Tab Button Styles (Active & Hover Effects)

Enhance user interaction and clarity in your tabbed content using the Active and Hover Effects feature of the Easy Tabs Block plugin for WordPress. These visual effects make it easy for visitors to identify which tab is active and which tab they are interacting with.

Understanding Active and Hover Effects

  • Active Effect: The visual style applied to the currently selected tab, helping users see at a glance which tab’s content they’re viewing.
  • Hover Effect: The visual style triggered when a user hovers over a tab, providing immediate feedback and encouraging interaction.

Setting Up Active and Hover Effects

Follow these simple steps to customize your tab button styles:

  1. Add the Easy Tabs Block:
    • Go to the WordPress editor.
    • Click on the “+” button and search for “Easy Tabs Block.” Select it to add to your page.
  2. Open Style Settings:
    • Click on the Tabs Block you just added.
    • In the sidebar settings, click on the “Block Styles” tab. Then scroll down to locate “Active Tab Button Styles” or “Hover Tab Button Styles.”
  3. Active Tab Customization:
    • Click on the “Active Tab” option.
    • Adjust the following settings:
      • Text Color: Select a clear, contrasting color.
      • Background Color: Choose a distinctive background color.
      • Border: Customize the border’s thickness, style, and color.
      • Icon Styling: Adjust the appearance of icons, including fill and stroke colors.
  4. Hover Tab Customization:
    • Select the “Hover Tab” option.
    • Configure the following settings:
      • Text Color: Choose a color change for when users hover.
      • Background Color: Set a noticeable yet subtle hover background color.
      • Border: Customize how the border looks during hover.
      • Icon Styling: Adjust the hover effect on icons.
  5. Preview Changes:
    • Test your changes directly in the Gutenberg editor by interacting with the tabs.

Recommended Best Practices

  • Use clearly distinct colors for active and hover effects to avoid user confusion.
  • Keep hover effects subtle enough to provide feedback without overwhelming the design.
  • Maintain consistent styling between Active and Hover states for a cohesive visual experience.

By applying these Active and Hover effects, you’ll make your tabs intuitive, engaging, and user-friendly.
