Hi everyone,

I am trying to get a pattern in the background (which works). But I am using a `Container` so I can spread over the entire width of my page.

But in the Element Editor it keeps showing the `Dropzone` which I won’t need in this case.

 ![CleanShot 2025-02-24 at 13.28.14](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/3X/f/f/ffd701602544425eb49ec3060eaaa490cac5a18f.png)

Is there a way to get rid of the `Dropzone` maybe with a switch?

Oh this is a good suggestion, and something I’ve found has got in the way when designing. I’ll get @ben to add a switch for it!

could you not use a Divider?

That has the background controls available, or are you using a specific feature on the Container?

How are you achieving that background pattern?

Hi @ben,

yes 🤦‍♂️

with a `Divider` I can achieve that too. Awesome thanks. Only thing that I do not have in the Divider is the Border.

Then it’s probably better to add borders to the Divider - I’ll add it to the list! 🙂

Sorry for Hijacking this divider thread:) Is it possibel to have text in the middle of the divider?

Hi @engrafiker and @pumpkin,

Here’s the thing…you can already create this inside of Elements. We’ve built the core components in such a way it allows for a lot of things to made.

In the example below I’m just using a flexbox… pretty cool, right?

👉 [Open the Divider Project in Elements](elementsapp://downloadDocument/ORZ8r7ekQnvt).

Woah, that is really cool!

You could simplify it to a single divider, that way it’d be more flexible — and more usable in other places where you don’t want the text 🤔
