Q: Can one css file be produced for just the components selected in ThemeBuilder?

Ideally, we would like to have the option to produce only partial themes for specific components. This will allow to minimize the size of the output CSS/SASS files, which will allow us to lower the size of the end application.

Alternative ways to achieve similar results through manual application builds: https://docs.telerik.com/themebuilder/partial-theme-build

Currently, in ThemeBuilder, each uploaded font must have a unique font family name.

However, in some cases, we would like to add multiple font variants (files) via the same font family name (e.g., all named "Lato") and let the user control them through typography variables (from where users should be able to control the specific weight, type, etc.).

I have a grid with a column that contains clickable text in <a> tags and want it to be obvious to the user that this is clickable, by having the text display in blue.

However, there is a CSS class being applied that is preventing the styling from showing:

.k-grid a {
    color: inherit;
    text-decoration: none;
}

Is it possible for me to modify the styling of these links within ThemeBuilder and not have to add a custom global style override? I have not found any way of changing this.

Thanks

Consider providing public API endpoints for different ThemeBuilder functionalities, such as export options. This will allow users to provide automated distribution of the theme.

Requested through t.1644512

Allow customisation of frozen and locked columns & cells in Grid for more comprehensive component styling.

Currently, you can style only the Operator and the Clear buttons components inside the FilterRow Cell template. It would be great to have the ability to style the rest of the components (e.g. Inputs, NumericTextBox, etc.)

Request Feature...

Either: 1) Give Access To Common SASS modules/methods.

If I am using a primary color for my themebuilder customization and define it as

$my-primary-color = #2a3bd1,

give me the ability to use functions in sass like

• lighten($my-primary-color, 20%) or
• color.change($my-primary-color, $saturation: 50). 
• However you do it

Or: 2) Provide swatches using the current theme colors on color picker.

Or create swatches from the current theme color in the color picker to use as starting points when picking another color representing hover or selected or disabled, etc.

Hello,

I'm trying to update our themebuilder project by exporting metada (v7.0) and then importing into a new v7.2 project, but it fails.

Consider having the option to trigger the automatic migration (for ThemeBuilder Ultimate and Enterprise) and Export options simultaneously for multiple projects.

Benefits as pointed out by a user:

Consider the option to support the Telerik/Kendo hierarchical grids or grid grouping through separate component templates.

For example,

https://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-mvc/grid/hierarchy 

https://www.telerik.com/kendo-angular-ui/components/grid/grouping/basics/ 

The hierarchical grids are visualized with a master row similar to the Grouping Row template. However, it is currently impossible to directly style the hierarchical master row.


Example for grid groups

Greetings,

I would like to delete the custom font named Roboto_embedded from one of my ThemeBuilder projects (ID: ...580b) but I cannot do it.

I also noticed I cannot edit this specific custom font either.

I don't really know how this happened. Maybe that comes from the fact that at some point, I tried creating a CSS font stack in the $kendo-default-typography variable? I noticed the behavior of ThemeBuilder was strange when I tried to do that.

Greetings,

I was trying to use the export/import metadata feature and noticed I couldn't import metadata in a given project if the exported metadata came from a theme whose type (Default, Bootstrap, Material, Fluent, Classic) doesn't match the target project's. Fair enough.

However, I couldn't find any easy way to find out which theme type a given project uses. Currently, I export the metadata and read the project.theme.id key in data.json file. It would be nice to add this piece of information on the ThemeBuilder home dashboard.

I also find it inconvenient to have to create a project first, choose the right theme type and then import. It would be much more efficient to create the project and import in a single operation, e.g. by adding an option to import metadata in the Create New Project modal.

Greetings,

I know it is possible to access these variables in SCSS given the right setup. However users might not always be in position to have that, for various reasons, e.g.:

• a person that doesn't have the time to setup that
• a person that doesn't want to setup that
• a person that doesn't know how to setup that
• a person that isn't authorized to setup that and has access only to the final CSS file

I think it would be nice to make ThemeBuilder available as CSS custom properties (aka "CSS variables"). Some info about this idea (I guess ThemeBuilder uses SASS behind the scenes?): Convert Sass variables to CSS variables · Issue #3091 · sass/sass (github.com)

Regarding the possibly large amount of variables, I think the ones visible in ThemeBuilder would cover the vast majority of cases.

Whether you intend on doing this or not, could you please document how the exported CSS file is generated behind the scenes? I tried reverse-engineering it since I originally wanted to be able to work on SASS code and then obtain the same result as ThemeBuilder. My guess:

1. SASS generates a minified CSS file (with a sourcemap)
2. minified CSS then go through Autoprefixer (PostCSS plugin)
3. minified and autoprefixed CSS then go through calc (PostCSS plugin)

Thanks!

Consider providing a styling template for the Kendo/Telerik Grid with sticky columns

For example:

https://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/controls/grid/columns/sticky-columns#:~:text=Sticky%20columns%20enable%20you%20to,reaches%20left%2Fright%20Grid%20border. 

https://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-mvc/grid/sticky-columns 

https://www.telerik.com/kendo-angular-ui/components/grid/columns/sticky/#:~:text=Columns%20marked%20as%20%22sticky%22%20are,depending%20on%20the%20scrolling%20direction. 

Note:

Currently, in Kendo UI for React a similar concept is the locked columns https://www.telerik.com/kendo-react-ui/components/grid/columns/locked/ 

ThemeBuilder allows styling of Button focus outline (through ::after pseudo element).

This is unfortunately not available for DropDownButton, although the component uses internally the same mechanism for focus outline as Button.

Consider the options for providing a ThemeBuilder template for Kendo Spreadsheet

https://demos.telerik.com/kendo-ui/spreadsheet/index

Create templates or component parts that will allow users to customize the styles of the Upload validation messages through the following selectors:

.k-upload .k-file-validation-message,
.k-upload .k-upload-files .k-file-validation-message,
.k-upload .k-file-success .k-file-validation-message,
.k-upload .k-file-error .k-file-validation-message 

Example: https://stackblitz.com/edit/h2vraq?file=src%2Fmain.vue

Problem: To delete a custom variable in ThemeBuilder, it must be detached from all its use places. However, these places are not immediately clear, and there is no global search option to find them.

Goal: Provide a UI option to find/list all places where a variable is used within a ThemeBuilder project.
