Motion without Pro

Rekhu Builder 0.9.21 brings parallax, scroll drift and fade-in to free Elementor as panels on every container and widget, lets Theme Settings sit in a menu of its own, and gives the Form widget a full Style tab.

Three requests that came up on the same afternoon, answered in one release.

Parallax, scroll drift, fade-in

Elementor's motion effects belong to Pro, and the usual way around it is a pasted script block. From Rekhu Builder 0.9.21 every container has a Rekhu Builder motion panel under Style: a background parallax with a depth, and a fade-in. Every widget has one under Advanced: a scroll drift up or down with an amount, and a fade-in with a delay. Section widgets, and the widgets of every theme Rekhu Builder builds, get a Parallax switch in their Layout panel. One small script of the plugin's own draws all of it, and a visitor who asked their system for less motion sees the page standing still. Ask for parallax on the hero and the pictures, and the agent sets the panels and says what moves.

Theme Settings where you want them

A built theme's settings page sat under Appearance. It can now be a menu of its own in the sidebar, chosen on the page itself under Identity & brand or when the theme is built. Every link to the page follows the choice.

A form styled like the design

The Rekhu Builder Form widget has a full Style tab: Fields, Labels, Button and Card, with colours, borders, radius, padding, typography, hover states, full width and shadow. A screenshot of a dark card with slate fields and a blue button is matched on the widget, without rebuilding the form from loose inputs and losing its protection.

Update to 0.9.21 from your account, or let the plugin update itself.
