The Kendo UI Material Theme is a SCSS-based theme for the Kendo UI components which is based on the Material design guidelines.
Kendo UI Material Theme is available as an npm package.
If you don't need to apply any customization to the theme, you can can reference the precompiled CSS directly from unpkg CDN:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://unpkg.com/@progress/kendo-theme-material/dist/all.css" />
While using the precompiled CSS file is faster than compiling the theme from the source code, the approach has the two drawbacks: it includes CSS for all components; it does not provide options for theme customization through SCSS variables (which is possible when you build the theme from the source code) because the theme is already compiled.
If you prefer, or you need to customize the theme, you can install it:
npm install --save @progress/kendo-theme-material
and then import it in your project styles:
// Import the entire theme
@use "@progress/kendo-theme-material/scss/all.scss" as *;
For more information on how to implement the Material theme in your project, refer to the following articles:
You can customize Kendo UI Material Theme both in terms of what gets compiled and how the theme will look.
In your custom scss file, you can import the entirety of the theme, by importing scss/all.scss or pick just the styles for the components you need. The files for individual components:
// Import only Button and Grid styles
@use "@progress/kendo-theme-material/scss/index.scss" as *;
@include kendo-button--styles();
@include kendo-grid--styles();
Kendo UI Material Theme provides many variables for customization. There are variables that control globally used theme colors like $primary, $secondary, $success, $error etc.; variables for all components such as $component-text, $component-bg; as well as variables for individual components such as $grid-bg, $tabstrip-font-size and so on.
Most component variables link to higher abstracted generic variables. For instance, the background of the grid component can be customized both from $component-bg and $grid-bg, with the latter referencing the former.
We have more than 2000 variables, so it's hard to list them all. We've tried to make variable names as coherent as possible. For instance, all variables ending in -bg control background color; all variables ending in -text control text color.
Here is a quick example on how to customize:
@use "@progress/kendo-theme-material/scss/all.scss" as * with (
$kendo-button-bg: #ff0000,
$kendo-font-size: 20px
);
CSS can be complicated due to cascades (that's what C stands for). If there are multiple frameworks loaded on a single page, it is quite possible that their styles will interfere with one another.
To avoid that, we've prefixed all our class names with k- e.g. k-grid, k-hidden etc., with the exception of handling for hidden attribute, which will hide the element that has it.
Some frameworks, like Bootstrap and Tailwind, touch global styles to establish a sort of baseline -- we call that normalizing. One such styles is the following bit, which makes dimensions (width and height) behave in a specific way:
*, ::after, ::before {
box-sizing: border-box;
}
We've ensured that our themes work correctly with both those styles being present and absent.
However, even when being cautious, neglecting the scope and cascade of CSS, that may result in unexpected side effects. Oddly enough, most of the cases when that happens, everything is expected, at least from CSS point of view, but it can be still frustrating.
For instance, it cannot be expected that adding form-control from Bootstrap to a Kendo UI Combobox will make the component behave and look like a Bootstrap form component. The scope and cascade are different -- form-control is intended to be added to pure input elements, where as a Kendo UI Combobox has a different structure and styles will not be applied correctly.
Another example is adding bg-red-400 from Tailwind to a Kendo UI Button, depending on the exact stylesheet order that class may or may not be applied.
As a general rule, it should not be expected that mixing at matching classes from different frameworks will yield the desired results.
