Cornerstone 7.7.0, Pro 6.7.0, and X 10.7.0 RC (1)

Have you implemented gradients in a way that avoids the dreaded “gray dead zone”?

(https://css-tricks.com/the-gray-dead-zone-of-gradients/)

We don’t do interpolation as stated on that page. Our gradients are setup where we could do that in the future though.

I’ve been experiencing difficulties accessing the CSAI plugin through Max on multiple websites. Despite several troubleshooting attempts—such as using new installations, avoiding other plugins, trying the latest Beta 2 version, clearing caches, and refreshing Max multiple times—I continue to encounter errors when attempting to download the CSAI plugin. I have screenshots of the errors for reference below. Thank you for your helpCSAI Download error CSAI after pressing Install 2025-07-03_13-57-55

Install and activate the Beta plugin here and it should download properly. Sorry I wasn’t clear in my setup instructions. If that doesn’t help, create a new thread and I’ll help you out.

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 :man_shrugging:

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?

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

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!

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.

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:

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

@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?

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

Image Element that is

@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
