Questions ## Colour Parade: common questions What is Colour Parade for? Suits a lively gallery or brand page between calmer sections, where a moving ribbon of numbered images adds energy without a slider. Typical uses: colour research gallery, brand mood page, paint or textile range showcase and art school exhibition strip. Does Colour Parade need a plugin? Yes. Designed Patterns come with a subscription, which includes the Pattern Paste plugin that runs them; Colour Parade arrived in plugin 0.35.0. Without the plugin, or on an older version, it pastes as plain WordPress blocks: the content reads in order, without the designed layout. What can I edit in Colour Parade? As pasted it has 5 images, 1 heading and 13 text lines, 13 of them optional and removable. The items are a repeatable set: the item controls add one or remove the last. The layout stays protected while you edit. Unlock layout, in the section’s settings, lets you insert, move and remove any block. Will Colour Parade match my theme? Choose Designed to keep its own palette and type, or Use my theme to let it follow your theme’s colours and fonts. Either works in any block theme on WordPress 7.0 or later. Choose Use my theme in the preview above to see it follow a theme before you copy. Can the motion be switched off? Yes. Turn off Animate changes in the section settings, and visitors who ask their device for reduced motion get the same: the section shows its final state at once and anything they can press or drag still works. With JavaScript off, all content stays visible.
