The Monarch Follow Widget lets you display social follow buttons in any widget area on your site.

You can add any number of Monarch widgets to your site, and they will all take on the settings defined here.

For example, you may want to add a follow widget to your sidebar and footer.

This option lets you choose from any of the available hover styles Monarch offers for Follow Buttons. You can hover over any of the options to get an example preview of the hover effect.

Once you decide on an option, just click to select any style, and a green checkmark will indicate your section.

Monarch offers 3 shapes for your icon buttons:

Combined with the styles mentioned above, you can create a variety of great-looking social buttons.

This option lets you select either Left or Centered.

Selecting Left will display your button labels and/or follow counts to the right of your network icons, creating a more horizontal button shape.

Selecting Centered will place your button labels and/or follow counts below your network icons and center the button content, creating a taller button shape.

Monarch offers 7 column width options. You can choose to have up to 6 equal width columns or let your buttons take on an auto-width based on the width of your buttons' content.

No matter your selection, Monarch accommodates small browser widths and adjusts your column selection for mobile devices.

Displaying follow counts is a great way to show off how many followers you have and even a great way to encourage visitors to click your follow links.

This number will appear inside each button to the right or below your network icons based on your Icon Placement.

Sometimes, it is better to not show counts at all than it is to show that a follow count is under a certain threshold.

This setting allows you to set the minimum follow count that Monarch will display in your follow buttons. This is a great feature for new profiles that have yet to have the opportunity to gain followers for a long time.

This follower count will add your followers across all displayed network profiles and display the total right above your buttons.

This is a great way to show the totality of your social following.

Check this box to display the network labels in your Follow Buttons. These can be customized to whatever you wish.

For example, you can choose to replace the Network Name Facebook with something like Follow Us.

If the option above is selected, this option will appear to allow you to choose your Outer Text Color.

This setting will affect your Total Follower Count and your Network Label and/or Individual Follow Count if you have selected circular buttons, which place button text outside the background color of your buttons.

Your page's background may be light or dark in color value — this option lets you make sure your text stands out on top of your background.

By default, the Follow buttons are spaced out with a small margin.

Checking this option lets you remove the spacing between your icons for a whole new set of design possibilities.

You can check this box if you wish to not display any added follow widgets on mobile devices.

Monarch uses the default network colors by default, but for a more custom approach, you can select your own button colors.

If an option below is not defined, that element's default setting will be used.
