How Do I Enable Shimmering Effect on My Cross Slider Widget in Feedspace?

Last updated on September 29, 2026

Overview

The Cross Slider widget in Feedspace slides your reviews across the page, left to right or right to left, with an optional crossbar. When its star ratings are shown, the Show Shimmering Effect toggle adds a soft light that sweeps across each star on hover.

Use it when the Cross Slider sits in a busy section of your homepage and you want visitors who pause on a review to notice its rating. A light passing over a row of five stars draws the eye to the score without changing the card layout.

Steps to switch on the shimmer

Step 1: Find your Cross Slider

Click Widgets in the left sidebar, then click the Edit (pencil) icon on your Cross Slider widget card.

Step 2: Open the Design settings

At the top of the editor, click the Design tab. Scroll the settings panel to the Widget Content Customization section.

Step 3: Switch on Show Shimmering Effect

The Show Shimmering Effect toggle is nested under Show Review Ratings and appears only while that toggle is on. With ratings on, switch Show Shimmering Effect on. Switch it off whenever you want still stars again.

Common questions

Is the shimmer already on for my existing Cross Slider?

Only if the widget is new. Cross Sliders created after the setting was added start with Show Shimmering Effect on. Older Cross Sliders have it off until you switch it on and save.
