Custom section
An empty section that takes any of the theme's content blocks, for a layout the other sections do not have.
What it does
A section with a color scheme, a width, padding and an optional background image, and nothing else: the content is entirely the blocks you add. It is the theme’s blank canvas.
When to use it
A block of text over a background image, a row of statistics with a button, an app block that needs its own section. Everything else has a section of its own.
Blocks
All of the theme’s content blocks, and app blocks.
Setting it up
- Pick a Color scheme and, if you want one, a Background image.
- Add blocks in the order they should appear.
Settings
| Setting | Type | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| General | ||
| Color scheme | Color scheme | The surface of the section: background, text, buttons and accent as one contrast-checked set. Schemes are edited under Theme settings, Colors. |
| Width | Select | Fixed width keeps the section inside the page margin so it lines up with the sections around it. Full width runs it to the edge of the screen.Options: Fixed width, Full width · Default: Fixed width |
| Content | ||
| Background | Image | A photo behind the blocks. Empty shows the color scheme background. |
| Section padding | ||
| Top padding | Range | Space between the top of the section and its content. On a phone the theme tightens it by a quarter.0 to 120 px · Default: 60 |
| Bottom padding | Range | Space between the content and the bottom of the section. On a phone the theme tightens it by a quarter.0 to 120 px · Default: 60 |
This section also accepts app blocks, so apps that provide one can add content here.
Tips
- Every block the theme has is available here: heading, text, button, key point, stats, specs, collapsible row, video, image, and the app blocks of your installed apps.
- Use it for the one section that needs a shape Rich text and Image with text do not offer. If you find yourself building the same custom section three times, tell us; it should be a section.
