Display Options

Display Options setup is especially important for the this paragraph type. Upload background images/videos for the desktop version of the page and images for the mobile version. To make sure the text is readable, place it over a clear area of the image or choose an individual background color for it. Configure image/video dimensions and you are ready to go.

Important: Keep the same size for all uploaded images and videos within a slide element for a smooth change from slide to slide.

Background-Media Paragraph
Upload an image or video file for the slide.

Background-Image Paragraph Mobile
You can upload a different image for mobile devices.

Background Color Paragraph
The background color for your slide affects the color of the text within the textbox. The font color will automatically appear white, if you select a dark background for the paragraph. It won't interfere with the image display. 

Position Textbox
Choose where to place the textbox. The default None option positions the textbox to the top left corner.

Background-Color Textbox
Select a background color for the text box, independent of the background color of the slide. 

Minimal Height of Paragraph
Define the slide height in your browser. With a fixed height value, the width of the image will change to match the size of the browser window. You can either set the slide height here or upload images that already have proper dimensions for your slide. In this case, enable Use Image Dimensions. 

Use Parallax Effect
Learn more about this feature on the Parallax Effect page.

Use Image Dimensions
Enable the option to specify the size of an image for the slide before uploading it.  and to make sure it appears the same way in different display sizes. The display is responsive.

Important: Optimal image size for slides is 1920 x 1080 px. You can change the height of the image file, but keep the width. For example, upload 1920 x 700 px files for the slides on your page.

Show Play/Pause button

Let users control auto-rotation of the slides. A paused carousel improves accessibility for users with visual impairments and people who are distracted or confused by auto-rotation.
NOTE: If the user has chosen reduced motion in system settings, auto-rotation is always paused.

Show slide indicators

Display a set of dots that indicate the number of slides and the current position of the slide in the carousel.

Shuffle mode

Play a specified number of slides in a random order. This option helps to ensure page performance if you choose to display a large number of slides. 

Shuffle interval

Set a time interval for cache cleanup to reshuffle the slides.

NOTE: Use this setting carefully, as it affects the entire page. The smaller the interval, the more frequently the page is rerendered.

Maximum number of slides in shuffle mode

Limit the number of slides displayed in a sequence.
