          color: white !important;
        `;
    
        // Use props & theme in extend
        const BorderedButton = Button.extend`
          border: 1px solid ${props => th(props.variant, color => darken(0.1, color))};
    
        &:hover {
            border-color: ${props => th(props.variant, color => darken(0.3, color))};
          }
        `;
    
        // Modify component
