No response

Description

Reproduction

The content-padding token is documented as supported by mat.dialog-overrides:
https://material.angular.dev/components/dialog/styling

However, when trying to use it, nothing changes in the dialog content.

Reproduction

StackBlitz link: https://stackblitz.com/edit/rtyfhwua?file=src%2Fstyles.scss,src%2Fmain.ts
Steps to reproduce:

1. add in .scss file

:root {
  @include mat.dialog-overrides(
    (
      content-padding: 40px,
    )
  );
}

2. open dialog

Expected Behavior

The content-padding token should apply padding inside the .mat-mdc-dialog-content element (like other tokens such as actions-padding or headline-padding do).

Actual Behavior

The content-padding don't apply padding inside the .mat-mdc-dialog-content

Environment

Angular: 20.1.6
Angular Material: 20.1.6
Browser(s): All (reproduced in Chrome, Firefox, Edge)
Operating System: All (reproduced in StackBlitz environment)

Your example doesn't work because there are actually two tokens: content-padding and with-actions-content-padding. The latter applies in your case, because the dialog has an actions element.
