Micro Interactions: UI Animation Examples

Micro interactions for buttons, checkboxes and tooltips: slide, jelly, glow, morph and feedback treatments selected from existing components. Use a small interaction to clarify a change of state or acknowledge an action. Apply a consistent motion language rather than giving each control a different personality.

01

What is inside

Micro interactions for buttons, checkboxes and tooltips: slide, jelly, glow, morph and feedback treatments selected from existing components.

02

When to use it

Use a small interaction to clarify a change of state or acknowledge an action. Apply a consistent motion language rather than giving each control a different personality.

03

Customize and integrate

Adapt colors and labels to the meaning of the action. Inspect the selected component and available export options, then connect its visual feedback to the real application state.

04

Before publishing

Test focus, touch and reduced-motion behavior. Tooltips must not be the only source of essential instructions, and a checkbox animation must preserve the checked state.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Still unsure? Write to support@horizonx.so.

What is a micro interaction?

It is a small response around a specific action or state, such as a checkbox changing or a button acknowledging a pointer interaction.

Are hover effects enough for feedback?

No. Keyboard and touch users also need clear states. Pair pointer effects with focus and persistent state indicators where appropriate.

Should every control animate?

Use motion selectively. A consistent, restrained response is easier to understand than a page full of unrelated effects.
