Measured entry
uilayouts-btn-hover-multiple
hover-effectgradient-glowmotion on file
A client-side React button shipped as a shadcn registry component. It uses Tailwind utility classes and arbitrary box-shadow values to slide a pill-shaped face over stacked colored shadows on hover. It has no package dependencies, but its label and styling are fixed in the source.

Verdict
A dependable one-off effect with a compact, readable source and clean verified behavior. The hardcoded copy and lack of a props API keep it from being a true shared button, so treat it as a starting point and add focus, form, and interaction behavior to match your product.
Use it if
- You need a prominent contact or campaign call to action with a playful layered hover treatment.
- Your app already uses Tailwind and can accommodate a one-off button rather than a shared design-system primitive.
- You are comfortable adapting the fixed label, colors, click behavior, and button semantics in the component source.
Skip it if
- You need a reusable button API with children, variants, disabled or loading states, and event props.
- Your interface needs the visual treatment to respond equally to keyboard focus or touch, since the stacked movement is hover-driven.
- The button will sit inside a form unless you are prepared to add an explicit type and submit behavior.
- Your project does not use Tailwind or disallows arbitrary utility values.
Install
| Declared dependencies | none declared |
|---|---|
| Missing on install | none |
| Bare install | builds and mounts without the shadcn-style helpers |
| Provider | no provider required in the harness |
In a non-shadcn React project, copy the component into your source tree, enable Tailwind processing for that path, and ensure your Tailwind version supports the gradient and arbitrary shadow utilities used here. Add your own click handling, configurable content, focus treatment, and an explicit button type.
