Buttons
This is a collection of buttons from classic as well as modern operating systems and desktop environments. All of the buttons can be clicked, and some include focus and hover effects as well.
CSS imitations of some of the buttons.
If you're using a high DPI monitor (especially with fractional scaling) the buttons and background patterns below may look distorted or blurry. Checking the following checkbox will attempt to fix that:
