This documentation provides comprehensive insights into the Extra tabs controls developed by Zoloblocks.

Extra Tab

This section enhances the interactivity and engagement of blocks by incorporating additional features. It allows for customization such as setting background colors and adding animations to sections, thereby making the blocks more visually appealing and interactive.

Spacing

Spacing refers to the amount of distance or separation between elements in a layout. It can include padding and margin.

1. Margin: Margin is the space around an element, outside of any defined borders. It creates separation between the element and surrounding elements
2. Padding: Padding is the space between the content of an element and its border. It adds internal space within the element,

Overflow

This property is useful for controlling the behavior of content within elements, especially when dealing with content that may extend beyond the boundaries of its container.

• Visible: Content is not clipped and may overflow the container.
• Hidden: Content that overflows the container is clipped and not visible.
• Scroll: Content is clipped, and a scrollbar is added to allow users to scroll and see the overflowed content.
• Auto: Similar to scroll, a scrollbar is added only when needed, based on the content size.

Z Index

It’s commonly used to control the layering of elements in a webpage, especially in situations where elements overlap.

1. Set Z Index: Set value for Elements with a higher z-index value will appear on top of elements with a lower z-index value.

Custom Attributes

Custom attributes are particularly handy for developers who want to extend the functionality of HTML without relying on non-standard attributes or cluttering the markup with unnecessary classes or IDs.

1. Add Wrapper ID: You can replace “wrapper” with any unique identifier you prefer. This ID can then be used for styling with CSS or for targeting the element with JavaScript.
2. ADD CUSTOM CLASS: You can replace “custom-class” with any unique class name you prefer. This class can then be used for styling with CSS or for targeting the element with JavaScript. If you want to add multiple classes.

Custom CSS

Custom CSS allows you to define your styles to apply to elements. This customization allows for unique designs and better organization of styling code.

1. Custom CSS Input fields: Set your custom CSS code in the input fields. This helps you write the CSS code to achieve that design.
   Note: To work with the zolo block CSS you need to use {{ZOLO}} as a prefix.
2. Suggested Classes: The suggested classes will appear here. Select any Zolo block item.

Motion Effect

Motion effects in web design refer to the use of animations, transitions, or dynamic changes to create visual movement or interactivity on a webpage. These effects can be applied to various elements such as text, images, buttons, and backgrounds to enhance user engagement and create a more dynamic user experience.

Entrance Tab

Entrance animations are motion effects applied to elements as they appear on the screen,

1. Entrance Animation: Enable the Entrance Animation switcher to work with it.
2. Animation Type: Set the animation type for the entrance( e.g.: Fade, Scale, Top, Bottom Medium, etc.)
3. Delay(ms): Set delay time to show the entrance animation.

Floating Tab

Floating animation is a dynamic effect where elements appear to float or move gently across the screen.

1. Floating Animation: Enable the switcher to show the floating animation.
2. Translate: The Translate function is used to move an element along the X and Y axes.
3. Rotate: The Rotate function is used to rotate an element around a specified point.
4. Scale: The scale function is used to resize an element along the X and Y axes.

5. Skew: The function used to distort an element along the X and Y axes
6. Opacity: This property that controls the transparency level of an element.
7. Easing Type: Set easing type that can be applied to CSS animations and transitions to create more natural and visually appealing motion effects.
8. Perspective: The perspective” is a property used in 3D transformations to create the illusion of depth and distance on a two-dimensional plane.

9. Delay(Ms): The “delay” property specifies a time interval before the animation or transition begins.
10. Transition Duration(Ms): The “transition-duration” property specifies the duration over which a transition effect occurs.

Transform

Transformations can be combined and applied simultaneously to create dynamic visual effects and animations on web elements.

The appearance changes will be visible in normal and hover states. Let’s customize it.

Translate

1. Translate: The Translate function is used to move an element along the X and Y axes.
2. translateX: The translateX() function in CSS is used to move an element horizontally along the X-axis.
3. translateY: The translateY() function in CSS is used to move an element vertically along the Y-axis.

Rotate

1. Rotate: The function is used to rotate an element around a fixed point determined by its center.
2. Rotate: Set value for rotation.
   

Scale

1. Scale: It allows you to specify scaling factors for both axes, controlling the element’s size relative to its original dimensions.
2. ScaleX: The function is used to resize an element along the X-axis only.
3. ScaleY: The function is used to resize an element along the Y-axis only.

Skew

The function is used to skew an element along the X and Y axes. It allows you to specify angles of skewing for both axes.

1. SkewX(deg): It allows you to specify an angle of skewing for the horizontal dimension of the element.
2. SkewY(deg): It allows you to specify an angle of skewing for the vertical dimension of the element.

Flip

Flipping an element involves reversing its appearance along either the horizontal or vertical axis.

Flip Horizontal

1. Flip Horizontal: Enable the flip horizontal switcher to work with Flip.
2. X Anchor Point: To specify an anchor point for transformations along the X-axis (e.g.: Left, Center, Right ).
3. Y Anchor Point: To specify an anchor point for transformations along the Y-axis (e.g.: Left, Center, Right ).

Flip Vertical

1. Flip Vertical: Enable the flip vertical switcher to work with Flip.
2. X Anchor Point: To specify an anchor point for transformations along the X-axis (e.g.: Left, Center, Right ).
3. Y Anchor Point: To specify an anchor point for transformations along the Y-axis (e.g.: Left, Center, Right ).

By following this you can make the layout more interactive and visually stylish.
