An Overview Of The Monarch Design Settings

Monarch is packed full of design options so that you can fully customize your sharing and follow buttons into your website’s design. Combining button shape options, icon placement, icon spacing, button hover effects, and unlimited color options, the design possibilities are countless.

Hover Styles

Sidebar Hover Styles

Choose from 5 hover effects for you floating sidebar. These hover effects become even more diverse as you mix them with different button shapes and button spacing as described below.

Inline Button Hover Styles

Choose from 4 hover effects for you inline sharing and following buttons. Again, these hover styles become more unique when combined with other design settings.

Icon Shapes

Monarch comes with three different button shapes. You can choose for you buttons to have squared corners, rounded corners, or be circles. If you choose circle shapes, your network labels and counts will appear outside of the button in contrast to the rectangular shapes which include network icons, labels, and counts all within the button.

Icon Orientation

Another great design option is your icon orientation. This doubles the design possibilities and can really effect the outcome of your custom designs. If you choose ‘Left’ Orientation, your button content will appear to the right of the network icons. If you choose a ‘Centered’ orientation, your button content will appear below your network icons.

Icon Spacing

This setting lets you add a spacing between your buttons or remove it entirely for a two very different looks.

Button Content

Display Follow/Share Counts

This setting lets you display either the share or follow count alongside the network icons. This is a great way to show off how popular a page or social profile is.

Minimum Count Display

Sometimes content is new and profiles are young. This setting lets you set a minimum display count so that a count will not display if it is under your defined threshold.

Display Network Labels

This setting lets you display a button label. By default, this is the network name, but it can be customized to say things like ‘Pin This’, ‘Tweet This’, or ‘follow Us’.

Column Display

Monarch comes with three different button shapes. You can choose for you buttons to have squared corners, rounded corners, or be circles. If you choose circle shapes, your network labels and counts will appear outside of the button in contrast to the rectangular shapes which include network icons, labels, and counts all within the button.
