What is Hover State?

The Hover State refers to the visual change that occurs when a user’s cursor hovers over a UI element, such as a button or link. This state provides feedback to users, indicating that the element is interactive and can be selected or clicked.

Common Hover State Effects:

  • Color Change: Alters the element’s color to signal interactivity.
  • Underlining: Text links may become underlined to indicate they are clickable.
  • Shadow or Animation: Adds depth or movement to highlight the element’s interactive nature.

Hover states enhance user experience by making interactive elements more noticeable and improving overall usability.
