A button with the class btn-white is transparent
The btn-white class doesn't actually apply a white background a button. When added to a container with a background color, it behaves as transparent. I would expect a white button to have a white backgound.

btn-white was never (or at least not in v4 or v5) part of Bootstrap, so I had always assumed you guys added it to extend the button options. It used to work in Metronic though AFAIK as when I upgraded all my white buttons went transparent.
Hi,
Sorry for the inconvenience. Yes, it used to work before v8.1.6 as a custom button class but in the recent update v8.1.7, we removed it.

I'm a little concerned that you would just remove something that is a breaking change, and it's not mentioned in the release notes either. I'm curious what the reason for removing it is? I now have to go and add a load of classes to all the white buttons to achieve the same effect which is going to take time and effort. Has anything else been removed recently I might not have noticed yet? I'm very concerned about upgrading in future as I feel I have to do full regression testing even for a minor point release.
Hi,
Sure, we will highlight such changes with more details in the changelog right away. It seems we missed this. Appreciate your suggestion on this.
No other breaking changes. Only the white related utility classes. In the recent update we integrated Bootstrap 5.3.0 alpha update which came with a built-in dark mode support and we had to remove btn-white and bg-white classes that would conflict with the new dark. Instead of this class, we recommend using bg-body which works well for dark and light modes.
In your code, you can use the global find and replace tool to globally update the btn-white class to bg-body class.
We also suggest you not update your production with each Metronic update since we use lots of 3rd party plugins and they may introduce their own breaking updates. However, we deeply test each release and each update is stable. So the updates should be taken seriously and fully tested in the development environment before pushing to production.
Regards.
Hi,
Thank you for the heads up. After releasing the Bootstrap 5.3.0 alpha update the btn-white class was depreciated. We will remove it from the docs in the next update. Instead, you can use the bg-body class which works well for light and dark demos.
If you need any further clarifications please do let us know.
Regards.
