I want to have an image and text box side-by-side, so that our website name is next to our logo. Flex does not seem to do this ---

Give it a try with Grid using these settings and see if this works for you: ![Screenshot 2026-05-12 at 7.58.58 AM](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/3X/8/d/8d3284f88f82712fc00d02c4e2455fb25b86aaec.png) ![Screenshot 2026-05-12 at 7.59.44 AM](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/3X/e/8/e823431ca00093acbc6e5e6e5450ce971416f383.png) ---

It does. Set the flex to rows instead of columns. ---

My inspector icon disappears every time I shut down, and I have to reinstall it. My menu bar acquired an image somehow, which I can’t remove, and no menu pages show on any page. The “remove menu” feature does not work, so that I could add a new menu. > **(attachments)** > > ![menu:inspector.jpg](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/3X/7/f/7f34a86a830eafbb001cd71035e38a5615d19aa5.jpeg)
