Configure Background Options in a Fancy Button

Prev Next

When you build a Fancy Button, you can 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 can make this hover state different or keep it the same as the unhovered button.

    Note:

    Hover options exist for the Outer and Inner background styles.

Three tabs 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

  • Advanced (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 the Background & Border options. It is not configurable through Spacing & Sizing or Adv. Styles.
