Module Configuration

1. Animation Mode

Select one of the three available animation modes:

• Magic Auto Flight
• Magic Cursor Trail
• Golden Luxury

Choose the mode that best suits your website.

2. Colors and Design

Customize the golden particle appearance directly in the Joomla administrator interface.

Available options include:

• Color preset
• Custom gold color
• Particle size
• Glow intensity
• Sparkle effects

Recommended Luxury Gold Settings

| Setting | Recommended Value |
|---|---|
| Color Preset | Luxury Gold |
| Gold Color | #FFD36D |
| Particle Size | 2.4 px |
| Glow Intensity | 75% |
| Sparkling Stars | Enabled |

These settings create a balanced golden animation suitable for professional websites.

3. Particle Effects

Adjust the density and lifespan of the animated particles.

Available settings include:

• Particles generated per second
• Particle fade-out duration
• Sparkle intensity
• Particle size
• Mobile particle density

Recommended Settings

| Setting | Recommended Value |
|---|---|
| Particles per Second | 55 |

For websites with many existing animations, reduce the particle density to maintain smooth performance.

4. Cursor Interaction

In Magic Cursor Trail and Golden Luxury modes, golden particles respond to mouse movements.

This creates a magical trail that follows the visitor's cursor across the website.

The effect is particularly suitable for desktop visitors.

5. Mobile Optimization

The module includes settings for reducing particle density on smartphones and tablets.

This helps maintain smoother animation performance on devices with limited processing power.

The visual effects automatically adapt to different screen sizes.

6. Accessibility and Reduced Motion

PC-DIDI Magic Gold Trail respects the operating system's reduced-motion preference.

If a visitor has enabled reduced motion, the animation will not start.

The effects are decorative and do not interfere with the website's main content or navigation.

Troubleshooting

The Animation Is Not Visible

Check the following:

1. Make sure the module is published.
2. Verify that your Joomla template renders the selected module position.
3. Check the module's menu assignment.
4. Confirm that the selected animation mode is enabled.
5. Clear the Joomla and browser caches.
6. If you use JCH Optimize or another optimization extension, clear its cache.
7. Check whether reduced motion is enabled on your device.

The Animation Appears Too Intense

Reduce the particle density or glow intensity in the module settings.

The Animation Is Not Smooth

Try reducing the number of particles generated per second and shortening the particle fade-out duration.

Cursor Effects Do Not Appear on Smartphones

Mouse-based effects are designed for devices with a mouse or trackpad. For mobile websites, the automatic animation mode is the recommended option.
