A tactile raised button with a fixed depth base — lifts on hover, snaps down on press.
MSource LandMellow UIWhy it stands out
A tactile raised button with a fixed depth base — lifts on hover, snaps down on press.
You are given a task to integrate a React component into your codebase.
Please verify your project has the following setup:
- shadcn/ui project structure
- Tailwind CSS v4.0
- TypeScript
- motion/react v11
If any of these are missing, provide instructions on how to setup project via shadcn CLI, install Tailwind or TypeScript.
Determine the default path for components and styles. Mellow components live in `components/mellow/`. If that folder does not exist yet, create it.

Usage notes:
Add a DepthButton from the mellow library. It's a raised 3D button with a depth base that the face snaps into on press. Use variant='default' for neutral glass style, variant='accent' for blue, or variant='destructive' for red delete/danger actions. The depth prop (default 4) controls how tall the raised block looks in pixels.Discovery vocabulary
