Custom Icons

Custom Sprite and CSS Classes
Images and Properties Configuration
Images and CSS Setup

The RadSocialShare allows easy customization of the built-in, styled RadSocialButtons (the standard buttons as Like, Send, GooglePlusOne, etc have their own appearance generated through the corresponding third party scripts).

This demo shows different approaches on how to use custom styling through properties, sprite, separate images, CSS, etc, depending on the exact scenario, goal and preferences.

  • The first RadSocialShare instance uses a sprite for the images and the width, height, background image and position are all set through the RadSocialButton CssClass property.
  • The second RadSocialShare instance uses separate icons and every button has its CustomIconWidth, CustomIconHeight and CustomIconUrl properties configured. The buttons in this case can have different size set.
  • The third RadSocialShare instance uses separate icons and the width and height for all buttons is set through CSS. The icon for every button is set through the CustomIconUrl property.
