Here is my small gallery of buttons.Wheather button are 2-, 2 1/2- or 3 dimensional, technology permittin they shoudl be designed with two or more states. The first state common to all buttons is the dormant or rest state the way the button looks when its waiting to be activated. The second state which most button have is the actice state the button looks diffrent once its clicked and the change can even be accompanied by a sound effect. A third,intermediate state is the rollover state a highlatighted condition that happens any time the cursor moves over a clicable button or is sent to it by using an arrow or tab key. This is in-between state can vbe used to help the user keep track of where the cursor is to make a button say push me or to have the title of the button appear for clarification.
