Custom Facebook LIKE and Tweet buttons?

Just to be clear, you can't customize the Like button. The Like button is completely controlled by Facebook to prevent abuse because, once it's clicked, the user has then "Liked" the content. If you could control the appearance of that button, it would be ripe for abuse.

With that said, you *can* customize the Share button. We have support for that, but it's not well documented. To do so, you simply need to create your button or image however you want and then use the following Javascript:An example would be:We don't have a similar method for Twitter yet, but it will be coming in a future release.

I hope that helps explain and answer your question, but if you need any more help, just let me know!

Thanks,

We have a task for our 6.2 release to add the ability for custom sharing buttons for the other social networks. With that said, for a custom Twitter share button, I'd recommend checking out the documentation from Twitter, below:
dev.twitter.com/docs/tweet-button
Specifically, at the very bottom is a "Build Your Own Tweet Button" section, which gives a quick example of HTML and CSS you could use in the meantime.

Thanks, Alex, and congrats on what looks like a new baby?!?!

Hehe.. whoops. I was testing with my Facebook account and updated the profile picture without changing it back. That baby is now my 4 year old girl.. not much of a baby anymore. We also have a 2 year old boy. They keep us very busy and still act very much like babies sometimes

Thanks,
Alex
