Material Design: Buttons

paper-icon-button is a button with an image placed at the center. When the user touches the button, a ripple effect emanates from the center of the button.

paper-icon-button includes a default icon set. Use icon to specify which icon from the icon set to use.

<paper-icon-button icon="menu"></paper-icon-button>

See iron-iconset for more information about how to use a custom icon set.

Example:

<link href="path/to/iron-icons/iron-icons.html" rel="import">

<paper-icon-button icon="favorite"></paper-icon-button>
<paper-icon-button src="star.png"></paper-icon-button>

Styling

Style the button with CSS as you would a normal DOM element. If you are using the icons provided by iron-icons, they will inherit the foreground color of the button.

<!-- make a red "favorite" button -->
<paper-icon-button icon="favorite" style="color: red;"></paper-icon-button>

By default, the ripple is the same color as the foreground at 25% opacity. You may customize the color using this selector:

/* make #my-button use a blue ripple instead of foreground color */
#my-button::shadow #ripple {
  color: blue;
}

The opacity of the ripple is not customizable via CSS.
