FAQ
Smooth Animation
How to increase performances?
Choose the best combination between filters, filling method and animation.
You should try the animation in more than one browser, the stack deliver "cross platform web fonts" and the result is quite identical in all browsers.
The features requiring more resources are:
- CSS filters over the BG like Blur (or you can use 2 images)
- Background with animated GIF over morphing shapes in animation.
- Background with video or similar.
- Further css filters applied to the stack with nested stack.
Compatibility
Can I use this Stack within other stacks?
Yes, you need to check that the animations are loaded on the main page; Stacks with lightbox or modal windows are not compatible.
