# Image banner

The **ThemeWare® "Image banner"** is a banner element for your Shopping Experience. You can use it perfectly as a separator in boxed and full-width layouts.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note**: The element is explicitly intended for use in its own CMS block. It is not designed for use in other CMS blocks and therefore cannot be exchanged or placed in other blocks.

## Configuration

The configuration of the "Image banner" is quite self-explanatory. The **image** and the "**Minimum height**" are mandatory fields. That's all you really need to configure.

### General

In the tab "General" you configure the content of the element.

> **Image**
>
> In the section "Image" you define the background image of the banner. The "Minimum height" is a mandatory field (default: `340px`).
>
> Beta: You can map the category image in layouts of the type "Listing page".
>
> **Link**
>
> In the section "Link" you define the target of the banner when it is clicked.

### Layout

In the "Layout" tab, you can configure the scrolling behaviour of the image (1), a **parallax effect** and a **coloured overlay** (1).

> **General**
>
> In the section "General" you can configure the general **background colour** (1) and the **border radius**.
>
> **Image**
>
> In the section "Image" you can configure the **attachment** of the image and specify whether a JavaScript managed **parallax effect** should be applied.
>
> **Coloured overlay**
>
> In the section "Coloured overlay" a **coloured overlay** (1) can be activated and configured.

### Advanced

You can select each HTML element of our banners using the appropriate CSS classes. If you want to use your own CSS classes, you can insert them in the "Advanced" tab.

***

## Scroll effects

By being able to fix the image (= background image) you can achieve a simple parallax effect, which creates a certain sense of depth when scrolling the page

### Parallax effect

In addition, you can activate a JavaScript managed parallax effect. This effect is available when the background image is fixed.

If a CMS element with an activated parallax effect is used in a Shopping Experience, an additional JavaScript plugin is loaded which manages the effect.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note**: As this effect requires the image to fill the entire page, we recommend using large, high-quality images as the page background.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Important**: Parallax effects are not displayed in mobile viewports for performance reasons.
{% endhint %}

## Data mapping (coming soon)

On category and product pages, the following field can be dynamically mapped from the current category or product:

* **Image** - e.g. category image or product image
