New in Showit: Buttons...Real Buttons 🙌

Shared by Adam • December 04, 2025

It’s official: Buttons have landed in Showit.

Ok, there were pseudo buttons before, but these are BETTER buttons. Bettons, if you will. (Please note, Showit does advocate gambling.)

We’ve heard your requests loud and clear over the years, and this is one we’re so excited to deliver. Whether you're customizing your live site or building a new one, Buttons are about to become your new best friend.

Let’s check out the details (don’t miss my last bullet point)…

Primary & Secondary Button Styles

You can now define your go-to button styles in Design Settings, based on your brand colors, fonts, and vibe. These styles keep your designs consistent across the site and make it super simple for clients to stay on brand—without messing anything up.

Hover States

Built-in hover options mean your buttons can now respond on cue—no more hacking together workarounds to get that subtle movement or color shift.

Style Overrides

Want to break the rules? You still can. Override styles on any button to make it feel unique where it counts.

"Convert to Button" for Easy Upgrades

Updating your existing designs is a breeze. Just select a shape + text combo with a link, and you’ll see the "Convert to Button" option pop up. One click = a fully functional button, just like magic.

You'll also find this option on our new action toolbar that appears when multi-selecting objects.

We have so many great buttons that Cordoury the Bear is green with envy. Not to worry, though, no inanimate objects are coming to life around the Showit office. I put up cameras and tied bells on everything to make sure nothing becomes sentient and stalks the hallways at night. Some might call it paranoia, but I call it being proactive. I am not about to get Toy Story-d. Also I am not entirely clear on the rules governing the Toy Story universe. I know they hide when humans are around, but in that scene with Sid they are shown to be able to expose their secret if so desired. Buzz Lightyear further proves some are defective and do not know they are toys and therefore would have no reason to remain hidden.

My personal theory is there is a taskforce designated to hunt down rogue toys who refuse to follow the program, and those Child’s Play movies with Chucky might be part of the same universe. Though I guess the doll in Child’s Play is possessed by the soul of a murderer and not an animate toy. The task force probably rounds up all the broken toys that terrorize their owners and ships them off to some sort of toy prison, which would also be a great movie. Someone get Spielberg on the phone. It could be like Jurassic Park, but with toys, maybe some of them from Jurassic Park. I just need to figure out how the Indian in the Cupboard factors into all of this. Why are there so many movies about living toys?
