I want my buttons showing left- and right arrow and NOW text to be as small as possible. How do I do that?
If you are using md-icon-button, then material sets a width, height and padding for the icon:
.md-button.md-icon-button {
margin: 0 6px;
height: 40px;
min-width: 0;
line-height: 24px;
padding: 8px;
width: 40px;
border-radius: 50%;
}
so you need to override it ("auto" works well if you want the button to fit the parent)
.md-button.md-small {
padding: 0px;
margin: 0px;
height: auto;
width: auto;
min-height: 20px;
}
