## Blocks settings

### Video

This is only supported in the `Fullwidth` block type. There are options to choose the video from an external resource like YouTube or Vimeo, and an option to use a Shopify hosted video. More information about the video files in Shopify can be found here: <https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/products/product-media/product-media-types#videos>.

The video will be autoplaying muted by default. There is a setting to turn the autoplay off on mobile in order to lower the mobile data usage.

**Note:** please be aware that adding one or more autoplaying videos might impact your page speed results.

### Images

#### Image fields

For each of the elements there are separate options for picking a desktop and mobile image. If only desktop image is picked - this image will be also shown on mobile.

For mobile we suggest using more portrait oriented images.

#### Overlay

In case you have white text over white background and the content is not very readable - you can easily add an overlay by adjusting its opacity and picking the overlay color.

### Text Content

Along with the fields for Heading, Subheading and Paragraph, there are also settings for: content alignment and additional background.

The subheading, heading and paragraph items are marked in the screenshot below:

<figure><img src="https://4207195275-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2Fp5czJlcYNU7vFLQkGMwL%2Fuploads%2FK8i4yofJ9UqJwmrB1lJl%2Fimage.png?alt=media&#x26;token=3c46bd0a-4dc5-4a32-a472-edd129cc2b4f" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

With the alignment settings you can move the content wherever you want like: top left, top right, bottom right, center, etc.

Here is an example with horizontally and vertically centered content:

#### Heading accent elements

In case you want to use highlight a text element in the headings you can use the Bold and Italic properties: ![](https://4207195275-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2Fp5czJlcYNU7vFLQkGMwL%2Fuploads%2FJhYLgpTAqqSas4peipl9%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=e02d0a1e-fc89-484a-93ac-f0bfd0f08c64). You can mark a word or a phrase and click one of these.

The BOLD property will make the text to be shown in a different color which you can set through: `Theme settings > The color style you used for the section > Typography > Headings accent color`.

Here is an example result:
