Design Section Guide π¨
Updated
by Sofia Teran
π₯³ Welcome to the new Design section, where you can customize your Landbot to make it unique π€©
To access this section, all you need to do is click the Design button in the top menu of your builder
π¨ As you can see in the Design framework we implemented two subsections: Templates and Customize
π Let's start:

Design Templates (pick a predefined design)
In this section you can select the template you like the most and use it in your bot:

General
Here are two sections:

Font
Font Family & Font Size
Here you can edit the Font (style) and Size of the text that you add to the bot.

Background
This section will allow you to change the colors of the background:

Solid
You can choose a solid color for the background through our color palette:

Gradient
Here you can change the gradient start color and the gradient end color for the linear gradient.
π Keep in that you have these colors set by default:

But you can choose 2 colors from our color palette:

Image
Here you have Background image, Background image mobile, and Background image color mask

- Background image:
- Background image mobile
If you decide to edit this section you will only be able to see this in the builder:


But once you run a test of your bot into your mobile device you will be able to see the changes that you made

- Background image color mask

Video
You have two types of videos:
- Default

- Custom: To use your custom video you must create an mp4 and Webm version.

Hidden
If you select this, your background will be transparent. This is useful for embedded bots, to make sure that the background of your page shows behind.

Layout
Here we have two sections:
Header π©

You can enable/disable the option to show the header:


Logo text
Here you can change the name of the header:

Logo image
Here you can delete Landbot's logo and add your own image from your file, URL, or select a Giphy:

Tagline
Here you can change the text under the logo text:

Top bar background-color
Here you can change the header background color:

Show line separator
You can enable/disable the option to show the line separator, and once you make it you can also customize

Top bar text color
You can change this color, but you must keep in mind that if you set one color before through the show line separator:

Customize the Bubble Launcher icon

Here you can edit:
- Bubble color
- Icon

Chat Avatar & Elements π¬
Here you can choose the shape of bot's and user's messages, as well as customize:
- Bot messages background
- Bot messages text
- User messages background
- User message text
These are the default colors:

Buttons and forms π
Buttons
You can easily set the border radius for your buttons and customize the color of:
- Buttons border
- Buttons background
- Buttons text
These are the default colors:

But you can also customize those colors and the border-radius

Forms
Here you can customize the color of the text area background, border, and text.

Pick an avatar for your bot π€

ππ»You can find all the information about customizing this section by clicking on our Icons & Logo article π€
Custom code π»
You can customize CSS and JS:

ππ»To have more information about it, please click on our Advanced (Custom CSS & Custom JS) article π€
π Here are some tips about the Design section that will be really useful for you:
- Real-time changes.Β Every change you make using the left menu will be shown in real-time on the right side of the screen. So, if you're making some changes using, let's say, the Custom Style editor, and you notice no changes, something might be going wrong!
- Saving.Β The app will auto-save your changes every time you move from one section to another to make sure you don't lose any edits, so keep that in mind.
- Preview.Β The right side of the screen contains a fully interactive Landbot so you don't need to click preview to test the flow along with the design edits.
For WhatsApp
This Section is not compatible with WhatsApp bots.
For Facebook Messenger
This Section is not compatible with Messenger bots.
