461+ ## Strong focus indicators  
462+ 
463+ By default, most components indicate browser focus by changing their background color as described
464+ by the Material Design specification. This behavior, however, can fall short of accessibility
465+ requirements, such as [ WCAG 4.5:1] [ ] , which require a stronger indication of browser focus.
466+ 
467+ Angular Material supports rendering highly visible outlines on focused elements. Applications can
468+ enable these strong focus indicators via two Sass mixins:
469+ ` strong-focus-indicators `  and ` strong-focus-indicators-theme ` .
470+ 
471+ The ` strong-focus-indicators `  mixin emits structural indicator styles for all components. This mixin
472+ should be included exactly once in an application, similar to the ` core `  mixin described above.
473+ 
474+ The ` strong-focus-indicators-theme `  mixin emits only the indicator's color styles. This mixin should
475+ be included once per theme, similar to the theme mixins described above. Additionally, you can use
476+ this mixin to change the color of the focus indicators in situations in which the default color
477+ would not contrast sufficiently with the background color.
478+ 
479+ The following example includes strong focus indicator styles in an application alongside the rest of
480+ the custom theme API.
481+ 
482+ ``` scss 
483+ @use  ' @angular/material' as  mat ;
484+ 
485+ $my-theme : (
486+   color : mat .$violet-palette ,
487+   typography : Roboto,
488+   density : 0 
489+ );
490+ 
491+ @include  mat .strong-focus-indicators ();
492+ 
493+ html  {
494+   color-scheme light  dark ;
495+   @include  mat .theme ($my-theme );
496+   @include  mat .strong-focus-indicators-theme ($my-theme );
497+ }
498+ ``` 
499+ 
500+ ### Customizing strong focus indicators  
501+ 
502+ You can pass a configuration map to ` strong-focus-indicators `  to customize the appearance of the
503+ indicators. This configuration includes ` border-style ` , ` border-width ` , and ` border-radius ` .
504+ 
505+ You also can customize the color of indicators with ` strong-focus-indicators-theme ` . This mixin
506+ accepts either a theme, as described earlier in this guide, or a CSS color value. When providing a
507+ theme, the indicators will use the default hue of the primary palette.
508+ 
509+ The following example includes strong focus indicator styles with custom settings alongside the rest
510+ of the custom theme API.
511+ 
512+ ``` scss 
513+ @use  ' @angular/material' as  mat ;
514+ 
515+ @include  mat .strong-focus-indicators ((
516+   border-style : dotted ,
517+   border-width : 4px  ,
518+   border-radius : 2px  ,
519+ ));
520+ 
521+ html  {
522+   color-scheme light  dark ;
523+ 
524+   @include  mat .theme ((
525+     color : mat .$rose-palette ,
526+     typography: Roboto,
527+     density: 0 
528+   ));
529+ 
530+   @include  mat .strong-focus-indicators-theme (orange );
531+ }
532+ ```
