State Buttons
State buttons are used throughout the AXLE template. They are used to combine different objects to create a unified hover effect on the text and image.
Step One
Go to the Widgets Library > Buttons > State Button. Drag the state button onto the page.
Step Two
Right click on the state button and select Clear All Styling. Repeat this and select Clear Widget Contents. Now it’s ready for full customization.
Step Three
Adjust the size of your state button as desired and drag and drop any text, images, or objects that you want to include in the state button.
Rollover Effects
To customize the rollover effects, select the state button, go to the upper left and select State Button: Normal. Now you can select the state that you want to customize. You can do some of the following:
- Change the opacity of individual objects
- Change the font color, size, or spacing
- Enable a fade transition
Here’s a great video (5 minutes) by Adobe Muse that shows how to use State Buttons with rollover effects.
Forms
Forms are yet to be responsive within Muse. To make sure your forms are appearing properly for every device you must change the size for each breakpoint. For each breakpoint, make sure your form is smaller than your next smallest breakpoint. AXLE has pre-designed and sized forms for your use.
Customizing the Contact Form
- Select the form group.
- Click the blue arrow to open the forms’ option panel.
- Customize the form options.
- Use the Fill and Stroke panel to customize the colors of your form.
Styling Form States
You can customize the following states of your forms:
- Empty- the Normal state of your form when empty.
- Non Empty- the Normal state of your form when filled in.
- Rollover- the state of your form when being hovered over.
- Focus- the state of your form when selected.
- Error- the state of your form when something has gone wrong.
Select the form field and the state you’d like to change in the States Panel and customize each field’s state using the Fill and Stroke panel.
