In the following video lessons, we will look at other useful objects that will help you during site creation.

Content slider object. This is a new element in the main objects of the page. It allows you to create slides containing image, text and button. Content slider object supports responsive design.

Instead of images, you can use solid color fills. Text can be specified for the title, content, and slide button.

A button can be a link to any action. In the Content slider style settings, you can choose one of four layouts, set the slider height, transition effects between slides, text settings (fonts, colors, alignment, etc.), enable auto playback and change slide control style (or even remove them).

Button Object (free). This is not entirely new object. Buttons have been in the program for a long time. There are various paid button objects. The innovation is that this object is free, but with a limited set of options compared to paid objects. There are not many settings, but it is enough to create a button.

The new version of the program has several optimization tools. I recommend including these options and setting the maximum compression ratio. But if the image quality does not suit you, then the compression ratio can be made lower.

Helpe Toolbar. If program window width is more than approximately 1300 pixels, a special panel with thematic help information will appear on the right side. The panel can be disabled by clicking on the question mark icon in the upper toolbar and selecting Show tips. There also new links on training materials.

New templates. For the Pro version, 10 new templates were added, plus 5 old templates for Evo and Pro were updated. Each of them uses a new Content Slider object.

Object management. The object management window has been updated to simplify search for necessary objects. New category "Used in the project" has also been added. It shows the objects that are used in the project.

The pictograms of the Gallery object have been updated.

In the template search window, the category New items has been added. There were also other smaller updates. But basically - that's it.

In video tutorial you see WebSite X5 2019.3.9 Pro (64 bit).
