Demo

Without CSS gradient support:

Install

Install the plugin:

sudo gem install compass --pre
sudo gem install fancy-buttons

To create a new project based on fancy-buttons:

compass -r compass-colors -r fancy-buttons -f fancy-buttons project_directory

To add fancy-buttons to an existing compass project:

# Add the following lines to your compass configuration file:
require 'compass-colors'
require 'fancy-buttons'

# Then run the following command:
compass -r fancy-buttons -f fancy-buttons project_directory

Project Goals:

• Generate a color palette from the base color
• Discern sensible palette variations based on a base color (dark, medium, light)
• Allow button style types (subtle gradient, shiny gradient)
• Make it easy to override/modify styles
• Reduce weight of generated styles (define button base, add color through additional classes)
• Create good defaults
• Ensure approximate consistency for browsers that don't support CSS gradients
• Style the button element
• Provide a decent alternative styling for ie6
