There are 4 different styles – minimal, colored, rounded, and stretch.

There is also the possibility to customize the button blocks from the **Styling tab** of the element options panel.

The General tab for the Social Share Icons includes basic options for customization of the element on your website.

**Add new share icon** – As the name implies, this will add a new, blank icon block. Clicking on it will allow you to use the Icon Library to select the Social Network icon of your choice

Layout type – This option will provide you with two styles for your social icons. Miniaml and Colored.

The **Minimal style**, as the name implies, will add a minimal look to your social share icons. No background color or social media default look will be added to the icons.

The **Colored style** will add the default colors for each social icon. Dark blue for facebook, light blue for twitter

**Rounded** option will change the social share icons, from a square button to a rounded button.

**Stretched** option will slightly increase the width of the social share icon.
