[[Projects/Usability/HIG/Toggle_Buttons|Toggle buttons]] are a special case where a button has a state.
 
=== Guidelines ===
* Use [[Projects/Usability/HIG/Capitalization|title style capitalization]] for the label.
* Buttons are not dynamic; their content or labels should not change depending on the context.
* Prefer using icons on buttons only for ok, apply, cancel like actions. Passive actions like e.g. those in the "System Settings => Application Appearance => Fonts" don't have icons. Don't overboard with icons.
