Layouts and styles

Ten layout families cover the usual ways reviews appear on a site, from full testimonial walls to a one-line badge. Every layout works with every style preset, light or dark.

The layouts

Layout What it is Use it for
Slider Horizontally scrolling cards, arrows + dots, optional autoplay Homepages; the default
Grid Equal-height cards in columns Testimonial sections
Masonry Waterfall columns, natural card heights Mixed-length review text
List One column, full text Dedicated reviews page
Badge Compact aggregate: score, stars, count Footers, headers, near CTAs
Button A pill with stars linking to your review page "Review us" prompts
Banner Full-width strip: score, message, CTA Between page sections
Floating bubble Fixed-corner rating; opens a review panel Site-wide trust without page edits
Popup Rotating single-review toasts in a corner Social proof on landing pages
Ticker wall Slowly auto-scrolling band of cards Long pages, footers

Slider, floating and popup respect the autoplay toggle and interval; all animation honours prefers-reduced-motion.

Style presets

Light, Light border, Drop shadow, Minimal, Soft, Contrast, Dark, Minimal dark. Presets only change surfaces (card background, borders, shadows); layout and content are unaffected, so switching styles is safe at any time. Dark and Minimal dark are for dark sites; Contrast puts dark cards on a light page.

Colours and type

Widgets inherit your theme's font; they are your HTML, not an embed, so they look native by default. Two colours are yours per widget: the accent (CTAs, links) and the star colour (default amber #f5a623). Everything else derives from the preset.

For deeper control, all styling hangs off rt--prefixed classes and CSS custom properties (--rt-accent, --rt-star, --rt-columns) you can override in your stylesheet, and templates themselves are theme-overridable.

Columns and responsiveness

Grid, masonry and slider use the column setting (1–6) on wide screens, collapse to two columns under 900px and one under 560px.
