      🎯 Appeal Display: Customize Your Fundraising Theme

      The Projected Display Settings allow you to control how your donation item’s appeal display appears during an event. With theme selection, layout options, and customizable content, you can build a visually engaging and branded experience that encourages giving.

      This guide walks you through how to choose a display theme, adjust appearance settings, and manage what shows up on screen.

      🎨 Step 1: Choose a Theme

      1. Navigate to: Item > Manage Items> Donation Item> Projected Display Settings > Theme
      2. In the Theme dropdown, choose from:
        1. Legacy Displays
          1. Thermometer
          2. Gauge
          3. Custom Image Thermometer
        2. Standard Display
          1. A modern layout with additional customization tools
          2. Better suited for flexible branding and on-screen messaging

      🧰 Step 2: Customize the Standard Display

      Once Standard Display is selected, you’ll unlock several formatting and content tools:

      🖋️ Font Settings

      • Font: Choose from available font styles

      • Font Color: Use the full color picker to match your branding

      🏷️ Title Above Total

      • Set a custom title to display above the total raised.

      • Character limit: 20

      Default: TOTAL RAISED

      💬 Custom Message

      • Add a custom message beneath the total raised

      • Character limit: 100

      • Default: Blank (optional)




      🖼️ Step 3: Adjust Display Appearance

      🌈 Background Style

      • Use the dropdown to select a preset background style

      • For full control, select Custom Color and use the color picker

      🌡️ Thermometer Type

      • Choose between:

        • Custom Image

        • Standard Thermometer

       

      🖼️ Visual Tip: If using a custom image thermometer, the image begins gray and fills with color as donations are made. When the goal is reached, the image becomes fully colored — creating a vibrant visual milestone.⬇️

      👥 Step 4: Configure Display Content

      To streamline customization, display toggles have been combined into a single dropdown menu. Choose up to two display elements at a time:

      • Show only Donor Names

      • Show only Custom Message

      • Show only Sponsors

      • Show Donor Names + Sponsors

      • Show Donor Names + Custom Message

      • Show Custom Message + Sponsors

      ⚠️ Sponsor logos/messages won’t appear on smaller screens (like mobile). To maintain sponsor visibility, use a Sponsor Content Block on your landing page.

      🎯 Optional: Show Goal Toggle

      • Use this toggle to enable or disable the fundraising goal display on screen.

      • Disabling the goal can simplify the display for events focused on total funds raised rather than progress.


      ✅ Summary

      By customizing your Projected Display Settings, you’ll create a visually appealing, goal-driven fundraising display that matches your brand and adapts to any screen. Use the Standard Display for the most flexibility, and adjust your fonts, colors, and content visibility to optimize the experience for your donors.
