  transition-duration: 0.4s;
}

  box-shadow: 0 8px 16px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.2), 0 6px 20px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.19);
}

  box-shadow: 0 12px 16px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.24), 0 17px 50px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.19);
}

Disabled Buttons

Use the opacity property to add transparency to a button (creates a "disabled" look).

Tip: You can also add the cursor property with a value of "not-allowed", which will display a "no parking sign" when you mouse over the button:

Example

.disabled {
  opacity: 0.6;
  cursor: not-allowed;
}

By default, the size of the button is determined by its text content (as wide as its content). Use the width property to change the width of a button:

Example

.button1 {width: 250px;}
.button2 {width: 50%;}
.button3 {width: 100%;}

}
