[Resolved] Grey block backgrounds extending to edge of screen

[Amiria]

Hi there,

Is there a way to make it so that individual blocks on posts/pages (or perhaps containers on those posts/pages) have a grey background that extends to the edge of the screen?

I can see how to add a background color to individual blocks, but wish to extend the width full screen (and also add padding at top/bottom).

Is there an easy way to do this?

Thanks!

Hi there,

Try setting the content container to full width:

Then I would recommend using GenerateBlocks’ container block to build the desired layout:

Let me know if this helps 🙂

Thanks Leo. I can’t see the option to change the content container to full width. Can only see a container width option, in pixels?

Hi Amiria,

That setting can be found in a Page’s settings.
