Segmented Control The p-segmented-control component is similar to the native select element while showing all available options right away. It even behaves like a select where it can be controlled by setting the current value. However, it is not required and you could purely rely on the change event. Visually the p-segmented-control displays all options in equal size based on its largest option. When the p-segmented-control component is used within a form, it utilizes the ElementInternals API, which has limited browser support. Each option needs to be rendered by using a p-segmented-control-item child component where the value property is mandatory in order to emit a useful change event.

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%
