#homepage .my-button {
background-image: url('../images/icons/btn_panel.png') !important;
width:307px;
height:50px;
padding-top:0px auto;
}

#homepage  .ui-icon-about-icon {
border-radius:0px;
background-image: url('../images/icons/about_up.png');
background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);
width:36px;
height: 36px;
}

<div data-role="content" class="content">   
     <a href="about.html" data-transition="fade" data-role="button" data-icon="about-icon" data-iconshadow="false" class="my-button">About</a>
</div>

I would look at the docs for buttons:

• http://jquerymobile.com/demos/1.2.0/docs/buttons/buttons-options.html

Live Example:

• http://jsfiddle.net/Pjvvx/ (Width)
• http://jsfiddle.net/3DSGT/ (Height)

JS:

// For all buttons use something like this
$('.ui-btn').css('width','50%');

// For individual buttons use something like this
$('#theButton1').parent().css('width', '75%');

// Or this for HREF data-role buttons
$('#hrefButton4').css('width', '45%');

I think this is what you’re looking for

// this changes the height for all buttons
$('.ui-btn-text').css('font-size','50px');

// This changes the height for a single element 
$('#hrefButton3').children().children().css('font-size','30px');

HTML:

<div data-role="page" id="home"> 
    <div data-role="content">
        <input type="button" id="theButton1" value="Press Me 1" />
        <input type="button" id="theButton2" value="Press Me 2" />
        <input type="button" id="theButton3" value="Press Me 3" />
        <input type="button" id="theButton4" value="Press Me 4" />
        <br />
        <a href="#" data-role="button" id="hrefButton1">HREF Me 1</a>
        <a href="#" data-role="button" id="hrefButton2">HREF Me 2</a>
        <a href="#" data-role="button" id="hrefButton3">HREF Me 3</a>
        <a href="#" data-role="button" id="hrefButton4">HREF Me 4</a>
    </div>
</div>
