Design

  1. Don’t need to show the event time? Use the Time toggle to show or hide this detail, allowing you to simplify the design when the date alone is enough or highlight time-specific events when needed.

  2. Slide Title Style - Choose from two distinct title styles to suit your design needs. One style features the title in the top right corner for a clean, subtle look, while the second option adds a bold bar across the top header, giving your title extra prominence and making it stand out. Pick the style that best compliments your brand and overall visual design.
