Good Morning. In **Ignition 8.0.6** , if you create a new **button** and change the **background color** , the button **loses the visual effects** : it remains dead. I attached a video for you to see: [https://drive.google.com/open?id=1xXiqvDp6qAmfmQrY0XtlU2cNKxNfEbJi](https://drive.google.com/open?id=1xXiqvDp6qAmfmQrY0XtlU2cNKxNfEbJi) Best Regards. ---

Your thread's older, but @zxcslo's thread has a better explanation: > [@Changing buttons background loses buttons visual effect](http://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/changing-buttons-background-loses-buttons-visual-effect/33058): > > I’m trying this in v8.0.9 and is still the same… When you change the button’s background to anything else than default color (250,250,251), the button loses the visual effect of the button and doesn’t look like the button anymore. For something basic like the button, I think this is going for too long. Why? For now, increasing the alpha of the background color is the best solution. That may change in the future. ---

Ok. Thank you.
