Improved Text Panel Icons and Canvas Snapping in Builder 2.0
This article describes two Builder 2.0 improvements: clearer icons for line-height and letter-spacing controls in the Text panel, and more predictable canvas snapping when arranging tiles.
Text Panel Icon Updates
The icons for the line-height and letter-spacing controls in the Builder 2.0 Text panel have been updated to be more clearly distinguishable from each other.
|
Control |
What the new icon shows |
|
Line height |
Horizontal lines with a vertical spacing indicator — representing the space between lines of text |
|
Letter spacing |
Characters with a visible gap indicator between them — representing horizontal spacing between individual letters |
Both controls work exactly as before. Only the icons have changed — no functional updates were made to line-height or letter-spacing, and existing microapp configurations are unaffected.
|
Tip: Both controls also have tooltips if you want a quick reminder of what each one does — hover over the icon to see it. |
Improved Canvas Snapping
Canvas snapping in Builder 2.0 now provides more consistent and predictable alignment feedback when moving tiles on the canvas.
What improved:
• Edge snapping — tiles snap to the edges of adjacent tiles and the canvas boundary more reliably, with snap guides appearing at the correct position.
• Center alignment — horizontal and vertical center-to-center snap guides now trigger reliably when a tile's center approaches another tile's or the canvas center axis.
• Snap threshold tuned — snapping now activates only when a tile is meaningfully close to an alignment target, reducing cases where tiles snapped unexpectedly.
• Snap guide visibility — guide lines appear consistently during dragging and disappear cleanly on drop, without leaving visual artifacts on the canvas.
Common Questions
Do I need to change any settings to get the improved snapping behavior?
No — the improved snapping applies automatically. There are no new settings to configure.
Will my existing microapps look different because of the icon changes?
No — the icon updates are visual only and don't affect how line-height or letter-spacing values work. Your existing microapps and their configurations are unchanged.
Can I turn snapping off if I don't want it?
No — canvas snapping cannot be turned off. The improvements in this update are aimed at making snapping behave more predictably and reliably, not at making it optional.
