Supported MUI Components & How-to Make Edits

Just like customizing the design kit’s look and feel, there are specific things you can and cannot edit in the MUI kit. Below is the full list & instructions for each component we support.
Button 
How To Use: 
Copy & Paste any of the Default buttons into your custom components. When it comes into Quest they will be working, interactive Material UI components.
Can Change:
​
​
Auto layout padding (Adjust button size) 
You can remove, edit or add drop-shadow to each button 
You can change icons by swapping icon instance 
You can adjust corner radius 
Even though there are different size buttons, you can also adjust the size to be larger or smaller with fixed width and height when you use the instance in your custom components
Can NOT Change:
​


Don’t change the button components’ constraints (Hug contents). You can ONLY change this on the instance you copy & pasted. 
Don’t change individual button colors. Change the design system colors to make those changes. 
Don’t change individual button fonts. Change the design system’s typography instead. 
Don’t change the button's text label here. Change it on the pasted instance in your custom component.

Don’t add additional icons or elements aside from the text and icons that are there now. Material UI will not honor them. You can add more icons in the icons and swap the instance only (as shown above) but don’t directly add images or vector icons into the button.
​
​
Icon 
How To Use: 
Copy & Paste the size you need into your custom components. Then in the custom component, you can choose the actual icon variant & color. To change the icon, swap the instance for another one. You can add as many icons as you want to the MUI design system / kit but just be sure to sync the library whenever you add a new one to be able to swap for it in your custom component design later.
​
Can Change: 
Nothing. Simply copy & paste these.

Don’t touch constraints 
Don’t touch colors

Dialog
How to Use:
Unlike most other MUI components, you do not copy & paste Dialog into your custom designs. Instead, this is a feature you can choose inside of Quest.

Inside the design system, you are simply styling how that will look when used.

Tooltip
How to Use:
Similar to Dialog, you do not copy and paste this component into your custom designs but rather choose it as a feature inside of Quest. You can choose which component in Quest will have this applied, where the anchor point is, and what goes inside of it. Inside the design system, you are simply styling how that will look when used.
