Picking how the object will look like

After you did all the technicalities, it is now time for some visual polishing. In the visual tab at your disposal are position settings where you tell the plugin where to place the object – on top or the bottom of the page.

The next one is the determination of spacing between the object and the top of the page. It is an optional feature but if you choose to implement it, you should know that entering the numbers of pixels means how many pixels the sticky element will be distant from the top. This comes useful when we have the object is appearing too close to the top of the page.
