Basic Button Styling
------Button MUKAVA------
Example
.button {
background-color: #04AA6D; /* Green */
border: none;
color: white;
padding: 15px 32px;
text-align: center;
text-decoration: none;
display: inline-block;
font-size: 16px;
}
Button Colors
------Button MUKAVA------
To alter a button’s background color, use the background-color property:
Example
.button1 {background-color: #04AA6D;} /* Green */
.button2 {background-color: #008CBA;} /* Blue */
.button3 {background-color: #f44336;} /* Red */
.button4 {background-color: #e7e7e7; color: black;} /* Gray */
.button5 {background-color: #555555;} /* Black */
Button Sizes
------Button MUKAVA------
se the font-size property to change the font size of a button:
Example
.button1 {font-size: 10px;}
.button2 {font-size: 12px;}
.button3 {font-size: 16px;}
.button4 {font-size: 20px;}
.button5 {font-size: 24px;}
To alter a button’s padding, use the padding property:
------Button MUKAVA------
Example
.button1 {padding: 10px 24px;}
.button2 {padding: 12px 28px;}
.button3 {padding: 14px 40px;}
.button4 {padding: 32px 16px;}
.button5 {padding: 16px;}
Rounded Buttons
------Button MUKAVA------
For buttons, apply the border-radius attribute to add rounded corners:
Example
.button1 {border-radius: 2px;}
.button2 {border-radius: 4px;}
.button3 {border-radius: 8px;}
.button4 {border-radius: 12px;}
.button5 {border-radius: 50%;}
Colored Button Borders
------Button MUKAVA------
To give a button a colorful border, use the border property:
Example
.button1 {
background-color: white;
color: black;
border: 2px solid #04AA6D; /* Green */
}
...
Hoverable Buttons
------Button MUKAVA------
When hovering the mouse over a button, you can alter its appearance by using the :hover selector.
A helpful hint is to use the transition-duration attribute to calculate the “hover” effect’s speed:
Example
.button {
transition-duration: 0.4s;
}
.button:hover {
background-color: #04AA6D; /* Green */
color: white;
}
...
Shadow Buttons
------Button MUKAVA------
To give a button shadow, use the box-shadow property:
Example
.button1 {
box-shadow: 0 8px 16px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.2), 0 6px 20px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.19);
}
.button2:hover {
box-shadow: 0 12px 16px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.24), 0 17px 50px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.19);
}
Disabled Buttons
------Button MUKAVA------
To add transparency to a button and give it a “disabled” appearance, use the opacity property.
Tips: You can also add the “not-allowed” cursor attribute, which will cause a “no parking sign” to appear while the mouse is over the button:
Example
.disabled {
opacity: 0.6;
cursor: not-allowed;
}
Button Width
------Button MUKAVA------
The button’s default size (as wide as its content) is set by the text within it. To alter a button’s width, use the width property:
Example
.button1 {width: 250px;}
.button2 {width: 50%;}
.button3 {width: 100%;}
Button Groups
------Button MUKAVA------
To build a button group, remove the margins from each button and add float:left to it.
Example
.button {
float: left;
}
Bordered Button Group
------Button MUKAVA------
To make a button group with borders, use the border property:
Example
.button {
float: left;
border: 1px solid green;
}
Vertical Button Group
------Button MUKAVA------
Change the float:left to display:block to arrange the buttons below one another rather than side by side:
Example
.button {
display: block;
}
