How to modify antd's colour scheme?

See: https://ant.design/docs/react/customize-theme .

Would you supply other themes?

How to modify Menu/Button(etc...)'s style?

You can override its style. But we don't recommend to do so. ant-design is not only a set of React components, but also a design specification.

I just want to use Menu/Button(etc...), but it seems that I have to import the whole antd and its style.

Try babel-plugin-import, or import what you need in this way:

import Menu from 'antd/lib/menu';
import 'antd/lib/button/style/css';

or (ES6 way):

import { Menu, Breadcrumb, Icon } from 'antd';

The defaultXxxx (like defaultValue) of Input/Select(etc...) only works in first render. It is a specification of React, please read React's documentation.

I set the value of Input/Select(etc...), and then, it cannot be changed by user's action.

Try defaultValue or onChange to change value, and please read React's documentation.
