Size
Sets the width and height of the element. These properties depend on the layout configuration of the parent element.
Height
Sets the width/height of the element. The column, row and align layouts have a more flexible way to set element position.
Fixed
Sets the width of the element as a fixed value.
Pixels: sets the width to a fixed pixel value
Percentage: sets the width to a percentage of the parent container
Fit
The element’s width and height automatically adjust based on the size of its child elements. To add a mininum and/or maximum value, click the + symbol.
Min: the minimum width/height, defined as a pixel value or percentage of the parent container.
Max: the maximum width/height, defined as a pixel value or percentage of the container.
Fill
The element's width and height fills the available space in the parent container. To add a mininum and/or maximum value, click the + symbol.
Min: the minimum width/height, defined as a pixel value or percentage of the parent container.
Max: the maximum width/height, defined as a pixel value or percentage of the container.
Parent container has a fixed layout
Width/height
Sets the widht/height of the element. The fixed layout has a more rigid way of setting element size, based on static pixel values.
Fixed
Sets the width of an element as a fixed pixel value.
Layout
Alignment
Parent layout: Column
In a column layout, a child element's property is restricted to the vertical axis.
Left
Elements are aligned to the left edge.
Center
Elements are aligned to the vertical center of the container.
Right
Elements are aligned to the right edge.
Parent layout: Row
In a row layout, a child element's alignment property is restricted to the horizontal axis.
Top
Elements are aligned to the top edge of the container
Center
Elements are aligned to the horizontal center of the container.
Bottom
Elements are aligned to the bottom edge of the container.
Parent layout: Align
In an align layout, a child element's property is restricted to one of nine cells in a 3x3 grid. Any element placed within the same cell will overlap.
Top-left
Elements are aligned to the top-left corner of the container.
Top-center
Elements are aligned to the top edge and horizontally centered within the container.
Top-right
Elements are aligned to the top-right corner of the container.
Center-left
Elements are vertically centered and aligned to the left edge of the container.
Center
Elements are vertically and horizontally centered within the container.
Center-right
Elements are vertically centered and aligned to the right edge of the container.
Bottom-left
Elements are aligned to the bottom-left corner of the container.
Bottom-center
Elements are aligned to the bottom edge and horizontally centered within the container.
Bottom-right
Elements are aligned to the bottom-right corner of the container.
Parent layout: Fixed
Elements are positioned using fixed X and Y coordinates, defined in pixels.
Spacing
Padding
Defines the internal spacing between an element’s content and its border in a static pixel value. Padding adds space inside the element, without affecting its position relative to other elements.
Padding is added on the vertical and horizontal axis respectively.
Margin
Defines the external spacing between an element and surrounding elements.
Margin adds space outside the element’s border. It affects the distance between elements and influences layout positioning.
Style
Style sets the visual design of the element, including properties such as colors, fonts, borders, shadows and other appearance settings.
Styles are shared across elements. When multiple elements use the same style, updating the style will automatically update all elements that reference it.
Style selector
Select the style to apply to the selected element.
Edit style
To edit the style, click the edit style icon. The changes to that style will apply to all elements using that style.
Detach style
Detaching the style will disconnect the element from the current style, but keep the formatting of the style until you make changes to it. This only affects the selected element.
Overriden styles
You can override a style on one or more elements, using the defined style properties but allowing you to make individual changes to styling properties that apply only to the selected element(s).
Overridden styles will be marked with an Overridden labelI.
You can reset the selected element's style by clicking the Reset icon.
Appearance
Opacity
Opacity sets the transparency level of the selected element(s). At 100%, the element is fully opaque. At 0%, it is fully transparent (invisible).
Opacity affects child elements: If applied to a container, all child elements inherit the same opacity level.
Opacity does not collapse the element: Even at 0%, the element still occupies space in the layout. Unlike hiding an element (using This element is visible on page load, a conditional visibility rule, or a hide/show action), opacity does not reduce the element’s width or height to zero.
Radius
Sets the roundness of the selected element(s).
How radius is calculated
The value is applied in pixels and determines the radius of the corner’s arc. Larger values create more rounded corners.
The maximum visible roundness depends on the element’s size. If the radius is set to a value greater than half of the element’s width or height, the browser automatically caps it at half of the smallest dimension. For example:
A square (100 × 100 px) with a radius of 50 px becomes a circle.
A rectangle (200 × 100 px) with a radius of 50 px becomes a pill shape.
Setting a radius larger than 50 px in the second example will not increase the curvature further, because 50 px is already half of the element’s height.
Individual radius
To set an individual radius of each of the four corners, click the Individual radius icon.
Border
The border defines the outline of the selected element.
It is drawn around the element’s content and padding. Increasing the border width increases the total visible size of the element unless the layout system compensates for it.
Borders sit outside the padding but inside the margin. Padding adds space between the content and the border, while margin adds space outside the border, affecting the distance to neighboring elements.
Border types
Note: some of these border types require a width of more than 1 pixel to make a visible difference.
None
No border is displayed.
Solid
A single continuous line.
Dotted
A series of round dots forming the border line.
Dashed
A series of short line segments forming the border.
Double
Two parallel solid lines. The total border width is divided between the two lines and the space between them.
Groove
A carved effect that makes the border appear pressed into the page, using light and dark shading.
Ridge
The opposite of groove; creates a raised effect using light and dark shading.
Inset
Makes the element appear embedded into the page, with shading that simulates depth inward.
