Updated: 7 days ago
Change your strip's background settings so that it appears exactly as you like on your site. You can customize the settings of each strip background type; color, image, and video.
Changing your strip settings
Strip settings are different depending on the background type you choose (color, image or video). You have the option to customize aspects such as color and image opacity, overlay patterns and video play speed.
To change your strip settings:
Click the strip.
Click Change Strip Background.
Click Settings
Customize your strip type using the options available:
Color settings
Click the color box to select a new color for your strip background. Then drag the slider to adjust the strip's transparency to perfectly suit your site's design.
Image settings
Adjust the settings of your strip image to suit your site's design.
Image Opacity: Drag the slider to adjust the transparency of the image and expose some elements that the strip covers.
Color Behind Image: Choose a color to appear behind your image when you lower the opacity of the image.
How's the image scaled?: Enlarge or reduce the size of the strip's image.
Original Size: The original size image is displayed. Parts of it may be cut off.
Scale to Fill: The image is resized to fill the available space. You may want to reposition it.
Tile: The image is displayed in tile formation across the available space.
Where is it positioned?: Select a section of the grid to choose which part of your image is in focus within the confines of your strip.
Image Text: Add a description of your strip image to improve your site's SEO and accessibility.
Video settings
Adjust the settings of your strip video to suit your site's design.
Want to add an overlay pattern?: Choose a cool overlay pattern that sits on top of your background video. Click Darker or Lighter to change the contrast of the overlay.
Video opacity: Drag the slider to make the video more or less visible.
Color behind video: Select the color that's behind the video background.
Where's the video positioned?: Select a section of the grid to choose which part of your video is in focus within the confines of your strip.
How does the video play?:
Play Speed: Choose to play your video at its original speed (normal) or at 0.5 / 0.25 times the original speed.
Play in a loop: Click the toggle to enable automatic looping of your background.
Tip:
We recommend that you play around with the settings and preview your site to see what looks best.
Note:
The strip settings are different depending on the background type (color, image or video).
Changing the image scaling and position on a strip
If the image you're using on your strip is a different size or shape to the strip itself (or column inside the strip), part of the image might be cut off or simply not appear as you wish. You can play around with the image scaling and positioning to fix this.
To change the image scaling and position on a strip:
Select the image on the strip.
Depending on whether the your image takes up the whole strip or just a column, do one of the following:
Whole strip: Click Change Strip Background.
Column only: Click Change Column Background.
Click Settings.
Scroll down to Scaling & Positioning.
Click the How's the image scaled? drop-down and select an option:
Original Size: The original size image is displayed. Parts of it may be cut off.
Scale to Fill: The image is resized to fill the available space. You may want to reposition it.
Tile: The image is displayed in tile formation across the available space.
Select a position for your image under Where is it positioned?.
Tip: This is helpful if your image is not centered or is focused on the wrong area.
Tip:
Alternatively, you can crop the image to better fit the available space.
