title: How to change the style of the Facebook share button?
body: <p>I know this question has been asked before, but the answer is either outdated (talking about iframes), wrong (not allowed to change it), or confusing.</p>
  
  <p>Once and for all, how do you change the style of the Facebook share button?</p>
  
  <p>Pasting their code into my site produces some ugly looking thing of the wrong size and in the wrong language.</p>
  
  <p><strong>I want it to look like the other buttons on my site, and I want the text on it to be what I say it should be.</strong> Even if it can't be the exact text I use, it should at least be in the right language, like the Twitter button.</p>
  
  <p>Browsing the dev guide on Facebook's site I found the following quote:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>If your website doesn't need a button to open share dialog or <strong>Facebook
    provided button doesn't fit into your website design</strong>, Web Share Dialog
    is also provided for sharing links.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>However, the Web Share Dialog is <em>the</em> most confusing thing I've ever read about. It gives zero actual guidance and comes with a bunch of confusing statements.</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>The Share dialog gives people the ability to publish an individual
    story to their timeline, a friend's timeline, a group, or in a private
    message on Messenger. This does not require Facebook Login or any
    extended permissions, so it is the easiest way to enable sharing on
    the web.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>What? People without Facebook accounts can share things on their timeline? They don't even have a timeline...</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Trigger a Share Dialog using the FB.ui function with the share method
    parameter to share a link.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>I have no idea what it is and they don't explain it.</p>
  
  <p>This goes on and on, and I literally understand NOTHING and I'm not some stupid Wordpress blogger.</p>
  
  <p><strong>Can someone please explain how to go about doing this since Facebook refuses to?</strong></p>
  
  <p><strong>Edit:</strong> I've gotten as far as using the Facebook Javascript SKD now, but it requests an <code>app_id</code>.</p>
  
  <p>Their page says that an <code>app_id</code> is:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Your app's unique identifier. Required.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>But I'm not making an app. I'm making a webpage...</p>
