Hi Team
Can we please have the default horizontal and vertical gaps defaulted to 0rem? Surely more often than not these are going to be 0, rather than 1rem?
Having to remove the traditional 45px from section padding and now the 1rem from column gaps will just add unnecessary work. Setting to zero and allowing users to add in gaps as required seems the more logical approach…?
Cheers,
Sam
Sorry to disagree but I only really go 0 horizontal gaps on 2 cols, anything more than 2 cols usually has a gap (for me)
I also don’t see the point for default zero gap. I’d have to add them in constantly.
Also not sure why would you have to remove Section paddings by default? I don’t find the default 45px to be enough, so I bump it up to 85 for desktop usually.
But if you need it to be zero by default, you can save the section preset with zero paddings and make it a default template. Probably you can do the same with column gaps, so every time you drag it in, it is just the way you want it.
Hi Sam,
We do want to keep that base level gap, but I have something that may help you. After adding a new Section and clicking a Row Layout, right-click the Section and choose “Remove Spacing”. This will remove the Section padding, and turn off the Row container.
I’ve made an adjustment that will be in the next beta where this action will also set the Row vertical and horizontal gap to zero.
Perhaps starting from that action will be less clicks for you to reach your desired result.
Perfect - thanks @alexander
@scotbaston @Misho - All points taken on board. It’s just additional work, steps for each and every new section if required. Alexander’s right-click option sounds great though.
Cheers
You’re welcome! Hope that makes a difference. There’s always a balance to strike when finding the best defaults when there are many different design styles and approaches. Misho has a great point about saving a default. Takes a few minutes up front before building the site, but it saves you that mental overhead throughout the building process.
