The Style tab controls your email's global design settings for a consistent look. From there, manage text appearance, colors, spacing, and button styles, to define your email's visual identity without individual block styling. You'll find five key sections—each giving you control over a specific aspect of your email’s overall layout and design:
🎨 Brand library
|
Set up your Brand Library so that every new template you select will inherit your brand properties, such as logo, colors, fonts, and social media links. In addition to saving you time, Brand Library allows you to maintain consistent email branding. |

📝 Template
The background and width settings of content blocks can be set from here.
Choose a background color that will be applied to all the content blocks in your campaign on the whole width. If you only want the body to have a background color, pick a color in the setting Body color below.
You can either add an image from your files or the stock images by clicking Add background image, or directly add Insert image from URL by pasting the link to the image in this field. You can adjust the position, repetition, and size of the image as required.
This option allows you to add a background color only to your body, as in the example below in blue.
Set the width of the content block in pixels. By default, the width is set to 600px. When you change the width, the layout and content blocks are automatically resized. The body width is depicted by the yellow arrow in the image below.
Toggle this option to allow your recipients to view an online version of your email campaign if they ever have trouble displaying it in their email clients. A View in browser link will automatically be added at the top of your email. To learn more, check our dedicated article Insert a View in browser (mirror) link in your campaigns.
🔡 Text appearance
You can choose the text appearance of all the styles (paragraphs, headings, etc). For each style, set the font family, size, and font color from the respective lists. Click on one of the font names and click + Manage fonts if you want to add fonts from Google fonts to your lists or to choose fallback fonts in case your recipients cannot see the font you have chosen first.
In the Common settings, you'll be able to choose the line height from the default ones or create a custom height, and choose the writing direction (left to right or right to left).
You can also change the font of a specific part of your design by selecting the text and choosing the Font from the formatting bar at the top of the Text block.
🖱️ Buttons
From there, you can define the default style of all the buttons of your newsletter. If you want to change the aspect of all the buttons quickly, do it from here!
You can choose the font style and size, width, radius, color, and border size and color.
↔️ Spacing
The Spacing setting is available in the Design tab, but also when you click on a Style block. It allows you to add Padding, which is the space between the element and the border. It is around all four sides of the content, and each side's size can be changed.
Toggle the Padding button to enable or disable them in one click. Choose which padding or margin size you would like to add for each side of your content by using the +/- buttons or writing the desired size in the text field.
