    I have the Pro version however the following points are made after only using the product for a few hours.

    #COLOR PICKER
    Saving specific color swatches please. A competitor, KingComposer is the only one I know that did this right – I save swatches and delete them right from the color picker.

    #FLIP-BOX module
    Text shadows please. Otherwise, awesome!

    #POSTS module
    Really dropped the ball on this one, and shortcomings will likely prevent me from using Elementor on a live site, ultimately requesting a refund. I was expecting something exotic, considering Posts are typically the meat of most Websites. I chose a layout with just 3 post side-by-side, one row.

    – Aside from custom CSS, there does not appear to be any way to add margin-bottom or padding-bottom to the Read More link. As such, Pagination sits right under these.

    – Pagination can’t be this broken; when clicking Previous, Next or any number in between, the page snaps to top. This is basically a slap in the face to good UX. How many times can a visitor be expected to scroll back down the page knowing the next click will send them back up?

    – Drop shadow is a nice touch however my first two concerns kinda make this more gimmicky than engaging.

    Look at my home page, and this is ideally how your Posts module should work – it keeps a visitor focused while giving them the functionality to scroll through older/newer posts.

    Hi Dave,

    Color Picker – already there 🙂
    – from the Elementor Panel, select the hamburger icon (upper left) then select Color Picker
    – the top two rows (8 colors) can be set to your choice, then Save
    – these colors are now present in all the Elementor color pickers where colors can be chosen

    Flip Box
    – add this CSS to the Flip Box Custom CSS in the Advanced tab (adjust values as required)

    .elementor-flip-box__layer__title {
    text-shadow: 2px 2px 4px #333333;
}

.elementor-flip-box__layer__description {
    text-shadow: 2px 2px 4px #333333;
}

    – not sure what you mean with the pagination close to the Read more link. On my test site the pagination sits nicely in the center of the Post widget, well away from the Read more links
    – the Pagination works just as I would expect for this sort of layout; what you are describing is an ajax load more type functionality, which at this iteration, the Posts module does not have

    Cheers!

    Thanks for clearing up the color picker functionality, but I’m looking for a direct replacement of what I’m using now in Live Composer, and a reason not to refund Elementor. I see you recently added some neat content dividers, but is some form of ajax loading, or anything less static, being considered for the Post module?

    I got about 22 days left 🙂
