Apologies I’ve been out of the loop lately with actual testing - life’s been busy.

I opened an old test project which had V1 containers. I’d set the height of the main container to custom and set appropriate heights for each breakpoint. Worked reasonably well.

I switched it to a V2 container in the hope of working around a little bug and I find the custom option for sizing is gone.

How does one set a custom height (or width) for a V2 container?

Hey @trinube,

It’s a little more hidden now (I really need to get this into the Maual), anyway, here’s how to do it… Choose “Theme Spacing” then turn off the theme icon.

Here’s a quick video showing how it works.

Thanks Dan,

I had checked the manual but there wasn’t anything relevant there. A couple of things.

1. I had tried Theme Spacing but it failed as I only entered an integer rather than specifying pixels… my bad
2. The ‘bug’ I was trying to avoid still exists in V2 (although it may not be a bug).

I wanted to set fixed heights for the smaller screen sizes - all works fine. For the very largest screen size I wanted to use Screen for height. As soon as a I set Screen for the large breakpoint, it over-rides all the previously set fixed height breakpoints. I assumed I’d be able to over-ride by clicking the blue dot but it doesn’t work. I’m not sure if this is a feature or a bug but it’s not how I expected it to work.

BTW setting Auto as the defined height with Theme Settings reduces the image to a very jarring short image. If Screen was an option as well, perhaps it could work as expected.
