Design Feature Request

Summary

The install button is hard to identify as a clickable button (https://www.rust-lang.org/tools/install).
Should either be smaller or use a verb.

Using a verb

Motivation

It is difficult to immediately identify it as a button. It passes off as another piece of content, like an aside, card or section.

Also, we should be consistent with button text. Other site buttons use verbs and/or have smaller widths to easily identify as buttons.

Drawbacks

  • No drawbacks by adding a verb
  • If adding max-width then decisions will need to be made for alignment, and max-width amount.

Rationale and alternatives

  • Ideally it would be nice to have a seamless install for those that are seeking to get started with Rust. The impact of not doing this is that some Windows users may struggle for a few seconds when trying to install Rust.
  • This is the best design because it is consistent with the rest of the site
  • Alternative: give .buttons class a max-width so it will not span the entire width of content

  • Alternative 2: Use a verb and add max-width
