duration: RangeValue

The Particles effect duration in seconds, then the container will be destroyed

fpsLimit: number

The FPS (Frame Per Second) limit applied to all particles animations.

fullScreen: boolean | RecursivePartial<IFullScreen>

Sets the animated background mode for particles canvas bringing it to the back

interactivity: IInteractivity

The particles interaction options

responsive: IResponsive[]

smooth: boolean

Enables a smooth effect, by default it's disabled When enabled the animation will speed up or slow down depending on fps The IOptions.fpsLimit field will be used as a reference for the animation speed Some examples: - with a IOptions.fpsLimit of 60 the animation will be twice faster on 120 fps devices - with a IOptions.fpsLimit of 120 the animation will be twice slower on 60 fps devices The animation will be always smooth, but the behavior could be affected by the user screen refresh rate It's recommended to keep this disabled, be careful.
