How to Use Shape Elements in Bubble.io Step 1: Adding a Shape Element

Open your Bubble.io application editor.
In the Design tab, look at the left-hand panel for the "Visual Elements" section.
Click on "Shape" and drag and drop it onto your page where you want the shape to appear.

Step 2: Configuring Shape Properties

Once you've added the shape, click on it to open its property editor on the right-hand side.
Here, you can select the type of shape you need: Rectangle, Round, or Ellipse.
Specify the width and height of the shape using the size fields.

Step 3: Customizing Shape Appearance

Scroll down in the property editor to find the "Background style" options.
You can choose between a flat color, gradient, or image fill. Select the option that best suits your design needs.
Set the border style, including color, width, and corner rounding.

Step 4: Adding Conditional Formatting

If you want your shape to change appearance based on certain conditions, click the "Conditional" tab in the property editor.
Add a new condition by clicking "Add a new condition" and setting the required criteria.
Modify the shape's properties that should change when the condition is met, such as background color or border width.

Step 5: Adding Actions and Workflows

To make your shape interactive, you can add workflows. Click on the shape and select the "Start/Edit Workflow" button at the top-right corner of the editor.
Define the actions that should occur when users interact with the shape, such as navigating to another page or displaying a popup.
Set up additional workflow criteria if needed to further customize the user's interaction with the shape.

Step 6: Using Shapes for Responsive Design

To ensure your shapes look good on different screen sizes, click the "Responsive" tab in the editor.
Adjust the shape's settings to make it responsive, like setting fixed margins or aligning it relative to other page elements.
Preview your application in various screen sizes to ensure your shapes adapt well.

Step 7: Testing and Fine-tuning

After designing your shapes, preview your application by clicking the "Preview" button at the top-right corner of the editor.
Interact with your shapes to test their behavior, appearance, and responsiveness.
Return to the editor to make any necessary adjustments based on your testing.
