23 Jan 202512 minutes to read

The appearance of the Range Slider control can be customized through CSS. By overriding the slider CSS classes, you can customize the thumb. By default, the Range Slider has a unique class e-handle for the slider thumb. You can override the following class as per your requirement. Here, in the sample, the slider thumb has been customized to square, circle, oval shapes, and the background image has also been customized.

.e-control.e-slider .e-handle {
    background-image: url('https://ej2.syncfusion.com/demos/src/slider/images/thumb.png');
    background-color: transparent;
    height: 25px;
    width: 25px;
}
#square_slider.e-control.e-slider .e-handle {
    border-radius: 0%;
    background-color: #f9920b;
    border: 0;
}
#circle_slider.e-control.e-slider .e-handle {
    border-radius: 50%;
    background-color: #f9920b;
    border: 0;
}
#oval_slider.e-control.e-slider .e-handle {
    height: 25px;
    width: 8px;
    top: 3px;
    border-radius: 15px;
    background-color: #f9920b;
}
// Initialize Range Slider Control

    // Set the value for slider
    value: 30,
    min: 0, max: 100
});
squareSlider.appendTo('#square_slider');

circleSlider.appendTo('#circle_slider');
