Shown above are the entire listing of Reveal and Scroll Animations. The best way to determine how each works is to apply these and then preview the page to see the effects in action. Use Apply but don’t click OK to keep the dialog open. Stick to Top In addition to the ability to stick a graphic or navigation bar to your page, a new setting, Stick to Top lets you add an object or navigation bar to your page, but have it offset from the top of the page. Then when your visitor scrolls down the page, the objects or navigation bar when it reaches the top of the page, sticks there.

The big news in Designer Pro X 365’s Website Design features is the addition of 40 new Reveal/Scroll animations, including… PARALLAX SCROLLING! In addition there are now two categories of reveal animation, Reveal and Scroll. Reveal animations are triggered when an object reveals itself in the browser such as the text Website Design above. Reveal Animations can also be enabled by a “Trigger” object. The home page of this review uses both Trigger objects and Anchors to move to the next section and to start the animations. The new Scroll Animations happen automatically as the visitor scrolls down the page and are determined by the speed at which the viewer scrolls up or down the page. Parallax scrolling lets objects move at different speeds.
