Overview
When you build a Fancy Button, you have the option to configure the Background.
In the Background, there are three display options:
- Background (Outer): The Outer background is the primary background style.
- Background (Inner): The Inner background could have a border, or a separate icon, inside a background image on the outer. This means you can design the overall Outer background and then, for example, design a border or Inner background.
- Hover: Hover is the state of the Fancy Button when a user hovers over the button with their mouse. You have the ability to make this hover state different or remain the same as the unhovered button.
- Note: Hover options exist for the Outer and Inner background style.
There are three tabs that help you modify your Button styles:
- Background & Border: Modify the color, gradient, image, border, and add rounded corners
- Spacing & Sizing: Choose how to display the button itself
- Adv. Styles: Modify in HTML
The options remain the same for Background (Outer), Background (Inner), and Hover - unless otherwise indicated. The Hover state can only be modified with Background & Border options. It is not configurable through Spacing & Sizing or Adv. Styles.
