Usage example​

You can configure a different shape, background color for a hovered state and configure fallback values for all other states.

To configure style attribute for all Material states set its value to a literal (or class instance). For example, if you set color property to a literal the value will be applied to all button states:

ButtonStyle(
    color=ft.Colors.WHITE
)

To configure style attribute for specific Material states set its value to a dictionary where the key is state name. For example, to configure different background colors for HOVERED and FOCUSED states and another colors for all other states:

ButtonStyle(
    color={
        ft.ControlState.HOVERED: ft.Colors.WHITE,
        ft.ControlState.FOCUSED: ft.Colors.BLUE,
        ft.ControlState.DEFAULT: ft.Colors.BLACK,
    }
)
