Icon Button
Icon buttons help people take minor actions with one tap
Use Cases
- Users should be able to:
- Understand meaning of the icon
- Navigate to and activate an icon button with assistive technology
- When applicable, a tooltip is available to help describe the icon button's purpose
Interaction & Style
Similarly styled components shouldn't be used together if they don't each pass the 3:1 contrast ratio. Higher contrast helps differentiate between a group of similar components.
