Button Group Usage The following segment provides instructions for designers and developers regarding the appropriate utilization of this component in various situations. Do: Use a Button Group to consistently align two or more buttons at once. Use Primary Button in combination with Button pure. Order buttons within a group horizontally or vertically, based on their priority. The most important button (primary) should be placed first on the left (horizontal) or top (vertical) of the group following the F pattern for optimal user experience. If no primary action is set, consider emphasizing up to two secondary actions to give them slightly higher priority. Don't: Don't use button groups with too many options, as this can overwhelm users and make it difficult for them to make a choice. Don't use button groups for unrelated actions or options, as this can confuse users and make it difficult for them to find what they're looking for.
Global settingsThemeChanges the theme of the application and any Porsche Design System component. It's possible to choose between forced theme light and dark. It's also possible to use auto, which applies light or dark theme depending on the operating system settings automatically.LightDarkAuto (sync with operating system)DirectionThe dir global attribute in HTML changes the direction of text and other content within an element. It's most often used on the <html> tag to set the entire page's direction, which is crucial for supporting languages that are written from right to left (RTL), such as Arabic and Hebrew. For example, using <html dir="rtl"> makes the entire page display from right to left, adjusting the layout and text flow accordingly.LTR (left-to-right)RTL (right-to-left)Text ZoomTo ensure accessibility and comply with WCAG 2.2 AA standards, it is mandatory for web content to support text resizing up to at least 200% without loss of content or functionality. Using relative units like rem is a best practice for achieving this, as they allow the text to scale uniformly based on the user's browser settings.100%130%150%200%
