Responsive Layout

- Auto Spacing
- Large Device Breakpoint
- Medium Device Breakpoint
- Small Device Breakpoint
- Enable Col Max-width
- Reverse Column Stacking Order
When Disabled only Base Font Size is available.
Auto Spacing
Auto Spacing removes the requirement to manually configure margin and padding settings for each row and column on small devices, ensuring consistent spacing throughout the layout. This simplifies the design process and can result in considerable time and effort savings.
When enabled (default), Auto Spacing configures the margin to
0px
for all directions and the padding-left and padding-right to0px
for both rows and columns on small devices. The padding-top and padding-bottom inherit the values configured in the Global Settings or those defined for the small device size in the row or column settings.The CSS code snippet below displays how the CSS is represented for both rows and columns on small devices.
@media (max-width: 768px) {
.fl-row[data-node] .fl-row-content-wrap {
margin: 0;
padding-left: 0;
padding-right: 0;
}
.fl-col[data-node] .fl-col-content {
margin: 0;
padding-left: 0;
padding-right: 0;
}
}If you disable Auto Spacing, the margin and padding values set for desktop will be inherited by the small device size instead.
If you need more precise control over the spacing of rows and columns on small devices, you can modify the margin and padding options for each row and column individually. These options can be found in the Advanced Tab for the specific row and column that you are currently working on.

at which the layout will adjust for large devices. The default value is 1200px

.
Small Device Breakpoint

at which the layout will adjust for small devices. The default value is 768px
