Description

Currently, the tints on the button component do not affect children (e.g the text) which seems odd. This can make fading the button on hover, click etc difficult.

Example here when clicking: https://playcanvas.com/editor/scene/1034629

I think that the children should be affected like the Image Element Group Type.
