Add own css class to set font-color for ‘button:before’/‘button:after’?

Thanks for answer. Using css will work fine. But I want to use SCSS variables for this color. like button-stable so I can change color by single command.

You can import ionic.scss and overwrite the ionic variables or use the ionic variables to define own scss classes.

on top of your scss.file you have to import ionic.scss

@import "ionic/ionic" //example path to ionic

and then use ionic variables/ mixins and so on

$my-stable: $stable;

or you can define own colors:

$my-stable: #000;
.mybutton-black {
  color: $my-stable;
}
