    Hello,

    lets say you are visitor of an website. The website is showing a product categories widget.
    The widget is showing 30 categories. Per view you can see 3 categories.
    Problem:
    In xstore widget you need to click a lot of times to see the last category. Because per click it steps only one category forward. Its a little bit like to drive a car that have fixed wheels while you try to drive. Its a little bit something like slowing down a good UX if someone wanna check the categories in the carousel and they need to click to many times in a slow carousel…

    How other carousel widgets from other themes works and how loop grid builder works:
    They have one very usefull and important widget, which is very important for carousel with some more slides:
    Number of items: …
    Number of items per view: …
    Number of items to scroll: …

    Check also attached screenshot.
    Check also our carousel in the linked page in section “Shoppen nach Kategorien”.

    Any chance to improve this carousel soon please?
    Its nearly a must have option that users need without need to create a request for it. If you are an web designer for projects with bigger guidelines its an absolute must have.

    Thank you.

    All the best!
    Tommy.

    Hello @Tommy,

    We noticed that your website currently utilizes the “Product Categories” widget. However, we would like to suggest trying the “Spotlight categories” widget, which has been built from scratch and offers a wider range of configuration options, including the specific feature you requested: https://prnt.sc/WMY8kDhNb59f.

    We kindly ask you to test the “Spotlight” widget and share your feedback with us. If it meets your requirements, you may consider using it on your website as a replacement for the previously used widget.

    Please let us know your thoughts.

    Best regards,

    Hello Jack,

    thank you. Yes, we already checked this today and see they have much more options. We build it now via elementor pro loop grid builder to have some other options in controle.

    Thank you for your fast feedback.
