Welcome to this bonus episode of our weekly dev diary. This one was recorded for all the new beta testers we’ll be onboarding this month (starting tomorrow).
It’s a whistle stop tour of getting started with Elements, however while recording it I realized there’s too much to cover in a single video — Kinda shows how far we’ve come over the past year
Thankfully we have this forum to help new users and a rapidly growing manual (with videos).
Links Color Question - Will the links color only control those links created in a Typography Component or will it also control the colors of links in a text component??
If not, how should we set defaults for links in a text component??
I have some questions. Let’s say you have a site 900 pixels wide. Would it be possible to have a row (or a few rows, each of them can move separately) of 10 pictures each 200 pixels wide. That would mean about 2000 pixels wide, forgetting about the margin for now. That would not fit on the site or it would break them up and put them on top of each other. That is not want I want. I would like to be able to scroll to left and right to see the pictures. You see it in Apple books and more apps. Would this be possible in Elements?
Then is it possible to add a sound to a link so that when you hover over it it would play?
And is it possible to add a background sound to a site?
This is certainly a solution. However, it seems to me that “visited” should be a core feature for the link tools, along with main style and hover. Just my opinion.
I totally agree with this as a minimum. What we really should be able to do is set links color in the theme studio, where it will be the same for the entire site and if one needs something else, then you can override the particular place where you want it to be different.
Using a custom class in multiple places increases the workload substantially, having to manually set each time, when it readily lends itself to being a site default.
True. That would work. But…doesn’t that defeat the purpose of having the text component for short bits of text (like 1/4 of a line of text that will be a link) and the typography component for long form text??

I was just giving you solutions to use now.
