Floating Actions

Run mods using buttons that appear as Floating Action icons on the page.

Users can initiate mods with buttons from the PixieBrix Floating Action Button. These are great for launching frequently used mods or utilities.

How to Create a Floating Action

Use the Trigger starter brick with a Page Load trigger event to register the Floating Action when a page loads.

1. Add the Floating Action Brick

Click the + button in the Brick Action Pipeline to add the Add Floating Action brick.

1. Configure the Floating Action

In the Add Floating Action brick:

• Title: This appears as a tooltip when hovering over the icon.

• Action Type: Choose static or dynamic actions. (See explanation below.)

• Icon: Pick one from the dropdown or use a custom icon by pasting a URL to an SVG.

Within the Floating Action’s pipeline, add any bricks you want to run when a user clicks the action.

Static vs Dynamic Actions

Type	When to use	Example Use
Static	For global actions that should always be available	"Start recording" button
