Ring
Cards standing on a ring in depth. It turns slowly on its own, turns with a drag and keeps its spin when you let go; Previous and Next step it one card at a time. Swipe it on a phone. Needs the EtchPress Runtime; without it it is a row of cards to swipe.

Before you copy
This is a showpiece. It pastes into Etch like any other item and it is complete without anything else, but its motion comes from the EtchPress runtime: a small script that loads only on the pages that use a showpiece.
Etch for WordPress: download the EtchPress Runtime plugin from Downloads in your account, install it and activate it. Paste your licence key under Settings, EtchPress Runtime, and it updates from the Plugins screen like any other plugin.
Etch Studio: download the EtchPress runtime files from Downloads in your account, unzip them and drop them into your project's Asset Manager, then paste the item. Studio ships the files it needs with your site.
What you can build with it
A portfolio that wants to be touched. Team members. Products in a range. Testimonials with photos.
Props
eyebrow (text, optional); title (text, optional); cards (repeater: image, alt, title, meta); auto (select: turn on its own, or only when moved); prevLabel and nextLabel
States shown
At rest: a slow turn (if on). Drag sideways: the ring follows the pointer or finger, and coasts when released; a vertical swipe still scrolls the page. Previous and Next: one card at a time. Cards facing away dim. Reduced motion and no runtime: a scrolling row.
How to change it
Content and options are 6 props in the component's settings panel. Colour, type, spacing and radius follow your Automatic.css settings, so a change to the site's palette or scale changes this too. For anything else, edit the classes in the Style Manager, starting with .ring. Its behaviour is a small script that travels with the component; no plugin and nothing to install.
ACSS tokens used
space-xs, space-s, space-m, space-l, radius, text-s, primary-dark, text-dark-muted, card tokens, focus-width, focus-color.
ACSS requirements
ACSS 4 defaults. Needs the EtchPress Runtime, 0.6.0 or later: the EtchPress Runtime plugin on WordPress, or the runtime's files dropped into the project's Asset Manager in Etch Studio. Without it you get the still version.
