Frame Width %

Define the exact Width of your Frame with the the Percentage Width tool. It is important not to apply more padding as you always want to keep you Inner Padding consistent for perfect alignment. To tailor the width of the Frame, use the Percentage width tool, as explained in the FAQ above.

Next, apply the alignment of the Frame to the Left, Centre or Right and tidy up the alignment for other Frames with Buttons.

THINGS TO KNOW:

  • By default, all frames are set to 100%.
  • Frame Width does not apply to mobile, on mobile your Frame will automatically default back to 100%.
  • You may increase the Frame Width (over 100%) to make the Frame overflow.
  • Frame Width has 5% increments between 5% and 200%

FAQ: Why can't Padding be bespoke Widths?

Designers sometimes question why MOBLE don't recommend having bespoke Padding Widths. MOBLE's UI has Left and Right Padding in widths of 2px, 4px, 8px, 16px, 32px, 48px and 64px. Working with these precise widths ensures your content team will always keep consistent padding alignment. It also means that our bots can apply your padding preferences to all Layouts, giving your team an extra 5,000 Layouts to play with, that will always be perfectly aligned.

And... this is the narrative of today's sessions, you are not just designing for your immediate design considerations, your are designing for all future content users, so that they will always stay on track.

DESIGNER TIPS:

ONE
Frame Width in Columns

Sometimes it might seem logical to add extra Padding to Columns when designing on Desktop. However, adding extra Padding to Desktop might not consider your Mobile alignment. Since Width % is not active on Mobile it is a nice solutions to adjust Columns widths on Desktop without having to consider or test on Mobile.

TWO
Frame Width over 100%

You may wish to make a Frame smaller (less than 100%), or, you may wish to increase the frame width (over 100%) to make the Frame overflow it's normal size.
