## What kind of change does this PR introduce? UI polish / design system: refreshed button styles, related token tweaks, and a shared floating-button plate. Resolves DEPR-652. ## What is the current behavior? Default, primary, and secondary buttons use older fills, borders, and hover treatments. Primary still leans on brand scale utilities. Default fills don’t always read as raised chrome across surfaces, and floating copy / expand / scroll controls can let busy content show through translucent fills. Call sites hand-roll `rounded-* bg-background` wrappers for that. ## What is the new behavior? Refreshes primary, default, and secondary buttons with medium-weight labels, subtle shadows and inset edges, and smoother transitions. Light-mode default buttons use a raised fill with an accent hover state, primary text is brighter, and inline keyboard shortcuts inherit the button’s colour. Adds `FloatingPlate`: an opaque `bg-popover` shell for floating default buttons (and small clusters). Migrates Studio, Docs-related patterns, www, and `ui-patterns` floaters onto it so busy content no longer shows through translucent fills. Positioning, z-index, and hover/focus reveal stay on the plate’s `className`. Use `rounded="full"` for pills. Also: - Moves primary onto semantic `--primary` / `--primary-hover` (with a light-theme override) instead of brand utility fills - Tokenises button shadows as `--button-shadow-drop` / `--button-shadow-raised` / `--button-shadow-default` on the Button base - Aligns hover direction: darken on light mode, lighten on dark mode for both default and primary - Default fill stays opaque `bg-card` in light (occlusion) and translucent `bg-muted` in dark (adapts to the local surface) - Documents fills and `FloatingPlate` on the design-system Button page (with a live example) - Scales shared radius tokens in Studio and www; medium+ Button sizes use a proportionally softer radius - Fixes www nav CTA centering (`lg:inline-flex` instead of `lg:block`) - Query detail Expand/Collapse wires `aria-expanded` / `aria-controls` | Before | After | | --- | --- | | <img width="1074" height="438" alt="CleanShot 2026-09-18 at 15 52 51@2x" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/ef43da21-b053-4b7e-9ac4-ab8b428228ab" /> | <img width="1090" height="464" alt="CleanShot 2026-09-18 at 15 50 59@2x" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/2ddc55fc-4c8d-499c-a280-f3db3d99023c" /> | | <img width="1082" height="446" alt="CleanShot 2026-09-18 at 15 52 35@2x" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/3dd5452d-325a-4e4a-a79d-26c6c6950a31" /> | <img width="1078" height="446" alt="CleanShot 2026-09-18 at 15 51 13@2x" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/93666385-3e6e-42e0-9891-9cd6bb935b67" /> | ## To test ### Design system - [Button page](https://design-system-git-chore-button-styles-supabase.vercel.app/design-system/docs/components/button): default / primary in light and dark; hover should darken on light, lighten on dark - Same page: [Floating over content](https://design-system-git-chore-button-styles-supabase.vercel.app/design-system/docs/components/button#floating-over-content) / [Floating plate](https://design-system-git-chore-button-styles-supabase.vercel.app/design-system/docs/components/button#floating-plate) example; Copy over SQL should stay opaque - Spot-check hover on a code preview Copy control ### Docs [Docs deploy preview](https://docs-git-chore-button-styles-supabase.vercel.app/docs): - [Docs homepage](https://docs-git-chore-button-styles-supabase.vercel.app/docs): top-right **Sign up** / **Dashboard** primary; menu icon beside it (default icon button) - Shrink below `lg` and open the hamburger drawer: bottom **Sign in** (default) + **Start your project** (primary) medium block buttons - Tab once for **Skip to content** (FloatingPlate) - [MCP guide](https://docs-git-chore-button-styles-supabase.vercel.app/docs/guides/ai-tools/mcp): project picker - [Apple login](https://docs-git-chore-button-styles-supabase.vercel.app/docs/guides/auth/social-login/auth-apple): **Generate Secret Key** button in the Apple Secret Generator - Optional opacity check: any guide code block Copy control (e.g. at the bottom of [Import data into Supabase](https://docs-git-chore-button-styles-supabase.vercel.app/docs/guides/database/import-data)) ### Studio [Studio deploy preview](https://studio-staging-git-chore-button-styles-supabase.vercel.app/): - **Observability → Query Performance**: open a query detail → Expand/Collapse pill + SQL Copy chip (dark: no bleed-through) - **Observability → Query Insights**: select a query → Clear query pill - **Table Editor → any table → Definition** → floating **Open in SQL Editor** - **Connect → Framework → Add files**: Copy on the code tabs (FloatingPlate; light hover follow-up is DEPR-694) - Tab once for **Skip to content** ### WWW - [www deploy preview](https://zone-www-dot-com-git-chore-button-styles-supabase.vercel.app/): nav Sign in / Start your project vertical centering; hero medium CTAs radius --------- Co-authored-by: Danny White <3104761+dnywh@users.noreply.github.com>

Maintainers
If you are a maintainer of any tools in the Supabase ecosystem, you can use this site to provide documentation for the tools & libraries that you maintain.
DocSpec
We use documentation specifications which can be used to generate human-readable docs.
- OpenAPI: for documenting API endpoints.
- SDKSpec (custom to Supabase): for SDKs and client libraries.
- ConfigSpec (custom to Supabase): for configuration options.
- CLISpec (custom to Supabase): for CLI commands and usage.
The benefit of using custom specifications is that we can generate many other types from a strict schema (eg, HTML and manpages). It also means that we can switch to any documentation system we want. On this site we use Next.js, but on Supabase's official website, we use a custom React site and expose only a subset of the available API for each tool.
Contributing
