What?

the design of the buttons is not consistent. We should define a clear system, which form the buttons have, when a button should be long/short, when it should have shadows and when there is an icon.

  • Shadows
    usually the buttons don't have a shadow, except for the "Create a new group" button in Kompakkt:

and for the "Choose files/folders" buttons in the upload process:

  • Form and color
    for "New Object", "New Collection"(Kompakkt), "Publish" and "Annotate"(semantic-kompakkt) we use the round button and the buttons are colored.
    The rounded and colored form is also often used just for an information. I think it's confusing, because you mistake the information for a button.

Here is information used at the bottom right and at the top are buttons:

This is also information in the user profile:

Here you can use the toggle button with the buttons at the side, but they are not buttons in a sense that they open a new side/option.
Next to them is another button but with another form: rounded corners

Those buttons with the rounded corners and short length and also colored is also used in dialogs, in the stepper-header:

The stepper header (in the metadata window and Upload process):

There are also buttons with rounded corners and long length in dialogs, mostly they are white, with colored font:
Here in the upload process (grey when disabled):

here in the metadata process editor:
the "add" button is here a colored and long one.

Dialogs like closing the setting viewer, deleting an object and resetting the upload queue have colored long buttons in a small dialog window:
