Enhance Gutenberg blocks with practical features such as icons, color, shadow, transform, transition, responsive typography, responsive text alignment, hover style, etc.
Unlike other similar plugins, this plugin is fast, lightweight and clean. It only loads what you need. You can choose which features to apply to specific blocks through the settings page.

It works with all themes, however, the with-icon feature uses the CSS pseudo ::before to add icons with the mask-image CSS property. It may conflict with other plugins or themes that use the same technique.

Key Features

  • Add an icon to button, heading, or list blocks from a library with more than 3000 icons, or upload your custom SVG image.
  • Add box-shadow
  • Add text-shadow
  • Add 2D transform (translate, rotate, skew, scale)
  • Add hover state style for shadow, transform, text-color, background-color
  • Add responsive text alignment. It’s useful for ‘container’ blocks such as ‘core/group’, ‘core/columns’, ‘core/column’ and/or you want for example text-align center on mobile but text-align left on the desktop
  • Add transition
  • Add responsive font size, font weight, line height, and letter spacing based on media queries

☐ More features will be added soon.
