Example 1: Adding a Fade-Out Effect to a Gradient Background

We'll work with a website where a few sections and backgrounds are already set up. In preview mode, you'll notice the backgrounds are static by default. To start adding some effects, follow these steps:

1. Select a section with a gradient background: Click on the section you want to apply the effect to and open the design tab.

2. Choose the effect: Click on the background scroll effect icon located in the Inspector panel. When the background scroll effect options appear, hover over the icons to preview the different effects. Choose "Fade Out" for this example. *Note that this effect will apply to all breakpoints.*

3. Preview your effect: Hit the "Preview" button to see your background scroll effect in action. You'll notice the background color fades out as you scroll down the page.

Example 2: Adding an Effect to a Section Background with an Image

Now let's look at how to add a background scroll effect to a section with an image background. Follow these steps:

1. Set an image background: If you haven't already, set an image as the section's background through the design tab in the Inspector panel.

2. Select the effect: As with the gradient background example, click on the background scroll effect icon and choose the desired effect. Keep in mind that certain effects are available only for specific background types.

3. Preview your effect: Hit the "Preview" button to see how the image background scroll effect looks on your site.

Tips for Creating Engaging and Dynamic Scroll Effects

Now that you know how to add background scroll effects to your site's sections in Editor X, here are some tips to ensure your effects are engaging and improve the overall user experience:

1. Experiment with different effects: Try different background scroll effects and play around with their settings to find the perfect balance for your website design.

2. Don't go overboard: While it's tempting to use multiple scroll effects for a single section, be cautious about using too many effects together. This can be distracting for visitors and result in a less enjoyable browsing experience.

3. Test on multiple devices: As you design your website and incorporate scroll effects, make sure to test your site on various devices and screen sizes to ensure that the effects work well for all visitors.
