Roundup: New Site Styles panel (rolling out) & drag and resize padding on the Studio canvas

We’re beginning to roll out a new and improved Site Styles panel, along with text capitalization transforms for text - making it easier to apply Uppercase, Title Case and Lowercase on text.

You can now also drag and resize padding directly on the Studio canvas, and we’ve brought you 50+ widget templates to kickstart app creation with Wix Blocks.

Drag and resize padding directly on the canvas

Spacing your elements just got smoother. You can now intuitively set and resize padding on the canvas by dragging it. Work on one side at a time, or hold down Shift + arrow up, down, left or right to adjust the padding on multiple sides at the same time.

You can also hold Shift + Command/Ctrl to drag the padding on all 4 sides at once. For even more precise control, you can set explicit values as usual.

Anything you’re hoping for?


We got you :muscle:

Genuinely curious, when are you guys going to start focusing on making the CMS functional? It’s still missing soooo much of what is absolutely essential to make it work. Dropdowns, colors, email fields, phone number fields, pagination… these aren’t “nice to haves,” it makes it literally impossible to build a basic blog, form, or product list without them.

Wix is an 8 billion dollar company, where’s the money going?