Outset
Makes the element appear raised from the page, with shading that simulates depth outward.
Border width
Sets the width of the border, defined by a pixel value.
Border color
Sets the color of the border in a hex value. You can also set the opacity of the border. Can be a static or the result of a dynamic expression.
Individual borders
To set individual border properties on the top, bottom, left and right, clitk the individual border icon.
Background
Sets the background of the selected element(s) as a color, gradient or image.
Color
Sets the background color in a hex value. You can also set the opacity of the border. Can be a static or the result of a dynamic expression.
Gradient
Sets a gradient color, ranging from a start color and an end color, with an optional mid color.
Linear gradient
A linear gradient is a background effect where colors transition gradually along a straight line.
The gradient follows a defined direction (for example, top to bottom, left to right, or at a specific angle). Instead of a single solid color, the element displays a smooth blend between two or more colors across that line.
Top
The gradient begins at the top and transitions downward.
Left
The gradient begins on the left side and transitions horizontally to the right.
Bottom
The gradient begins at the bottom and transitions upward.
Right
The gradient begins on the right side and transitions horizontally to the left.
Custom
Allows you to define a specific angle for the gradient direction.
Radial gradient
A radial gradient is a background effect where colors transition outward from a central point.
Instead of following a straight line (like a linear gradient), the color spreads in a circular or elliptical shape from the center to the edges.
Radial gradient types
Circle
The gradient expands evenly in all directions from the center, forming a perfect circle.
Ellipse
The gradient expands in an oval shape, stretching more in one direction based on the element’s width and height.
Radial gradient expansion
Define how far the radial gradient extends from its center point.
They control which edge or corner of the element determines the gradient’s final size, affecting how quickly the color transition spreads across the element.
Closest side
The gradient expands from the center until it reaches the nearest side of the element.
Closest corner
The gradient expands from the center until it reaches the nearest corner of the element.
Farthest side
The gradient expands from the center until it reaches the farthest side of the element.
Farthest corner
The gradient expands from the center until it reaches the farthest corner of the element.
Stops
Sets the start and end point of the radial gradient. By default, it has a Start and End. Optionally, you can add an intermediate point by clicking the + symbol next to Stops.
Image
Sets an image as the element's background. The image can be a static file uploaded directly in the editor, or the result of a dynamic expression.
Upload
Upload a static image file to use as the background.
Make dynamic
Click the + icon to define a dynamic expression that returns the image to use as the background.
Icon
Icon color
Sets the color of the icon. You can choose a custom color or use a color variable.
Icon shadow
Adds a shadow that follows the profile of the icon.
Horizontal
The horizontal offset as a pixel value
Vertical
The vertical offset as a pixel value
Icon shadow color
Sets the color of the icon shadow, as a hex value, color variable or dynamic expression.
Make the icon spin
Makes the icon rotate continuously. Typically used for loading spinners.
Shadow
Adds an outside or inside shadow to the selected element(s).
Shadow type
Defines whether the shadow appears outside or inside the element.
Outside: creates a drop shadow around the element.
Inside: creates an inner shadow within the element’s boundaries.
Position (X / Y)
Sets the horizontal (X) and vertical (Y) offset of the shadow in pixels.
Positive X moves the shadow to the right; negative X moves it to the left.
Positive Y moves the shadow downward; negative Y moves it upward.
Blur
Controls how soft the shadow appears. Higher values create a more diffused shadow; lower values produce a sharper edge.
Spread
Defines how much the shadow expands or contracts before blur is applied. Positive values increase the shadow’s size; negative values reduce it.
Color
Sets the shadow’s color and opacity. You can define a custom color (for example, a hex value) and adjust its transparency percentage.
Interaction
Workflows
Shows the workflows connected to the selected element. Click the + symbol to create a new workflow associated with that element. The list of available events differs based on which element is selected.
Shortcut: To quickly add a workflow to a selected element, press Cmd+K on macOS or Ctrl+K on Windows. The shortcut defaults to the most likely event for that element type.
Visibility
Visible on view load
Enable this to make the element visible by default. This checkbox makes the element visible every time the view loads. Change the visibility of the element based on certain conditions in the Conditional section in the property editor or with a show/hide element action in a workflow.
Collapse when hidden
Enable this to make the element collapse its height and width to 0 pixels when hidden. This allows surrounding elements to automatically shift into the freed space, preventing empty gaps in the layout.
This is commonly used in single-page applications, where elements are shown and hidden dynamically as users navigate, without leaving the page.
Options
Make interactive
Makes the icon clickable, allowing you to attach click events and trigger workflows.
Make the icon spin
Enables a continuous rotation animation on the icon. Commonly used for loading indicators.
Transitions
Transitions add animation when a style property changes.
Instead of updating instantly, the element gradually shifts from its previous state to the new one over a defined duration. For example, if you reduce an element’s width, a transition can make it smoothly shrink rather than change size immediately.
Transition styles
ease
Starts slowly, speeds up in the middle, and slows down at the end.
ease-in
Starts slowly and accelerates toward the end.
ease-out
Starts quickly and decelerates toward the end.
ease-in-out
Starts slowly, accelerates in the middle, and slows down again at the end.
linear
Moves at a constant speed from start to finish.
step-start
Jumps immediately to the end state at the start of the transition.
step-end
Remains in the start state and jumps to the end state at the very end of the transition.
Transition duration
Transition duration defines how long the transition animation runs, measured in milliseconds.
