    How do I update the colors in the .json layout?
    Also, I tried building it from scratch and changed the colors in the css, but nothing changes?

    Hi Maciej Ekstedt

    I absolutely love your posts on these different modules but I was wondering if you could help me out on some information on how to achieve this type blurb slider (i call it that I would not know what other people would call it). Please have a look at the example on this like and if you could let me know.https://www.bluefountainmedia.com/paid-media. I have searched the web but maybe I am searching with the wrong description.

      Hi Shane,

      I don’t think if Divi offers this functionality. You would need some custom coding or use 3rd party plugin to achieve blurbs or any other content in a slider form. There is Smart Slider 3 plugin which is integrated with Divi Visual Builder. Maybe worth of try?
