Scrolling

Enable smooth scrolling

Checkbox · on by default

Eases the mouse wheel on desktop. Phones, the theme editor and visitors who ask for reduced motion always scroll natively. Scroll effects work either way.

Scroll feel

Choice · default Grip

Grip: each turn of the wheel goes a little further than usual and stops as soon as the wheel does, so the page keeps up with you. Elastic: each turn lands quickly and settles softly. Brisk: Elastic, a little quicker. Glide: the page keeps drifting after the wheel stops, for a slower, floating feel.

Options: Grip, Elastic, Brisk, Glide
