In the header and mobile drawer, Simple Link Button Size changes text size only (Small / Default / Large)—not pill padding. Top-bar Simple Links still use Simple Link Font (Size is hidden there). Filled buttons keep the usual Small / Default / Large pill sizes.

When the hero text box uses Effect Glass, Grain, or Pattern (including Custom SVG), Rim (0–50px) frames the effect. New Effect text boxes default to a 25px rim with a solid face. Set Rim to 0 for a full-panel effect. Existing saved values stay as they were.

Use SW Footer Columns for a logo-above, multi-column sitemap-style footer (default two columns: brand + navigation). Use SW Footer Simple for a stacked band (logo, menu, social, copyright). Publish global footer content after adding either module.

SW Helper Animation enables animation options for other modules and headings but does not display any content itself. Add it once in the global footer, or place it as the last module on the page. Add the animation name to the module or heading you want to animate—not to SW Helper Animation. Use Custom Classes for a whole module, use the heading's CSS Class field for a heading, and turn on Enable parallax in SW Helper Animation when you want a background image to move as the visitor scrolls. Animations are reduced or removed for visitors who prefer less motion. See SW Module Documentation for approved animation names and examples.

Animated is an optional Module Outer background. It plays a moving ribbon (desktop WebGL) behind the hero. Choose Motion Roll or Ripple, then Artwork Wave 1–5. Existing heroes stay unchanged until you pick Animated. It is not available on Module Inner or the text box.

Ripple (and Roll) is the motion engine. Wave 1–5 are the ribbon drawings. You can run Ripple or Roll on any of those five artworks. Theme or Custom color recolors the lines; fade comes from each line’s opacity in the file.

Phones, coarse pointers, and reduced-motion settings show a still version of the same artwork (with your rotate and scale). Desktop can play the motion. Outer Aurora Overlay is hidden while Animated is selected.

Yes. First choose the surface you want to style: Module Inner, a content column, the form box, or the media column. Set that surface's background option to Effect, then use Effect Type to choose Glass, Grain, or Pattern. An Effect covers the selected surface. Module Inner Rim is a separate treatment for the Inner layer.

Open Style → Module Background Settings → Module Outer Background Options. Choose Animated for Roll or Ripple motion across the outer band. For Aurora, enable Outer Aurora Overlay with a compatible Outer background. Aurora does not display when the Outer background is Animated, None, or Divider. Module Inner has a separate Inner Aurora Overlay.

Content Colors → Text Color controls Content Area paragraphs, along with Auto headings, bullets, and links. If a paragraph keeps a different color, open the rich-text editor and remove any color applied directly to that text. Also check whether Text Color is set to Auto when you expected a specific color. Publish the page and hard-refresh only after those settings are correct.
