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.

Wix Studio News
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.
Kickstart app development on Wix Blocks with 50+ widget templates
Get a head start on app development with over 50 customizable templates on Blocks. Equipped with panels & configurations, multiple states, and built-in code, you can skip the groundwork and jump into customization. Whether selling apps or repurposing for future use, just click ‘Add Widget’ in your Blocks editor to try it out.
A new and improved Site Styles panel
Now, Colors, Typography, Page Transitions and the newly added Max Width are streamlined into a sleek and intuitive menu that’s easier to navigate and doesn’t block your view of the Editor as you work.
In Typography, the Apply button has been removed, so any changes you make to fonts or sizing take effect instantly.
We’re also rolling out text capitalization transforms for text - making it easier to apply Uppercase, Title Case and Lowercase on text
