▶ Liquid Button v2

New:

• mobile compatible with touch events
• Create buttons with markup elements
• Rendered with SVGs for better view on high res panels

Create liquid buttons on all elements with class liquid-button pass all parameters as data attributes. Play around with parameters on https://codepen.io/Zaku/pen/WObjPy

Most important data- attributes: data-width: width of button data-height: height of button data-margin: additional space around button on svg for button overflow data-force-factor: Force for each point to get back to its origin data-hover-factor: Force for each point to get back to its origin while hover data-color1: Background color data-color2: Foreground color data-color3: Highlight color data-text-color: Text color

Layer settings can be made for layer 1 (background) and layer 2 (foreground) layer-X-viscosity: Defines how elastic mouse interactions are layer-X-mouse-force: Defines how far and strong mouse force reaches layer-X-force-limit: Limits local force to specific amount
