== Patch Testing Report
Patch Tested: https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-develop/pull/11282
=== Environment
- WordPress: 7.0-beta5-61991-src
- PHP: 8.3.30
- Server: nginx/1.29.5
- Database: MySQL 8.4.8
- Browser: Brave
- OS: Ubuntu
- Theme: Twenty Twenty-Five 1.4
- MU Plugins: None
- Plugins: WP Button Variations Checker 1.1.0
=== Steps taken
1. Applied patch from PR #11282 using git apply
2. Rebuilt CSS using npm run build:dev
3. Navigated to the WP Button Variations Checker plugin page
4. Observed the Secondary button rows - active state is now
clearly different from the default state
5. Navigated to Settings -> Permalinks
6. Clicked the **`%hour%`** structure tag
7. The active tag now has a visible background and inset shadow
✅ Patch is solving the problem
=== Expected result
Secondary variation buttons and structure tags on the Permalinks page
should have a pressed/active state that is easy to tell apart from the
default state.
=== Additional Notes
- Tested with the Default (purple) admin color scheme from the
WP 7.0 admin reskin
- The patch raises the active state background opacity from 0.04
to 0.15 and adds an inset box-shadow - the pressed state is
now clearly visible
- Button group active states also show improved distinction
- WP Button Variations Checker plugin used for testing:
