Button: fill
An ACSS button that inverts on hover: a layer in the label's colour rises from the bottom edge and the label takes the face's colour. On the outline style the fill takes the border colour and the label turns light.

What you can build with it
A call to action whose hover feels like pressing in. An outline button that fills with the brand colour on hover. A form submit button with a stronger hover than a colour fade.
Props
label (text); href (url); style (select: primary, outline); size (select: default, large)
States shown
Rest, hover, focus, active. Reduced motion: the fill appears without the rise.
How to change it
Content and options are 4 props in the component's settings panel. Colour, type, spacing and radius follow your Automatic.css settings, so a change to the site's palette or scale changes this too. For anything else, edit the classes in the Style Manager, starting with .button-row, .motion-btn, .motion-btn-fill.
ACSS tokens used
ACSS button tokens (–btn-*), –primary, –on-primary, –white, –black, –transition.
ACSS requirements
ACSS 4 defaults with its button classes. Nothing to install.
