My understanding of the “correct” way to do parallax is that foreground layers scroll at a faster rate than background elements AND that they scroll in the same direction. You can see an example on this non-Kadence site:

Both the text and background image are moving in the same direction, but the text is moving faster.

Years ago, Kadence parallax used to work the same way. See this site with a very old version of Kadence blocks:

You can also see that is how parallax scrolling is defined in Wikipedia (see their example):

All elements are moving to the right; just at different rates.

These are all great. Unfortunately, in the later versions of Kadence blocks, the background scrolls in the OPPOSITE direction of the foreground as you scroll up:

This is an effect, but I don’t think it is technically parallax, and I prefer the feel of the original (more correct) way. Any chance of changing it back to how it was, with the background scrolling in the SAME direction as the foreground, just at a slower speed?

Thanks for your consideration,
Brian
