Color Scheme

There are many color schemes included. Select the one that meets your design better. Several samples:

Orientation

There are 4 orientation options - left edge, right edge, top and bottom. If you set panels for pages, then this is the orientation on the page. The panels will be visible independently on the screen size, for smaller screens they will be displayed at the edge of the visible area.

If this is the orientation of an HTML element, for example main product description block, then the panel will be shown at the edge of the block.

Creating a New Panel

Visible to

In this setting you can select who should be able to see the panel. For example you want to add special links to logged in customers only - select Customers. Or you want to stimulate your visitors to create accounts - then make this panel visible to visitors only.
