# DropDownButton Appearance

The DropDownButton provides predefined appearance options such as different sizes, border radii, fill modes, and theme colors. If you omit an appearance property, the active Kendo theme supplies its default value.

Apart from the default vision of the DropDownButton, these alternative styling options enable you to configure each individual aspect of the appearance of a DropDownButton.

Use these links to go directly to each appearance option:

* [Size](https://www.telerik.com/kendo-angular-ui-develop/components/buttons/dropdownbutton/appearance#size)
* [Roundness](https://www.telerik.com/kendo-angular-ui-develop/components/buttons/dropdownbutton/appearance#roundness)
* [Fill Mode](https://www.telerik.com/kendo-angular-ui-develop/components/buttons/dropdownbutton/appearance#fill-mode)
* [Theme Color](https://www.telerik.com/kendo-angular-ui-develop/components/buttons/dropdownbutton/appearance#theme-color)

The following example demonstrates all the available appearance options of the DropDownButton in a single, configurable demo.

> Starting with [version 22.1.0](https://www.telerik.com/kendo-angular-ui/components/changelogs/kendo-angular-ui#v22.1.0), default values of the appearance properties are no longer hardcoded in the component. The default values are inherited from the Kendo theme.
