🎯 Purpose

The Slides widget helps you create full-screen or section-width slide presentations. It’s ideal for hero areas, feature highlights, or storytelling sections where you want to show multiple slides with titles, descriptions, buttons, and background visuals.


⚙️ Core Slide Elements

Each slide can include:

  • Background: Use images, videos, gradients, or solid colors.

  • Heading & Description: Add title and supporting text.

  • Button: Include a call-to-action with link and icon options.

  • Alignment: Define text and button alignment both vertically and horizontally on the slide.


✨ Slide Behavior Controls

  • Height Options: Set slide height to full viewport, fit-to-content, or a custom height.

  • Transition Type: Choose motion transitions like slide or fade between slides.

  • Autoplay Settings: Enable slides to switch automatically, set interval duration, loop behavior, and enable pause-on-hover.

  • Navigation Controls: Include arrows or dots for manual control and customize their appearance and position.


🎨 Style & Visual Customization

Slide Background Styling

  • Adjust opacity, overlays, and blend modes.

  • Apply filters like blur, brightness, or contrast.

Content Style

  • Set typography for headings and descriptions.

  • Customize text and button colors (normal/hover).

  • Add shadows, borders, and hover effects to buttons.

Navigation Style

  • Style arrows and dots: size, color, spacing, and hover effects.


🛠️ Advanced Options

  • Responsive Behavior: Configure layouts and typography separately for desktop, tablet, and mobile.

  • Spacing & Positioning: Manage margins, padding, and z-index positioning.

  • Custom CSS & HTML Anchors: For additional styling and in-page navigation.


✅ Best Practices

  • Balance text placement—central alignment often enhances readability.

  • Combine autoplay with pause-on-hover to accommodate both automated and manual browsing.

  • Keep text concise and button messages clear for user engagement.

  • Ensure button contrast and sizing are optimized for all devices.


📌 Ideal Use Cases

  • Hero or welcome banners with slide transitions.
