## Install

Install the plugin: (should automatically install latest dependencies for Compass, and Haml)

    gem install fancy-buttons

To create a new project based on fancy-buttons:

    compass install -r fancy-buttons -f fancy-buttons

To add fancy-buttons to an existing compass project:

    # Add the following lines to your compass configuration file:

    require 'fancy-buttons'

    

    # Then run the following command:

    compass install -r fancy-buttons -f fancy-buttons

# Project Goals:

- Generate a color palette from the base color

- Discern sensible palette variations based on a base color (dark, medium, light)

- Allow button style types (subtle gradient, shiny gradient)

- Make it easy to override/modify styles

- Reduce weight of generated styles (define button base, add color through additional classes)

- Create good defaults

- Ensure approximate consistency for browsers that don't support CSS gradients

- Style the button element

- Provide a decent alternative styling for ie6
