Styling the AppBarCommand

CSS classes

To customize the AppBarCommand, you can define your own styles for these CSS classes (defined by the Windows Library for JavaScript style sheets):

CSS class	Description
win-command	Styles the entire AppBarCommand.
win-commandicon	Styles the icon box for the AppBarCommand.
win-commandimage	Styles the image for the AppBarCommand.
win-commandring	Styles the icon ring for the AppBarCommand.
win-label	Styles the label for the AppBarCommand.

Note There are several CSS classes that are shared between multiple WinJS controls. To limit your custom styles to a specific control, assign the control an ID or custom class name and use that as part of your style selector.

For a list of icons that you can use on an AppBar, see AppBarIcon.

AppBarCommand can be one of these types (see type):

"button"

<div id="exampleFlyout" 
     data-win-control="WinJS.UI.Flyout" aria-label="{Example flyout}">
     <div>This is an example AppBarCommand of type 'flyout'.</div>
     <button id="exampleFlyoutButton">Example flyout</button>
</div>
<!-- Define the app bar -->
