Tile

Overview Style Guidelines Code Demos Accessibility

Style

A tile is available as a Link tile or Selectable tile. A link tile has two sizes and heading color options; the blue arrow in the bottom right corner helps distinguish it from card. A selectable tile has a consistent style for both the checkbox and radio button variants.

Sizes

A link tile is available in Default and Compact sizes. A selectable tile has only one size which is based on the size of a compact tile.

Theme

Both the link tile and the selectable tile are available in dark and light themes.

Light theme tiles use a white background, blue or black heading, black text, and a blue arrow icon Dark theme tiles use a dark gray background, blue or white heading, white text, and a light blue arrow icon

Heading color

A link tile has a blue heading by default, but a desaturated variant exists for both light and dark themes. The desaturated heading uses either a black or white heading. A selectable tile has a desaturated heading only and does not have the option for a blue heading.

Interaction states

Interaction states are visual representations used to communicate the status of an element or pattern. The interaction states of a default link tile are the same for a compact link tile as long as they use the same heading color. A selectable tile does not have an underlined heading to avoid users thinking it contains a link.

Hover

The hover state of a link tile also includes the arrow icon moving 3px to the right.

On hover, light theme tiles have a light gray background, an underlined (and sometimes darker blue) heading, a darker blue arrow icon On hover, dark theme tiles have a lighter gray background, an underlined (and sometimes lighter blue) heading, a lighter blue arrow icon
