New Component - Icon Matrix

While maintaining the functionality of Horizontal Picture Series but adding the convenience of Font Awesome icon integration, Icon Matrix will be a great way to add quick links anywhere on your site. It will support custom icons as well as offer a lightbox feature, allowing you to enter information into a full text editor that pops up when someone clicks the icon. You will not be limited to a certain number of icons, either! You set how many you want to display in each row and they will wrap to a new row as needed.

With ten Display Styles to choose from, plus settings for icon size, icon style, and color scheme, the possibilities are endless!

Below are some examples representing the kind of looks you will be able to achieve with Icon Matrix. As you can see, the use cases go way beyond quick links.

By the way, these were all done with the “Simple” display style. There are NINE others!

Icon Matrix will be released Friday, January 31.

A white button with rounded corners that says NEW!! next to the text Icon Matrix and four icons: a heart, a music note, a camera, and a lightning bolt.
