Elements · Phone carousel

A centered carousel of app screenshots, three per view. The center one sits inside a phone frame and, after a moment, scrolls slowly to the bottom of the screen.

Full-page views: desktop, phone and dark mode

At 1440px wide.

At 390px wide.

With your site in dark mode.

Structure

This is what the Bricks Structure panel shows after you paste the template. Component instances say which component they are.

The template also pastes a dashed note above the section, with the short version of this page. It only shows inside the builder, never on the published page — see Builder notes.

How to adjust

Every step is the same move: pick the element in the Structure panel, change its Properties.

Where are those panels?

How to adjust a template shows every one of them in a screenshot of the real builder: the Structure and Properties panels, the classes on an element, a component's style families and the field where a CSS variable goes.

The classes this element carries, in the Bricks panel.

This template's own component, with its Style group open.

1. Paste the template in Bricks first — see Copy and paste.
2. Select Intro (FBK Intro) › Properties: Eyebrow, Hide eyebrow, Title, Title level, Lead, Hide lead · Style group: Eyebrow style, Highlight, Title size, Accent line · Layout group: Alignment, Layout, Background, Spacing · Motion group: Reveal in slider.
3. Select Carousel › Content › Options (loop or fade, autoplay, items per page, gap), Arrows and Pagination; one slide = one child, duplicate it to add more.
4. Spacing, sizes, color and timing with no property of their own: the CSS variables below.

CSS variables

These are the only values in the template meant to be changed by hand. Copy the block, paste it, edit the numbers.

The Custom CSS field of this template's own element, with one of its variables as a real example.

/* «Carousel + phone» · class .fbk-phoneslide */
.fbk-phoneslide {
  /* How long the center screenshot takes to scroll to the bottom, and the wait
     before it starts */
  --fbk-t-scroll-time: 18s;
  --fbk-t-scroll-wait: 1.2s;
  /* Screen shape and the phone frame around the center screen */
  --fbk-t-ratio: 9 / 18;
  --fbk-t-frame: var(--base-ultra-dark);
  --fbk-t-bezel: 0.6em;
  /* Screens beside the center one */
  --fbk-t-side-scale: 0.88;
  --fbk-t-side-opacity: 0.55;
  /* Layout (changes below 767 px) */
  --fbk-t-screen-w: calc((80% - 2 * var(--fbk-gap-cards)) / 3);
}

Paste the block in the element's Style → CSS field (the selector is already in it), or set the same variables on the class itself to change every copy at once. The values are your framework's variables, so they follow your site: Choosing a framework.

Finish by hand

• Replace the screenshots with full-height captures of your app screens (portrait; taller ones scroll longer) and give each its alt text. Screen shape: --fbk-t-ratio; scroll time: --fbk-t-scroll-time.
• Add or remove screens by duplicating a slide; keep at least five for a smooth loop with three per view.
• Side screens: --fbk-t-side-scale and --fbk-t-side-opacity on the block .fbk-phoneslide. The center screen is in the Custom CSS of .fbk-phoneslide__screen (Style > CSS): .splide__slide.is-active %root%; its scroll-through is the same selector in .fbk-phoneslide__shot. The notch and home indicator are %root%::before and %root%::after in .fbk-phoneslide__phone.

On phones

The template is designed desktop first, the Bricks default, and only changes at the two widths the library uses:

• 991px and below — .fbk-intro.
• 767px and below — .fbk-phoneslide, .fbk-section.

Those changes live in Bricks' own breakpoint fields, so you edit them where you always do: pick the breakpoint in the toolbar and the same fields follow.

Careful with the classes shared by the whole library (fbk-section, fbk-intro, the component classes): a change there shows up in every template that uses them.

If your site's breakpoints are set up mobile first, copy the mobile-first variant of the template instead — see Copy and paste.

Accessibility

In this template, keyboard focus is visible on every interactive piece; movement is cut back when the visitor's system asks for less motion; the state screen readers need is already set (aria-hidden, aria-label).

What is checked on every template, and what depends on your own palette: Accessibility.

Dark mode

With your site in dark mode this section turns dark too — the class fbk-section--auto-dark on the section does it. Remove the class to keep it light.

Its background is a modifier on the section, so you can swap it for any of the ones the template is checked with: fbk-section--soft, fbk-section--light, fbk-section--dark.
