This is a simple way to add polish and improve the visual flow of your site. *** ### Page Transitions #### Page Transition Animation Choose how your page appears when it loads: * **None** — No animation * **Fade In** — Smooth fade effect as the page loads #### Transition Duration * Adjust the time (in seconds) the animation lasts * Use the slider or input box (e.g. `1s`, `2s`) to fine-tune the speed > ✨ A 1-second fade is a balanced choice that feels smooth but not slow. *** ### When to Use It Use the Fade In animation if: * You want to reduce harsh transitions between pages * Your site includes large background images or video * You're aiming for a refined or cinematic aesthetic Avoid using if: * You want the fastest load times with no effects * Your store relies on rapid navigation between product pages *** ### **Need Help?** * 💬 **Join our community on Discord:** * 📧 **Email us at:** * 💻 **Live chat with us:** Available Monday–Friday, 10AM–6PM EST, directly on our website --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.openspaces.design/plain-jane-interactive/theme-settings/animations.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
