Layout Grid, Object Backgrounds

[netmarketer]

Hi,

I am using layout grids containing text and image objects.

For 2 columns, currently I have to add to the padding of the shorter object/ column to get the background close to the taller object/column.

Is there a better way to do this?

Thanks.

If you set the background of the grid instead of the columns then the background will cover the entire area.

True, but it also goes the full width of the screen. Beyond 1024 screen size I want the area to be black (page background). This would be on both sides with the content centered.

I can achieve this by adding padding to the object, or transparent horizontal line to the column.

It would be nice to have the column background cover the same area within the column as seen in the design mode. It seems to me that the object defines the background coverage of the column when setting column background.

Wishlist maybe?

You can add a minus - before the max width value to limit the background.

Perfect.

Thanks.
