Use the background-color
property to change the background color of a button:
Eg:
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <style> .button { background-color: #04AA6D; /* Green */ border: none; color: white; padding: 15px 32px; text-align: center; text-decoration: none; display: inline-block; font-size: 16px; margin: 4px 2px; cursor: pointer; } .button2 {background-color: #008CBA;} /* Blue */ .button3 {background-color: #f44336;} /* Red */ .button4 {background-color: #e7e7e7; color: black;} /* Gray */ .button5 {background-color: #555555;} /* Black */ </style> </head> <body> <h2>Button Colors</h2> <p>Change the background color of a button with the background-color property:</p> <button class="button">Green</button> <button class="button button2">Blue</button> <button class="button button3">Red</button> <button class="button button4">Gray</button> <button class="button button5">Black</button> </body> </html> |
Button Sizes
Use the font-size
property to change the font size of a button:
.button1 {font-size: 10px;}
.button2 {font-size: 12px;}
.button3 {font-size: 16px;}
.button4 {font-size: 20px;}
.button5 {font-size: 24px;}
Use the padding property to change the padding of a button:
.button1 {padding: 10px 24px;}
.button2 {padding: 12px 28px;}
.button3 {padding: 14px 40px;}
.button4 {padding: 32px 16px;}
.button5 {padding: 16px;}
Rounded Buttons
Use the border-radius
property to add rounded corners to a button:
.button1 {border-radius: 2px;}
.button2 {border-radius: 4px;}
.button3 {border-radius: 8px;}
.button4 {border-radius: 12px;}
.button5 {border-radius: 50%;}
Colored Button Borders
Use the border
property to add a colored border to a button:
.button1 {
background-color: white;
color: black;
border: 2px solid #04AA6D; /* Green */
}
Hoverable Button
Use the :hover
selector to change the style of a button when you move the mouse over it.
Tip: Use the transition-duration
property to determine the speed of the "hover" effect:
.button {
transition-duration: 0.4s;
}
.button:hover {
background-color: #04AA6D; /* Green */
color: white;
}
Shadow Buttons
Use the box-shadow
property to add shadows to a button:
.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
Use the opacity
property to add transparency to a button (creates a "disabled" look).
Tip: You can also add the cursor
property with a value of "not-allowed", which will display a "no parking sign" when you mouse over the button:
.disabled {
opacity: 0.6;
cursor: not-allowed;
}
Button Width
By default, the size of the button is determined by its text content (as wide as its content). Use the width
property to change the width of a button:
.button1 {width: 250px;}
.button2 {width: 50%;}
.button3 {width: 100%;}
Button Groups
Remove margins and add float:left
to each button to create a button group:
Bordered Button Group
Use the border
property to create a bordered button group:
Vertical Button Group
Use display:block
instead of float:left to group the buttons below each other, instead of side by side:
