Further colours in the colour controls

We expand the colour palette for two UI elements in LXT to a maximum of seven (previously a maximum of three was possible: primary colour, light, dark).

Slideshow: Colour of the controls/arrows
Slideshow / Flipcard: Colour of the icons (may be chosen individually for each card)

If you would also like to have other colours for these elements, please send us the exact values to support@bildungsinnnovator.com.

Standard values for element paddings/spacings

The default value for element spacing is 1, but it can sometimes be the case that a spacing of 2 makes more sense for tablets or smartphones. There is a new feature in the settings of learning modules to set this as the new default (for each viewport) and apply it to existing elements if necessary (checkbox).

Note: If you have already set different spacings, the current status will be lost if the checkbox is activated. The values for the spacings are overwritten for all existing elements. There is no check whether individual elements do not match to the previous specifications.

Open the learning module settings.
Click on tab „element paddings“.
Customize the the spacings of each viewport (desktop, tablet, smartphone).

More design options for tables

You now have a range of new formatting options available for the table via the appearance on the element. These include:

Background color
Table cell spacing
Border color (horizontal, vertical, outer)
Drop shadow
Rounded Corners

Bulk adjustments in the learning module: All row backgrounds span the full width

You can now set for your entire learning module whether the existing rows backgrounds should be span the full width or not. This is useful, for example, if you want to work with backgrounds content (colours, images or videos) that you want have to display across the full width. But the reverse is also possible.

Adjusted height for flipcards

If you have already worked with the flipcards, you have probably already had this “cosmetic” problem: if there are several flipcards in a row, the flipcards may be different sizes due to the different amount of content. This looked unattractive as the heights were different. In the flipcard style settings, there is a new setting ‘Adjust height to row’. If it is activated for all flipcards in a row, it ensures a uniform height.

Link editor: Mail link available

If you previously wanted to create a mail link, this was only possible via the external link. And here you had to know the syntax (mailto…). Now we have simplified this by creating a new link type explicitly for emails.

The following input fields are available:

Recipient(s) (E-mail address, supports multiple recipients, separate with comma)
Mail Subject
Mail Body
