Types of Metallic Buttons
As you can see on this page, there are different types of metallic buttons in which you can choose from based on the design theme or aesthetic that you are going for.
- Raised buttons. This typically rectangular button is attributed with a shadow to create an illusion of a lift which indicates that it’s clickable. It adds dimension to mostly flat layouts and emphasizes its function on busy and wide spaces.
- Flat buttons. Contrary to raised buttons, flat buttons do not lift; instead, they fill with color when pressed. One of the major benefit of using a flat button is they minimize the distraction one experience from the content.
- Toggle buttons. A toggle button lets the user change a setting between two states and is mostly used as an on or off button for preferences. They can also be used on icons to select or deselect as well as adding stars to an item.
- Ghost buttons. They are those transparent and empty buttons that have a basic shape form and generally bordered by very thin line with a plain text inside. With a metallic texture, these buttons look great in a minimalist theme.
- Floating action buttons. It’s a circular material button that lifts and displays a morphing or launching reaction on press. They can easily be lost in a full web page but works great with responsive website designs when viewed on a smartphone or tablet.
