Folder appearance controls how a folder is presented around its artwork. It does not replace or remove the artwork itself.

The four styles

Traklist has four folder-appearance effects. Which ones you can use depends on the surface.

• Backdrop — a still, full-page color treatment. Available on Web and iPhone.

• Lava — an animated color background. Available on Web only.

• Bloom — an animated gradient header based on the folder's artwork. Available on iPhone only.

• Poster / Classic — a full-width or compact artwork header. iPhone only.

Web has one background choice (Backdrop or Lava, one at a time). iPhone has one background choice (Backdrop or Bloom, one at a time) and a separate header choice (Classic or Poster).

Where to open styles

• On Web, open an owned folder and choose Styles in its header.

• On iPhone, open an owned folder and choose the folder style control in its header.

• You can change appearance for folders you own. Folder appearance choices do not require a Pro plan.

What syncs and what doesn't

• Backdrop on/off and its color are saved with the folder, so a public share shows them and iPhone shows what Web set (and the other way around).

• Backdrop Depth stays on Web or iPhone where you set it. It can look different on another device or to a share visitor.

• Lava on Web and Bloom on iPhone are separate effects. A Web Lava setting does not create a Bloom presentation on iPhone.

• Classic and Poster are per-iPhone.

The rules that span both articles

• Backdrop and Bloom cannot be used at the same time on iPhone. Turning on one turns off the other.

• Choosing Poster turns Bloom off. Switching from Bloom to Classic requires turning Bloom off first.

• Shared-link folders use a fixed presentation and do not offer these controls.
