Contextual buttons

Components Add comments

The latest Engage! blog entry written by David Heller is about contextual buttons. The following quote is the introduction to contextual buttons:

I have noticed a trend in virtual interfaces that exploits their ephemeral nature, where a single button is used today where two buttons used to be used in the past. The button label is used to both clear a state of the system and the action the button can do. Who else finds they pause slightly in these contexts even after becoming “experts” in these systems?
