Hi Charlie,

Great work on the new Outline options. I think its almost there.
Understandably you remove the outline tab button on the main top navigation.
This makes sense but I wonder if this space could be reporposed into a toggle button used to expand to reveal the adjacent mode or brings back the modal if you close it and need to reopen.

I don’t know if you could put a button next to the Outline - export button to allow people to toggle some of these options on the fly e.g. toggle adjacent/modal. up to you

[bill_hodgson]

Adjacent mode is massive time saver. Here’s an idea, what if the elements on the left each had distinctive icons, such that in ‘compact mode’ you only saw the icons without needing to see the names e.g.

Have a toggle for this preference, it would give the structure panel a narrow streamlined appearance and still enabled you to move up and down the hierarchy but use less screen space.

Adjacent plus gradients are my most loved additions for a long time.

Many thanks, Bill.

How easy would it be to also add the aspect ratio controls to divs?

[whitemedia]

I thought there already there in the beta? An extreme aspect ratio shown in the screenshot.

[RubberDuckers]

Oh weird. I saw it on images and assumed it’d be on divs but didn’t see it. But just double checked and it is there! Note to self, I shouldn’t trust my 5pm Friday eyes!

[RubberDuckers]

I like this. I’ve been using adjacent (I thought I’d prefer split but adjacent feels better for me) - but when I then switch to my laptop it takes up too much of the screen (the original sidebar already pushed my macbook air 13in into the smaller laptop screen breakpoint so it was a pain as any changes are then just at that breakpoint). So being able to toggle would be great.

[charlie]

We can think on having an ability to hide the outline in those mode. It would probably work more like a toolbar button like in modal mode. Since the buttons on the top are really acting more as tabs.

Hmm, new Pro is breaking my elements where I used the padding-top trick to get aspect ratio on a Div. but there is something more to it, and I am digging deeper to understand what setting is causing it. I will get back when I find the culprit.

Edit, found it. It is described in this thread:

RC1: Dynamic background-type stopped working properly

Hi! I have some components where I dynamically choose between Image and Bg image. {{dc:p:imageSettings.mediaType}} [image] Furthermore, This background image is used on an absolutely positioned div, which is inside another div that has padding top in percentages, to get the desired aspect ratio. Everything was fine, but the new Pro is now stretching that image vertically. Left side is what is happening now, and the right side is how it should look like. [image] I am aware of the new asp…

[arnoldmeulenbeld]

I have a background image set to the featured image ({{dc:post:featured_image_id}}) in My header. This doesn’t get picked up in the RC1

[charlie]

@Misho Sent you a message, we’ll get that fixed in RC2.

@arnoldmeulenbeld I actually don’t see this happening, could you create a new topic and send me more info?

[arnoldmeulenbeld]

@charlie I fixed it by replacing the Backround Image with the Element. Don’t ask me why, but it works.

[arnoldmeulenbeld]

Image Element that is

[scotbaston]

@charlie I had the same issue with a site using beta where featured image wasn’t showing for a blog archive layout I had built. It was on the RC1 beta build but as the site was live I had to downgrade to the live version of Pro which fixed the issue.

I realise that’s not much help but it does show the problem wasn’t just @arnoldmeulenbeld

[charlie]

Unfortunately due to the issue with loopers and backgrounds images we’re probably going to have to remove breakpoint images for the Advanced Backgrounds till we can address this. The problem is you can’t use CSS var() with the CSS url() so it results in the background images being broken when using a looper. We’ll try to address this in Pro 6.8 whether it be from removing our usage of var() internally (which ends up creating a lot of style="--dc-var: imageUrl" attributes anyway) or another way to fix. Sorry about this.

[charlie]

Okay RC2. We have a simple fix / workaround for the background image issue we were experiencing with loopers, while still having background images with different breakpoint images. Please contact me if you still have an issue with background images. Hopefully we can keep this feature in for 6.7.0 and not postpone till a fix I described in my last post.

• Bugfix - Advanced Background images didn’t work in scenarios where loopers were being used
