Widgets are pre-configured animations, ready to be used in Kwik’s projects. The Shake widget simulates the shaking effect using the content of a layer/group/page.

When selected, the Shake widget will open the following window:

You need to enter a Name for the animation (or accept Kwik’s suggestion). Kwik will cleanup your name if it contains spaces, strange characters, Lua reserved names, and/or if the length of the name is bigger than 15 characters.

Kwik automatically uses the selected Layer option (in this example, layer shake). If you intention is to animate a group or the full page, select the appropriated radio button (and the group name).

Properties panel:

Information about the current layer content will appear in the top of the window (position and size). It is important to understand that animations will always use the current position of the layer, group or page as starting point.

Rotate: angle of the shake rotation;

Anchor point: lists all available anchor point options for the animation rotation. For example, a circle should rotate using its middle center point;

Duration/Speed: this is the total time, in seconds, of the animation;

Delay: wait time before the animation starts. if 0(zero), animations starts when the page loads;

Loop: amount of times the animation will repeat;

Starts: sets when the animation starts. Options are:

• When page starts: in this case, the animation automatically starts with the page (respecting the Delay option above);
• Wait request: in this case, the animation will only play if activated by a button or action;
