To add a Scenographik background to your site:

A Scenographik background adds dynamic, animated patterns to your website sections. These backgrounds work with automatic layout sections, portfolio, and page block sections.

Technical Requirements:

  • Requires WebGL support in browser
  • Not available for gallery or collection sections
  • Includes accessibility pause button for animations

Adding a Scenographik Background:

  1. Open Pages panel and select your page
  2. Click Edit in top left corner
  3. Click the pencil icon in section
  4. Select Background
  5. Choose Graphics
  6. Pick a pattern panel (colors come from Bright palette options)

Customization Options:

  • Width: Full Bleed or Inset
  • Pattern variations via small circles above panel
  • Color inversion available
  • Random configuration option
  • Pattern-specific settings (size, movement, shapes)

Important Considerations:

  • Ensure text remains readable against background
  • Adjust font colors through Font Type tweaks
  • Background remains static if WebGL isn't supported
  • Changes save automatically when exiting editor

Customization Steps:

  1. Click settings icon in pattern panel
  2. Explore category dropdowns
  3. Adjust sliders and switches
  4. Test different combinations
  5. Preview changes in real-time
  6. Save and exit when satisfied

Remember to test your background across different devices to ensure optimal visibility and performance.
