How to create your own theme for .NET MAUI Button (SfButton)?

This article guides you through the process of creating a custom theme for the .NET MAUI Button. Beyond applying default Dark or Light themes, you can customize your theme as desired.

<Application xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/dotnet/2021/maui"
             xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2009/xaml"
             xmlns:syncTheme="clr-namespace:Syncfusion.Maui.Themes;assembly=Syncfusion.Maui.Core"
             xmlns:buttons="clr-namespace:Syncfusion.Maui.Buttons;assembly=Syncfusion.Maui.Buttons">
    <Application.Resources>
        <syncTheme:SyncfusionThemeDictionary>
            <syncTheme:SyncfusionThemeDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
                <buttons:SfButtonStyles/>
                <ResourceDictionary>
                    <x:String x:Key="SfButtonTheme">CommonTheme</x:String>
                    <Color x:Key="SfButtonNormalBackground">LightYellow</Color>
                    <Color x:Key="SfButtonNormalTextColor">Red</Color>
                    <Color x:Key="SfButtonNormalStroke">Green</Color>
                </ResourceDictionary>
            </syncTheme:SyncfusionThemeDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
        </syncTheme:SyncfusionThemeDictionary>
    </Application.Resources>
