Controlling styles of charts - Bevel vs. Flat

[Jacques]

Hey guys, 

I'm looking at the Kendo.All.js file to try and figure out how your Flat theme stops the charts from showing a bevel. Your theme builder is quite rudimentary in terms of what it allows you to theme unless I'm missing something. It doesn't for example allow you to specify something like bevels or no bevels. 

So right now I'm going through the JS file step for step, which is time consuming and costly. How can we register a proper, complete, theme and control things like the bevels, as well as EVERYTHING else the chart may make use of? Right now the bevel is the most annoying part, but the rest would be nice too. 

Thanks,
Jacques

Through the following post: http://www.kendoui.com/forums/kendo-ui-dataviz/chart/pie-chart-overlay-property.aspx#boJiga6aG2OF1P8AAFTdxQ
I was able to figure out the bevels/gradients which is as follows: 

"seriesDefaults": {
     "labels": {
         "color": "red"
     },
     "pie": {
         "overlay": {
             "gradient": "none"
         }
     },
     "column": {
         "overlay": {
             "gradient": "none"
         }
     }
 },

It was said that that information would be added to the Kendo documentation, but I don't see it anywhere. 

The next question is where does one set fonts to be used for things like labels?

Hello Jacques,

Kendo UI Chart outcome can be customized through the configuration options or using the DataViz ThemeBuilder. As for the gradients configuration, please check the following documentation link:

• Series.Overlay.Gradient

 Regarding the labels - take a look at the following links:

• CategoryAxis.labels
• ValueAxis.Labels
• Series.Labels
• Title
