Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between button types?

Solid buttons have filled backgrounds, Outline buttons have transparent backgrounds with borders, Ghost buttons are minimal with no border, and Gradient buttons use background gradients for a modern look.

How do I add icons to my buttons?

Select an icon position (Left or Right), then choose from available icons. The CSS includes flexbox properties to properly align icons with text. You'll need to add your own icon HTML/SVG.

Can I use gradient backgrounds?

Yes! Switch to the Gradient button type and use the Effects section to customize the background-image property with CSS gradients.

How do I ensure my buttons are accessible?

Use sufficient color contrast (WCAG AA requires 4.5:1 for normal text), provide clear hover/focus states, ensure disabled buttons look distinctly different, and use appropriate cursor styles.

What CSS properties control button states?

State styles use pseudo-classes: :hover for mouse hover, :active for click/press, and :disabled for disabled buttons. Each can have different colors, transforms, and effects.

Can I animate my buttons?

Yes! Use the transition property to animate changes, and add transforms (like translateY or scale) to hover/active states for smooth animations.

How do I make responsive buttons?

Use relative units (em, rem) for padding and font-size, or create media queries to adjust button sizes on different screen sizes. The generated CSS can be extended with responsive breakpoints.

What's the best practice for button shadows?

Use subtle shadows for depth (2-4px blur), increase shadow on hover to show interactivity, and reduce or remove shadow on active state to simulate a press effect.
