Horizontal timeline #

A horizontal timeline is a row you can swipe. Set the number of Columns per device and Space Between Events, and choose Navigation (Show, Hide or Hide on Mobile), Touch Swipe, Mouse Draggable and Mouse Wheel.

Colours #

Under Timeline Colors, set the Date Badge Color (the month and year label), Timeline Line Thickness, Track Color (the unfilled line; empty keeps the light grey), Fill Color, Event Dot Color and, for a horizontal timeline, the navigation background.

With Fill on Scroll on (the default), the line fills in Fill Color as visitors scroll down a vertical timeline or move along a horizontal one; the rest shows Track Color. Pick a fill colour that stands out from the track, for example your brand colour. Turn Fill on Scroll off for a solid line in Track Color.
