Text margins / paddings in Styles- does not exit in ver 20

Post by longman »

hello,

I just purchased version 20, previous was 17.

Margins and Paddings do not exist in Styles in ver 20 :(

This is in my previous version (17) https://prnt.sc/4owB0_rliEWI

It does not exist in 20 version :( https://prnt.sc/UjNTqLFc1CL3

Now my sites texts opened in version 20 is a mess.

I wonder why it was removed? Its very important for styling texts.

Thanks
longman

If it no longer exists, then I have to go through all the texts objects and manually give them 10 left-10 right margins, in both desktop and mobile layouts :( it will be huge work.

Is there a way to apply margin 10 left - 10 right to all texts?

It makes no sense to have margin/padding removed in Styles manager, honestly. It makes manual work more when adding new texts.

I use margins in order to make texts put well in desktop or mobile sides, not stick to the sides, which is bad to eyes of readers.

The functionality has not been removed. The options are is hidden because many users where using it the wrong way.

You can unhide the options by adding the following registry key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Pablo Software Solutions\WYSIWYG Web Builder 20\Settings\AdvancedStyles
DWORD, value 1

Note that this only affect the user interface. The margin are always applied to the style whether they are hidden or not.

Also, in my opinion you should add the margin and padding to the container of the text, not the text (characters) itself.

You mean if my texts are within a Flex Grid, I add margins to the Flex Grid?

Thanks!

No, add the margin to the text object (= container), instead of the text itself (=content).
