X (Twitter) Feed Template Styling & Connection
This guide will walk you through all the options in the Style and Connection tabs of the X (Twitter) Feed template editor.
While the General Settings tab controls what content is shown (e.g., your source, filters, and header), the Style tab controls the visual design. This is where you can change all the colors, fonts, spacing, and borders to perfectly match your brand and website's look.
Style Settings
The Style tab is organized into several sections, each controlling a different part of your feed.

- Color: This opens a color picker to set the color of the border itself.
Connection Settings
The Connection tab is a simple shortcut. It allows you to connect a new X (Twitter) Account right from within the template editor.
This is very useful if you are building a template and realize you want to include an account you haven't connected yet, or if you want to add multiple accounts to a single feed.
Please Note: The steps to connect an account here are identical to the main X (Twitter) connection process.
For a complete, step-by-step guide on how to use these settings, please see our main X (Twitter) Configuration documentation.
