Hi @upssjw, just curious. How did you add the images? Like `Typography` + `Image` + `Typograhy`? ---

did you mean this or other videos using float around images As I said before I just write without thinking, so I need to go back and rewrite everything just waiting until Elements can create a component ---

I have added video, and Elements component, gallery works but you have to use flow fix to stop it going across two cols ---

@paulcruice if you let me know how many columns you need eg 5 but reduce etc for different screen sizes, or if they have to be a certain width say 350px or what ever I will set up a container you can just copy into your page might help you see how it works ---

Steve, let’s say 5 columns is sufficient but I need the ability to vary the width of each column. I have been able to use Dan’s method of transferring to my file, so container won’t be necessary. ---

do you mean 5 columns varying the width of each individual column with a different width or just 5 columns with say 200px widths ---

Steve, Sorry for the delay but I’m not a programmer, so had to have a think about how to reply to you. Since I don’t know the limitations/interactions of Tailwind Columns, I have to express things the way I understand them. I hope the meaning gets through to you. I envisage: 1. An ability to **first** set the number of columns on a page or in a Container of, say, a smaller size. I don’t need any more than 5 columns. Should be able to set from 1 to 5 columns. Columns to be of equal width. Most of the time I would use 4 columns. 2. Minimum width of a column = 50mm. Max width = one column across the width of the screen. 3. The ability to adjust the gaps between columns. Max gap width probably 20mm. 4. The ability to add a divider between the columns, with thickness and colour adjustment. 5. Ability to add a Border of set thickness and colour, top/bottom/left/right/none 6. The ability to adjust the Padding between the border and the outside of the columns. 7. Ability to set break points for small screens. 8. Ability of text to automatically reflow as these changes are made. I think I have covered it all. Don’t know if this makes it worse or better for you. Finally, I have no idea what Flow Fix does nor where it is placed nor how it works. Cheers. ---

Hey @paulcruice Had a spare half hour so though I’d take a crack at making a custom coloumns component for you 😆 It’s not perfect, but it does work, [here’s the project](elementsapp://downloadDocument/ROHT9CKD1Qst), and here’s a video demoing it… Oh, and you can drop multiple components into the columns, although I’ve not tested that much. Have fun! ---
