Countdown timer

• Layout (desktop): Choose between stacked or split on desktop. Content on mobile is always stacked in a single column. If the stack layout is chosen, the countdown timer position can be reordered by changing the order of the blocks. If the split layout is chosen, the countdown itself will always be pulled to one side (as in the above example).

• Horizontal alignement: See common settings

• Vertical alignment: Only applies when media is selected and the media (or selected desktop/mobile height) is taller than the content itself.

• Media: You can choose between image or video for both desktop and mobile. For example, you may select a desktop video but choose an image for mobile to improve performance on mobile data devices. Note: The video settings take precedence over the image settings, so clear your video selection to display the selected image instead.

• Video settings:

  • Enable autoplay: This will autoplay the video when it's in view. If you have concerns about accessibility, we do not recommend enabling this option. Note that by enabling autoplay, your video will be muted. If you need the video to include sound, please disable autoplay.

  • Play button display: Always display the play button or only display it on hover/focus.

  • Play button style: Choose between primary, secondary or text for the play button.

  • Play button alignment: Choose top left, center or top right for the play button position.

• Media layout:

  • Desktop/mobile height: Choose between Adapt, which uses the same aspect ratio as the uploaded image, or one of three fixed sizes, Small, Medium and Large, for both desktop and mobile.

  • Stack content: By default, text content is positioned over the image (the never option). When stacked, content will be positioned below the image instead of overlaid. Choose to stack on mobile only or always to stack on bock desktop and mobile.

  • Media frame: Can be used to add a border or frame effect to your image. The background color of this frame inherits from the current color scheme.

  • Media content padding: When the text content is overlaid, this setting allows you to choose its spacing from the edge of media. This setting may therefore only be noticeable when the content is aligned to the top/bottom or left/right. Default aligns the content to the page width where possible.

• Colors:

  • Enable overlay: Use this option to improve readability of the text over all screen sizes. Applying a semi-transparent overlay is a great way to ensure both the image and text are visible.

  • Overlay color: Choose a linear gradient to apply when the overlay is enabled.
