New Design Customizations: Introducing 16 Button Options
Today we’re excited to announce the addition of not 5, not 10, but 16 new button options for your IntenseDebate comment system. This project has been a long in the making, and these new styles are now available in your Layout Settings page at http://intensedebate.com/edit-site-layout. There are 4 main button styles (apart from the normal text links): Default, Candy, Glass, and Square. Each style features some color and size variations, so you should be able to find something that fits nicely with your site’s theme.
Without further ado, we present the latest from our design labs:
Default
This is our beloved default button that’s in use across all IntenseDebate comment sections. We’ve introduced a twist with some new size variation: you can choose to only show large buttons.
Candy
Candy is the coolest of the cool when it comes to our new buttons. With 12 different color variations (in common colors ) there’s something for everyone. Our personal favorites include White, Light Blue (which is actually IntenseDebate-blue), Orange, and Green. You’ll actually find a similar button design around IntenseDebate.com – that’s how much we like them!
Glass
Glass is the classy choice. Available in White and Black, it’s a slick alternative to our flashy new Candy buttons. Glass buttons are designed to resemble clear or smoked glass.
Square
For those of you that might want something a bit more square, we now offer a variation to the Default buttons which features small rounded corners. It’s perfect if you don’t want your button too big, or don’t want it to stand out too much.
Head on over to your Blog Layout page to check out the new buttons and activate them.

Oh, I gotta love that! 😉 Nice guys, thanks!
Hurray! Thank you! Off to change my buttons right now!
Sweet! 😀
Reply button is a bit too big. Can we use custom css for button colour and size?
Of course, you can write custom CSS to exchange the button's background image and size, but we don't provide any additional graphics for buttons at the moment.
Good stuff!
😀
where can I find an example of an active site using intense debate?
We don't currently have a directory of sites using IntenseDebate, but this is a pretty good example of one! 😉 You can also check out:

Thank you, all buttons are fantastic, i like them, great job
Hi guys, I was wondering, is there a site where I can see all the "Intense Debates"? Where are the most interesting discussions? Who are the best debaters? Is there a place to do that? Are you thinking in implementing something like that?
Sorry for the delay. We don't currently have a directory or list of the best debaters. It's a cool idea though and something we'll keep in mind moving forward. Thanks for letting us know that you're interested!
Excellent improvement. Thanks
great!!!!!!!!!!! thank you I will use it 🙂
Looking good. The Blue Candy button fits on my blog perfectly.
Pleasant, thanks a lot 🙂
If I may make a suggestion, i'd really strongly recommend you apply the same talent to the emoticons we may insert in our comments.
Compared to standard wordpress emoticons, yours are still too small and grayish, that said without intention to hurt you…
I am really excited about the button too….but I can't seem to load them..will they work on Blogspot xml?
I'm happy to help. Can you please send me details and specific links to where the issue is occurring? Please email me at support@intensedebate.com and I'll take a look. Thanks.
These new buttons are great. My website look looks fantastic with these new buttons. A very good job ! 🙂
Nice, glad I can add some flavor to my blog. mmm candy.
Looking good, now it's do combining with my site.
We're happy to lend a hand, so please email me with any questions at support@intensedebate.com. 🙂

That's a great new feature. Sadly that I'm using custom CSS.
BTW, is there any way to edit the language strings? My language (bulgarian) has partial support and some words are not translated correctly.
Are you encountering an issue with our buttons and your CSS? We're happy to help. Can you please send me details at support@intensedebate.com?
We're aware of a bug with our translation that's causing the "Comments" string to be in English. We're working to correct this and should have it completed soon. Sorry for the inconvenience. Thanks for your patience.

[…] Твърдо “за” IntenseDebate март 4, 2010 wordpress 0 IntenseDebate надделя и сега набира сила, поне що се отнася до WordPress. Не е странно при все че отдавна вече фирмата е част от Automattic. Хубавото е, че вече няма някои от проблемите, които преди бяха основна пречка. Има вече нови стилове на бутоните, което открих по случайност, а днес видях, че и в блога на IntenseDebate са го отбелязали. […]
good staff, thanks a lot
Clean, crisp and shiny. Beauty in simplicity. Really enjoy those. Thanks for sharing.
