When the user touches the button, a ripple effect emanates from the point of contact. It may be flat or raised. A raised button is styled with a shadow. Example: Flat button Raised button No ripple effect Toggle-able button A button that has `toggles` true will remain `active` after being clicked (and will have an `active` attribute set). For more information, see the `Polymer.IronButtonState` behavior. You may use custom DOM in the button body to create a variety of buttons. For example, to create a button with an icon and some text: custom button content ### Styling Style the button with CSS as you would a normal DOM element. paper-button.fancy { background: green; color: yellow; } paper-button.fancy:hover { background: lime; } paper-button[disabled], paper-button[toggles][active] { background: red; } By default, the ripple is the same color as the foreground at 25% opacity. You may customize the color using the `--paper-button-ink-color` custom property. The following custom properties and mixins are also available for styling: Custom property | Description | Default ----------------|-------------|---------- `--paper-button-ink-color` | Background color of the ripple | `Based on the button's color` `--paper-button` | Mixin applied to the button | `{}` `--paper-button-disabled` | Mixin applied to the disabled button. Note that you can also use the `paper-button[disabled]` selector | `{}` `--paper-button-flat-keyboard-focus` | Mixin applied to a flat button after it's been focused using the keyboard | `{}` `--paper-button-raised-keyboard-focus` | Mixin applied to a raised button after it's been focused using the keyboard | `{}`
