JD Builder Layout Settings

The design tab gives you control over every design aspect for the current section including background, color, width, spacing, typography and other settings. Let’s go over these settings one by one.

The Basic tab let’s you add a Custom ID or a Custom Class and manage the z-index of the specific section. You can use the custom ID(only in alphabets no numeric IDs) & class to write custom CSS if needed, the z-index property specifies the stack order of an section. An section with greater z-index/stack order is always in front of an section with a lower z-index/stack order.

The Background option lets you add a background color, image, gradient or video.

• You can easily select the color using the color picker.
• You can select multiple colors to create a gradient.
• Image & Video can be selected/uploaded using Media Manager.
