The mood of the season
You select a Halloween, Christmas or Easter background, and an animation that plays softly behind your widgets.
Students feel the time of year as they walk in, without you saying a word.

Background
A colour or a photo for every screen, and animations that play softly behind your widgets.

Your way
- ColourThe screen's background colour: a soft blue for reading, a plain colour to keep the screen calm.
- ImageA royalty-free photo from the platform or a picture from your library.
- AnimationsAs many as you like, added and removed one by one: fireflies, snow, bats…
- SourceFor each animation, an item from your library (an animated emoji, for example) or a platform effect.
- DensityFew, some or many items of the selected animation on screen.
- SpeedSlow, normal or fast movement of the animations.
Good to know
- Animations play behind the widgets, across the whole screen, and never hide one.
- The board's button turns them all off; when the device asks to reduce motion, nothing moves.
- Removing the image gives the screen back its default background.
- For an animation that goes over the widgets, use Animation and tick “Across the screen”.
