What’s the best way to create a

Button

with a

LinearGradient

for the background? I see that the Button composable is not that hard to recreate, but internally using a

Surface

which takes a

Color

. Does this mean I have to recreate both

Surface

and it’s private composable

SurfaceLayout

to achieve a gradient background?

Button

is part of

compose-material

and it sounds like you're deviating from what material allows. You might want to take a look at the Jetsnack sample, which has gradient buttons: https://github.com/android/compose-samples/tree/main/Jetsnack
