Heightens the button to fit its label. A button height might exceed the 27 pixel default size when, for instance, an increased font size is applied to the button label text.

By default, the button height is approximately 27 pixels.

Enables a user to assign a fixed height (in pixels) to the buttons.

Applies the shortest height possible to a button without compromising its label content.

Syntax:

<!ENTITY %actionbutton.width.types "default | background">

background

Widens or narrows the button width to fit the label it displays.

By default, the button width adjusts to fit the text or image label it displays. For a button with a label that has an image and a seven-character word, its width is approximately 63 pixels. Any additional buttons created borrow the width of the first button. If the first button contains a short text label, and you later create a button with a longer label, some of the label text may not display.

Syntax:

<!ENTITY %actionbutton.margin.types "default | fixed">

default

By default, the margin size is approximately 2 pixels.

Enables a user to set a fixed margin size (in pixels) to the buttons.
