What are Particles?

Particles are 'theme' specific widgets.

Particles

Particles are incredibly simple building blocks that Gantry 5 themes thrive on. They are easy to set up, require no coding experience to configure, and are built on an intuitive and human-readable Twig and YAML file structure that makes developing them a breeze. You can use particles to set up your logo, display content in a way that complements the theme design, and more.

Over 80 Particles are included with your theme, including Gallery Widgets, Headers, Video and Background Video, Image Widgets, Cards and several variations of WordPress posts.

Here’s a few examples of the particles included in your theme.
