Demo

Usage

Paste the below code into your Design » Custom CSS area. This will transform all of your Tertiary Buttons into this button style.

Be sure to set the individual button layout setting to “FIT” not “FILL”.

Customize

Any font changes you want made still need to happen in the Design » Site Styles area.

Adjust any of the custom properties (properties starting with two dashes --) in the code below.
