You can easily play with overflight options offered by Divi. It is called the "hover" Webdesign... For example, one can do a zoom over image as we had seen in a previous tutorial. You can change the color of a text or background... But today I show you how changing an image over the mouse.

- Difficulty: zero!

Duration: time for a coffee!

1 – What is "hover" or "mice fly"?

Is it really necessary to explain what HOVER is? If you are a webdesigner, you know and master... But if you come straight from the ice age, here's a little definition:

The "Hover" or "Mouse Overflight" is the act of displaying a different state or status to an element when the internet user passes the mouse over it.

It's very common to create original layouts: change color, change size, change position, etc.

2 - Change an image on the flyover in 3 clicks

The advantage is that Divi offers overflight options in each module and the Image module Don't deviate from the rule, of course!

So, have you ever thought about changing a picture squarely when you pass the mouse? It's possible and it's very easy:

  1. Add an image module within your layout with Visual Builder
  2. Import your first image, it will be called image "A"
  3. Activate the hover option by clicking on the arrow icon.
  4. Select Hover tab (Flotter tab), mistranslated) and import your second image, image "B".
Add Image Module
Add an image module within your layout
import image A
Import first image "A"
import image B
Enable overflight options and import image "B"

That's it!

Nothing simpler, isn't it?

Don't hesitate to check both tabs (desk tab and flicker tab) to check that both images are in the right places.

enable the right tabs
Check images for each tab

3 – Tips for a successful effect

You will notice that for the effect to be successful, it is better to use two images that overlap perfectly.

For my example, I duplicated the same image twice and then changed the color and added graphic elements. I did this using two software programs:

  • Affinity Photo to turn the image and change the color
  • Affinity Designer to add graphical elements

As I explain in the following video, it took more time to make these images than to integrate them into Divi.

This reminds us that a good layout and good site design does not rely exclusively on the technique to create the site... On the contrary: your content – your texts and your images – will make all the difference! Then, Divi will allow you to integrate them easily...

4 - Change image over mouse: the tutorial in video

Here's the little video recap... Since it's a very short Divi tutorial, I took the opportunity to add, as a bonus, the design of these two images at the end of the video... So if you're curious, watch the entire video!

5 - Overflight options available in all Divi modules

As a reminder, The overflight options are available in each Divi module! Simply pass the mouse next to the title of the module to see the hover icons and other options... So don't hesitate to use it!

Besides, it is also in this place that you can activate the phone icon that allows you to handle pixel near responsive of each module. I will never repeat it enough: look well, all the options are there, in front of your eyes,
