Feature Description
Currently if I want to change the shape of the progress bar to be round like, I only have the --mdc-linear-progress-track-shape
to set the track shape, but not the same option for the shape of the active-indicator, which will still be square.
Also, only setting the --mdc-linear-progress-track-shape
, will result in the active indicator overflowing, leaving me with an inconsistent progress-bar (see 1st picture)
Hence that leaves me with the better option of just setting the border-radius
of the mat-progress-bar
element itself, because this doesn't cause the active-indicator to overflow. In this case the --mdc-linear-progress-track-shape
becomes redundant.
- Screenshot with
--mdc-linear-progress-track-shape: 4px;
, causing the active-indicator to overflow:

- Screenshot with
--mdc-linear-progress-track-shape: 4px;
andborder-radius: 4px
, rendering the--mdc-linear-progress-track-shape
redundant:

- Screenshot with only
border-radius: 4px;
leaving me with an almost round progress bar, except that the active-indicator is not actually round.

So there need to be an option to set the --mdc-linear-progress-active-indicator-shape
like for other components, so that the active-indicator can be made round, as shown in the Token and Specs section in the Material 3 specification
Use Case
This would enable a very relevant an normal use case that is also shown in the Token and Specs section in the Material 3 specification.
