how to change bootstrap version 4 button color
2019 Update for Bootstrap 4.1+
Now that Bootstrap 4 uses SASS, you can easily change only the button color using the button-variant
mixins. Since you only want to change the primary button color, and not the entire primary theme color, you need to use the button-variant
mixins in SASS. You can set whatever $mynewcolor
and/or lighten()
and darken()
percentages you'd like.
$mynewcolor:teal;
.btn-primary {
@include button-variant($mynewcolor, darken($mynewcolor, 7.5%), darken($mynewcolor, 10%), lighten($mynewcolor,5%), lighten($mynewcolor, 10%), darken($mynewcolor,30%));
}
.btn-outline-primary {
@include button-outline-variant($mynewcolor, #222222, lighten($mynewcolor,5%), $mynewcolor);
}

This SASS compiles into the following CSS...
.btn-primary{color:#fff;background-color:teal;border-color:#005a5a}
.btn-primary:hover{color:#fff;background-color:#004d4d;border-color:#009a9a}
.btn-primary:focus,.btn-primary.focus{box-shadow:0 0 0 .2rem rgba(0,90,90,0.5)}
.btn-primary.disabled,.btn-primary:disabled{color:#fff;background-color:teal;border-color:#005a5a}
.btn-primary:not(:disabled):not(.disabled):active,.btn-primary:not(:disabled):not(.disabled).active,.show>.btn-primary.dropdown-toggle{color:#fff;background-color:#00b3b3;border-color:#000}
.btn-primary:not(:disabled):not(.disabled):active:focus,.btn-primary:not(:disabled):not(.disabled).active:focus,.show>.btn-primary.dropdown-toggle:focus{box-shadow:0 0 0 .2rem rgba(0,90,90,0.5)}
.btn-outline-primary{color:teal;background-color:transparent;background-image:none;border-color:teal}.btn-outline-primary:hover{color:#222;background-color:#009a9a;border-color:teal}
.btn-outline-primary:focus,.btn-outline-primary.focus{box-shadow:0 0 0 .2rem rgba(0,128,128,0.5)}
.btn-outline-primary.disabled,.btn-outline-primary:disabled{color:teal;background-color:transparent}
.btn-outline-primary:not(:disabled):not(.disabled):active,.btn-outline-primary:not(:disabled):not(.disabled).active,.show>.btn-outline-primary.dropdown-toggle{color:#fff;background-color:#009a9a;border-color:teal}
.btn-outline-primary:not(:disabled):not(.disabled):active:focus,.btn-outline-primary:not(:disabled):not(.disabled).active:focus,.show>.btn-outline-primary.dropdown-toggle:focus{box-shadow:0 0 0 .2rem rgba(0,128,128,0.5)}

How to change btn color in Bootstrap
The easiest way to see which properties you need to override is to take a look at Bootstrap's source code, specifically the .button-variant
mixin defined in mixins/buttons.less. You still need to override quite a lot of properties to get rid of all of the .btn-primary
styling (e.g. :focus
, disabled
, usage in dropdowns etc).
A better way might be to:
- Create your own customized version of Bootstrap using Bootstrap's online customization tool
- Manually create your own color class, e.g.
.btn-whatever
- Use a LESS compiler and use the
.button-variant
mixin to create your own color class, e.g..btn-whatever
Globally set custom Bootstrap 4 button color
use with !important.
.btn-primary:hover { color: red; background-color: red !important;}
.btn-primary:focus { color: red; background-color: orange !important;}
.btn-primary:active { color: white; background-color: green !important;}
<link href="https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.1.3/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet"/>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary">Primary</button>
Bootstrap 4 Change the Color of Buttons
The problem was your css in stackoverflow was implemented before the datatables.min.css.
So you need to make sure that in your application it should be after.
If that cant be done you can use !important
but its not preferrable
or you can use the below code
$(document).ready( function () {
var table = $('#example').DataTable({
dom: "<'row'<'col-sm-12 col-md-6'f><'col-sm-12 col-md-6'B>>" +
"<'row'<'col-sm-12'tr>>" +
"<'row'<'col-sm-12 col-md-5'i><'col-sm-12 col-md-7 text-right'p>>",
buttons: [{
extend: 'collection',
className: "btn-dark",
text: 'Export',
buttons:
[{
extend: "pdf", className: "btn-dark"
}],
}]
});
} );
body {
font: 90%/1.45em "Helvetica Neue", HelveticaNeue, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
color: #333;
background-color: #fff;
}
.btn-group-vertical>.btn, .btn-group>.btn{
float:right!important;
}
.dt-buttons .btn-default,.dt-buttons .btn-default:hover, .dt-buttons .btn-default:focus {
height: 40px;
color:#fff;
background: #4d4d4d;
}
.dataTables_filter{
text-align:left!important;
}
