Launcher Configuration
Launcher Configuration: Tailor Your Widget Experience
Your toolkit for setting up the primary widget launcher, including that nifty floating button on your page. Let's explore how you can customise it to perfection!
General Settings
In the General section, you have the freedom to make the launcher truly yours. Want to switch up the icon? Go for it! Choose an icon that resonates with your brand or personal style. Need the text to stand out more? Adjust the font size until it's just right. You can also tweak the launcher and icon sizes to make them more prominent or subtle, depending on your preference.
Don't forget about the border radius and elevation settings. These let you refine the launcher's look, giving it rounded edges or a shadow effect to make it pop. It's all about creating a launcher that feels both professional and approachable.
Positioning the Launcher
Next up is the Position section. Here, you decide where the launcher appears on your page. Whether you want it snug in the bottom right corner or floating on the left, it's just a couple of clicks away. By adjusting the X and Y offsets, you can nudge the launcher exactly where you want it. It's like arranging furniture in your living room—find the perfect spot that feels just right!
Advanced Features
Feeling adventurous? The Advanced section unlocks additional features to enhance the launcher’s behavior.
-
Hide Launcher: Want a cleaner look or planning to use a custom launcher? You can fully conceal the launch button from the page. It's particularly handy if you have a unique launcher design up your sleeve.
-
Persistent Launcher: Keep the launcher visible even when the widget is open. Enabling this means your visitors can access the launcher at any time, making your site more interactive and user-friendly.
-
Delay Script Loading: This feature allows you to postpone loading the widget's primary script. Keep in mind, though, this might affect event tracking and analytics, as these only kick in once the main script is fully loaded. It's a trade-off between immediate functionality and optimisation.
-
Delay Launcher: Similar name, different function! Delay Launcher lets you set a timer for when the launcher appears to your visitors. While it doesn't delay the script from loading, it does give your users a moment to settle in before the launcher pops up. It's all about timing!
Engage Your Visitors
-
Show Online Notifications: Transform your launcher into an online counter notification. It displays the number of visitors currently on your website—a subtle yet effective way to showcase your site's activity. Plus, you can set a specific timeframe for this notification to appear, ensuring it's informative without being intrusive.
-
Show Unread Messages: Keep the conversation going, even if the widget is minimized. When activated, visitors will see incoming messages, so they won't miss out on any important updates or promotions you have to share.
By customising these settings, you're not just tweaking a launcher—you're enhancing the overall experience for your visitors. It's all about making your site more engaging, innovative, and user-friendly. So dive in, experiment with the features, and watch how these small changes can make a big difference!
Remember, the goal is to create a seamless and enjoyable experience for everyone, whether they're tech-savvy or just browsing. Happy customising!
