Fixed preview page transitions

Resolved a conflict with Udoros “Bricks Mega Menu Pro”.

Choose the viewport percentage at which the animation should fire

Top or fully visible — Decide whether to fire when the element’s top enters the viewport or when the element is fully visible

Decide which elements should animate only once on first view; you’re no longer forced to disable animations globally. The global “execute once” setting continues to work.

Optionally clear the visible state when scrolling back below the configured viewport threshold.

Choose the viewport percentage at which the animation should fire

Add dynamic, sequential delays to child elements without manually setting a delay per item

Decide whether to fire when the element’s top enters the viewport or when the element is fully visible

Register your own CSS entrance effects while leveraging all Fancy Animations entrance options (time, delay, loop, device rules)

Custom entrance effects now toggle `.fb-anim–custom-active` so you can attach additional styles and transitions

Optionally clear the visible state when scrolling back below the configured viewport threshold

Passive pointer listeners, ~16ms throttling, normalized deltas and robust cleanup when switching modes

Animations feel more fluid with Lenis-powered scrolling. Lenis is lightweight and, unlike GSAP’s scroll, plays nicely with `position: sticky` and is more accessibility-friendly.

One of the most requested features: you can now show an image instead of loading text during transitions, including a max-width setting for consistent sizing.

Decide which elements should animate only once on first view; you’re no longer forced to disable animations globally. The global “execute once” setting continues to work.

The border effect now works correctly alongside hover animations on the same element and no longer overlaps the element background or clashes with transforms.

Entrance and text animations now work inside your megamenu.

fa-next, fa-prev, fa-first and fa-last for greater control over custom animations.

Border animation now has a variable fa-border-radius for the radius that can be overwritten.

Entrance and text animations behave more reliably inside sliders

Scroll-triggered animations feel smoother with finer precision.

Animations only play on the current slide instead of all slides at once.

This update introduces radial gradient background animated with patterns and different options, you must activate it from the plugin options.

You can now also configure your entrance animations to only trigger when you scroll down.

You can now preview entrance, ScrollTrigger, text, and background gradient animations directly in the editor before applying them

New update system for more reliable and seamless updates

Now you can customize the distance of the some animations using variables. Just define the variable with your desired value in the element, and it will override the default animation distance. See the documentation.

Now it will be easier to add mouse animations, find the options in the styles tab. The class system still works for advanced users.

New page transition that takes into account the click coordinates for the animation.

Now the page transitions detects if the url with # is the current url or a different page of the website.
