 ### Building the main button
 
-The starting point of ever speed dial button is a main toggle button. Use the `buttonBuilder` to create your own custom toggle button. You can use any combination of widgets there. The only important thing is, that one of the widgets must call the `toggle` function provided by the builder on your desired user interaction.
-To reflect the state of the speed dial you can alter your widget based on the `isActive` parameter. To transition between both states consider using an `AnimatedSwitcher` or any other [flutter implicitly animated widget](https://api.flutter.dev/flutter/widgets/ImplicitlyAnimatedWidget-class.html).

+To reflect the state of the speed dial you can alter your widget based on the `controller.isActive`, `controller.status` or `controller.animation` parameter using a transition widget or something like an [AnimatedBuilder](https://api.flutter.dev/flutter/widgets/AnimatedBuilder-class.html). Either listen to the `controller` for status changes or to the `controller.animation` to animate together with the speed dial.
