Border Usage Border Radius Do: Use the large border-radius for parent elements such as images and containers. Adapt nested elements within a parent element with a medium border-radius for better visual appearance. Use the small border-radius for all interactive elements (e.g. Buttons). Icons should be designed with a 2px border-radius when feasible. Don't: Don't use other border-radius than the defined tokens. Don't use a border-radius when an element touches the side of a parent element or the browser. Border Width Standardized stroke-widths are used for all components for a consistent appearance. Don't Use borders to create a minimalistic interface. Use other than the defined stroke widths.
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%
