**Osteo Accordion for Elementor** is a premium layout addon by *TwinkleTheme* that extends the basic functionality of the native Elementor accordion. It is designed for users who need high-design FAQ sections or collapsible content blocks that go beyond standard text.
While the native Elementor accordion is functional, Osteo is a "style-first" plugin, offering nearly **40 different pre-designed styles** to match high-end corporate or creative websites.

### ## Key Features

* **Icon Customization:** Easily swap the expand/collapse icons with any FontAwesome or custom SVG icon to match your brand.
* **Rich Styling Controls:**
* **Gradients:** Support for complex gradient backgrounds on both the header and the content area.
* **Advanced Typography:** Granular control over font family, line height, and letter spacing for every element.
* **Borders & Shadows:** Detailed settings for border-radius (for rounded "pill" styles) and depth-creating box shadows.
* **SEO Friendly:** Uses clean HTML structure to ensure that your FAQ content is readable by search engine crawlers.
