Sections include general style options. In the editor side panel, click the section to find settings for Section colors, image overlays, padding, and animations.

Section colors


You can change a section's color scheme or use custom colors for your section. Click a section to open the settings and find the Section colors area.

Soft

Use a blend of default Text and Background colors.

Accent

Image overlays


When text appears on top of images, sections use Image overlay colors for the text. You can use the default colors from your theme settings, or select custom colors for the section.

The overlay also applies a tint over top the image. You can use a solid or gradient color, or turn it off.

Section animations


When animations are enabled, text and images are loaded dynamically: section contents slide, fade, zoom, or ease into position at a delay rather than all at once.
