Im currently using the bootstrap theme and now looking at using a custom theme based on the bootstrap theme.

Looking over this, im not sure on how to place the output
https://www.telerik.com/kendo-angular-ui/components/styling/theme-builder/

When I download my theme, I have a zip file containing two files, all.css and variables.scss

For example, in the linked instructions above, do I use these paths and put the two files in the zip file into the scss/all folder?

// import configuration from the theme builder
@import 'variables.scss';
// import the base theme
@import '~@progress/kendo-theme-default/scss/all';

Or... since im using the bootstrap theme, I replace the files in @progress\kendo-theme-bootstrap\scss ???

Or, do I create a new folder under node_modules\@progress with the name of my new theme?

The recommended way of using the ThemeBuilder output is to use the build process of the application:

Import the variable values
Import the base theme (which in this scenario is @progress/kendo-theme-bootstrap)

This boils down to the following code in styles.scss (assuming you are using the Angular CLI defaults):

@import 'variables'; // the variables.scss file, located in the same folder
@import '~@progress/kendo-theme-bootstrap/scss/all'; // fetched from node_modules

Editing files in the node_modules directory is strongly discouraged, as this will cause them to break at the next npm install, or on different machines.

So really all I need from the download is the variables.scss , correct? Now that I have converted my angular app to use scss, I changed my styles.css to styles.scss and added the imports mentioned above.

However, now that Im using scss, I wanted to test a change. I added a variable override in my variable.scss

Im not seeing any changes however.

$button-bg: #dc3545; // should show button background as red

angular.json

            "styles": [
              "./node_modules/bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css",
              "./node_modules/font-awesome/css/font-awesome.css",
              "src/styles.scss"
            ],
            "scripts": [
              "./node_modules/jquery/dist/jquery.min.js",
              "./node_modules/popper.js/dist/umd/popper.min.js",
              "./node_modules/bootstrap/dist/js/bootstrap.min.js"
            ]

"defaultProject": "ClientApp",
"schematics": {
    "@schematics/angular:component": {
      "styleext": "scss"
    }

in ClientApp/src/styles.scss

@import 'variables'; // the variables.scss file, located in the same folder
@import '~@progress/kendo-theme-bootstrap/scss/all'; // fetched from node_modules

in ClientApp/src/variables.css (downloaded from themebuilder, see my variable at the bottom)

$base-theme:Bootstrap;
$skin-name:kendo-dflood-bs4-1;
$accent: #007bff;
$secondary: #e4e7eb;
$info: #17a2b8;
$success: #28a745;
$warning: #ffc107;
$error: #dc3545;
$body-bg: #ffffff;
$body-color: #292b2c;
$component-bg: #ffffff;
$component-color: #292b2c;
$card-cap-bg: #f7f7f9;
$card-cap-color: #292b2c;
$series-a: #0275d8;
$series-b: #5bc0de;
$series-c: #5cb85c;
$series-d: #f0ad4e;
$series-e: #e67d4a;
$series-f: #d9534f;
$button-bg: #dc3545; //should be red, but I see no impact

After these changes , with the app running with ng serve, a compile takes place and I see the browser refresh. However, the button is unaffected. Its still blue
