Mouse Effects – Mouse Track

Mouse Effects – Mouse Track

Set an element to move in relation to the visitor』s mouse movement.

Advanced or Style > Background

Motion Effects

Mouse Effects: Slide to ONMouse Track: Click pencil edit iconDirection: Choose from Opposite or Direct. Opposite will move the element in the opposite direction of the mouse movement. Direct will move the element in the same direction as the mouse movement.Speed: Set the speed from 0 to 10Apply Effects On: Select to apply the motion effects on Desktop, Tablet, and/or Mobile devices.Effects Relative To: Choose from Default, Viewport, or Entire Page

Note: In Safari, if you are not seeing mouse effects, or you are experiencing the problem of elements disappearing in Safari, this is due to an old jQuery version being used by WordPress. In some cases, viewing Mouse Track effects via Safari might cause a jQuery error which will cause elements to disappear, such as missing carousel arrows, for example. If this happens, you may also see an error which references 「maximum call stack size exceeded」. To resolve the issue, either remove entrance animations from widgets with motion effects and/or remove mouse effects from areas that have both scrolling and mouse effects simultaneously activated.

How To Set Absolute Position For An Element

How To Set Absolute Position For An Element

Set Absolute Position for an element, with the ability to set positioning separately for desktop, tablet, and mobile devices.

Positions Explained

Static Position – The element is in its natural state, positioned merely by the natural flow of the page. This is the default position of all elements.

Absolute Position – The element is positioned absolutely to its first positioned parent.

Fixed Position – The element is positioned relative to the user』s viewport.

How to Set An Element Using Absolute Positioning

Under any widget go to the Advanced tab > Custom Positioning

Absolute: Click pencil icon to set the element to absolute on.Grab the element and drag and drop it on your specific position.

Tip: You can manually enter the numeric X and Y positions in the Horizontal and Vertical Offset scales.

What is Horizontal and Vertical Orientation?

These set the reference point for the absolute positioning, with options of Start and End for each.

Note:  Absolute positioning is not the recommended method for building web page layouts. Having said that, it does come in handy in many situations where you want to position the various page elements more freely.

Dark Mode

Dark Mode

Elementor』s Dark Mode saves your laptops』 battery life (while helping the environment), eases eye strain, particularly at night, and provides contrast improvement in the editor panel for better accessibility.

Select Mode

Go to Elementor Widget Panel > Hamburger Menu > Preferences > UI ThemeChoose Auto Detect, Light, or Dark

Note: Most modern browsers allow websites and web apps to automatically display Dark Mode based on the user』s preference which they have assigned via their operating system. If Auto Detect is chosen for Elementor』s UI Theme, your preferences as defined by your Operating System (OS) and controlled by your browser will be used.
