Arrow

The Arrow Component allows you to easily add arrows to your project. The ability to change the rotation and curve of the arrow, allows you to find the prefect fit.


Setting up an Arrow

  • The Arrow Component comes with a default preset look. You can change this by adjusting any of the properties, including the image.
  • Make sure the tint is different from your background in order to see it. The Arrow Component’s default color is light grey so if your page background color is also light grey it may not look visible to start with.
  • The image below shows an arrow with the curve property set to -1.
  • The image below shows an arrow with the rotate property set to 90.

Arrow TintThe color to apply on top of the arrow image. The default is light grey (#eaeaea).The tint works for white images, or white images with a black outline.
