How to set up and style the Particles Background extension in Elementor.
Particles Background draws moving particles behind the content of a container, section or column. Pick one of five styles and set the color, number, size, speed and opacity. The drawing is done by a small script inside the plugin, with no outside library, and it pauses when the container is off screen.
Part of: Bright Addons Pro.
These options are in the Advanced tab of the element.
| Option | What it does |
|---|---|
| Particles | Switches the particles on for this container. |
| Style | Connected dots, Floating dots, Snow, Rising bubbles or Twinkling stars. |
| Color | The color of the particles and of the lines between connected dots. |
| How Many | The number of particles, from 5 to 200. The default is 60 and fewer are drawn on small screens. |
| Size | The base size of a particle, from 1 to 12. Each particle varies a little around it. |
| Speed | How fast the particles move, from 0.1 to 5. |
| Opacity | How see-through the particles are, from 0.05 to 1. |
| Near the Pointer | Nothing happens, Particles move away or Particles come closer. |
| Show On | The devices on which the particles are drawn: Desktop, Tablet and Phone. |

No. The drawing uses a small script that ships with Bright Addons Pro, and it is loaded only on pages where a container uses particles.
Yes. The particles are drawn behind the content and ignore the pointer for clicks.
The number is scaled to the size of the container so the density stays similar. At least four particles are always drawn.
No. Put the widget in a container and switch the particles on for that container.
