After creating the layout, you’ll find different options to customize the row in the setting. One of the options you’ll find is “Shape Divider.” Check the image to find it more easily.

According to the image, we can see there are 9 initial customizable fields available. Now let’s have some ideas about the main functions.
1. Position and Type
In the very first setting, you’ll have to select the position. There are 2 options for you. You can select the top, bottom, or both. Let’s start with the top position. After that, you’ll have to select the type. There are 8 preset shapes available.
You can pick any one of them to design your page. Let’s explore a few of them.
If you pick the 1st preset, it’ll appear as:

2. Color
The next and other important function is the color setting. You can change the color of the shape according to personal preferences. Luckily there are options to select both the “Solid and Gradient. “Let’s see an example.
You’ll find different solid color options when you pick the “Solid” color setting. Pick any of them. Or, you can click the color picker (the brush icon) to open the color palette and choose your desired colors. Let’s go with the blue color and see how it appears:
Now, let’s go with the Gradient setting, and like the previous one, you’ll find some gradient colors. I’ve selected the “Juicy Cake” color, and here’s how it appears:
3. Width and Height
The next options you’ll find are width and height. You can easily change the width and height according to your wish. For example, let’s keep the “width 100 and height 500” and see how the shape appears –
4. Flip, Bring to front, and Offset
There are 3 more settings left that are specially used for further customization. Let’s explore a bit about them.
There is an option called “flip.”, By default, it is disabled. If you enable it, the shape will flip its position. Here’s how it’ll appear.
The next option is “bring to front.” The function of this setting is if any block overlaps the shape, you can select whether the shape will be upfront or the block. By default, the option is disabled, which means if you add any block, it’ll appear in front of the shape.
But if you want the shape to be brought to the front, enable the option. Let’s see how it looks, then.
