Social Share

The Social Share Component is a custom AARP component designed to enable authors to add social share icons to an AEM page. 


Default Style

Why is this black? When nothing is selected it should be their brand colors. For specialized media sites, they use the same token but in their theme.

'UXDIA Body Theme' Selected

Lorem ipsum dolar sit amet consectetur.

'UXDIA Footer Theme' Selected

Line icons are deprecated. Use new fill styles.

'Horizontal Marquee' + 'UXDIA Body Theme'
