Overview
In this guide, you will learn everything you need to know about the carousel design settings and how they work. You can also choose to highlight the left, center, or right slide in the carousel and design the default and highlighted slides differently to make one stand out from the others. You can adjust all the design settings like spacing, borders, box shadows, background color, opacity, blur, and size for all the slides. The design settings can all be found with the other carousel settings in Row settings>Column settings>Carousel tab in the Design Settings toggle.

Design Setting Tabs
The design settings are divided into tabs to make it easier to use.
- Common
- Default
- Highlighted
Common
The Common tab has any shared design settings that affect all the slides in the carousel. This includes the option to highlight a slide, make the slides equal height, and adjust the spacing, borders, and box shadows.Â
Highlighted Slide
This feature allows you to place an emphasis on the left, center, or right slide in the carousel. This can be done by customizing the highlighted and default slide with various design settings such as spacing, colors, background color, opacity, blur, size, borders, and box shadows.
To highlight a slide, first select Left, Center, or Right (the default is None). This will activate the Default and Highlighted tabs for adjusting the design settings.
Equalize Slide Height
This feature allows you to make all the slides in your carousel appear at the same height, even if the content inside each slide is different. To achieve this effect, you will need to set some design settings like border, background color in the carousel. Remember, this is about making the slides in the carousel equal height, not about making the actual module height the same. So even if the modules are different heights, the design settings on the carousel make it appear to be the same.
Default
The Default tab has settings that will affect all the slides by default, or if the highlighted slide setting is used, it will affect the slides that are not highlighted. This includes settings for spacing, background color, opacity, blur, size, borders, and box shadows. These will affect all slides that are not highlighted. If you are not using any highlighted slide, this Default tab will affect all slides.

The default value of the size is set to 0.9 and has a range of 0 to 1 with .1 increments.
