Hello again, We’ve been hard at work squashing bugs and polishing up Components, in today’s dev diary I go over some of those changes — It’s sometimes the small things that make a big difference ☺ We’re aiming to release beta 20 later today, keep your eyes peeled for the update! Watch today’s video and post in the comments below if you’d like to get in on the Elements beta later this week 😉 [![](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/3X/e/3/e3f42cc2607e854094a8744ba51cef09c5bdece5.jpeg "Dev Diary Ep46 — Grids, Buttons, and Beta Updates") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PLKxk_2S-ho) ## Thanks as always!

Thank you for the image support in buttons. But for some reason I’m unable to drop an SVG into the drop zone, instead it drops it outside the button. Would be nice if there was an actual image well in the inspector as well to make it even easier to drop the item. ---

OK, the problem here was user error. I did not realize that I had to drop an SVG COMPONENT into the drop zone not an SVG image. Works as expected now. Sorry. ---

While I like how I can drag items into the grid that faint blue line to indicate the drop zone is very thin and nearly disappears when placed next to another blue item like the default button color. What if the highlight filled the spot that the element is about to be placed into instead? ---
