Elements · Photo ring
A centered intro and, under it, a band of photos turning slowly around you, curved like the inside of a ring. A button pauses it.
Full-page views: desktop, phone and dark mode
At 1440px wide.
At 390px wide.
With your site in dark mode.
See it live: Elements · Photo ring on fancybricks.co — the live preview, and the button that copies it.
Preview on the front end. Scripts don't run inside the builder, so here you only see the layout: the ring doesn't turn here and the pause button does nothing (the builder doesn't run animations and code the same way). Save and open the page to see the full result.

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.
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.
- Paste the template in Bricks first — see Copy and paste.
- 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.
- Select Button (FBK Button) › Properties: Text, Link, Tone, Shadow on hover · Icon group: Icon, Icon position · Style group: Style, Size, Width, Hover effect.
- 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.
/* «Intro + ring + pause» · class .fbk-ring */
.fbk-ring {
--fbk-t-radius: min(31vw, 33em);
--fbk-t-time: 30s;
--fbk-t-ratio: 5 / 6;
/* each photo: a share of the ring's length, less than its full share so
there is a gap */
--fbk-t-w: calc(var(--fbk-t-radius) * 6.2832 / var(--fbk-t-n) * 0.757);
/* the camera just inside the ring: the photos on the far side make a curved
band across the page */
--fbk-t-tilt: 0deg;
--fbk-t-perspective: calc(var(--fbk-t-radius) * 0.952);
/* The band's height, with less room above and below */
--fbk-t-scene-h: calc(var(--fbk-t-w) * 1.2);
--fbk-t-n: 10;
--fbk-t-i: 0;
--fbk-t-room-top: calc(var(--fbk-t-w) * 0.7);
--fbk-t-room-bottom: calc(var(--fbk-t-w) * 1.1);
/* the tilted ring draws lower than its box: room under it lifts it back to
the middle */
--fbk-t-scene-pad: 0px;
}
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.
Requirements
- Code execution. Needs "Execute code" enabled for the role in Bricks → Settings → Custom code, or the JS block shows as plain text instead of running.
What each requirement is, and how to set it up once for the whole site: Requirements.
Finish by hand
- Replace the photos and give each its alt text. Four to twelve photos: the ring places them by itself.
- Ring size:
--fbk-t-radius; a full turn:--fbk-t-time; lean:--fbk-t-tilt(all on the main block, Intro + ring + pause). - Each piece has its own class: the spin and its paused state are in
.fbk-ring__spin(Style > CSS: [data-paused] > %root%, set by the button); each photo's place on the ring is in.fbk-ring__item(Style > CSS: %root%:nth-child(n)). - The pause button needs "Execute code" enabled for the role; without it the ring keeps turning.
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-ring,.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--light, fbk-section--soft, fbk-section--dark.
How the library follows your site's color scheme: Dark mode and preview.
