Banner Widgets

This new widget type allows you to make the entire widget area clickable:

You can assign actions to this clickable area the same way you did with buttons: 

You can create both image-based banners and banners made of a custom combination of image and other elements. For each banner widget, you can choose a specific “Aspect Ratio” in absolute and relative terms, or specify the custom banner size as needed. To simplify this step, we have included the most commonly used banner sizes in the preset options.

To ensure a smooth transition of horizontal layout banners from desktop to mobile version, it is important to consider whether you want to use a different aspect ratio for the mobile version. You can specify a different aspect ratio for the mobile version of the banner as needed.

The “Background Overlay Image” is a new settings option, allowing you to use a custom image as a mask over the widget’s background. With it, you can create designs with custom-shaped figures assigned via overlay image. Here are a few examples:

Banners might require a different size and aspect ratio for mobile version, so we also added settings to enable the use of a different background image and overlay for mobile version of banners:

You can find the new Banners widgets in the relevant section of widget templates.
