element through the k-button-md class.
<button class="k-button k-button-md" >
</button>
FillMode
The fillMode option controls the way the color is applied to the rendered button. The structure of the class is k-button-{fillMode}.
The following values are available for the fillMode option:
solidoutlineflatlinkclearnone
The default fillMode value is solid and is applied to the button element through the k-button-solid class.
<button class="k-button k-button-solid" >
</button>
ThemeColor
The themeColor option controls the color that will be applied to the rendered Button. As applying themeColor is closely related to the fillMode, the structure of the class name for the themeColor is composite - k-button-{fillMode}-{themeColor}.
The following values are available for the themeColor option:
baseprimarysecondarytertiaryinfosuccesswarningerrordarklightinversenone
The default themeColor value is base. A button with default fillMode and themeColor will have k-button-solid-base class applied.
<!-- Button with default fillMode and themeColor -->
<button class="k-button k-button-solid k-button-solid-base" >
</button>
<!-- Button with default fillMode and 'primary' themeColor -->
<button class="k-button k-button-solid k-button-solid-primary" >
