Sorry, but the grid widget is buggy and so useless.
If I try to move a column border, the whole widget will move with.
The inserted grid should be fixed and the slider only moves the column border (separator) in the wide or height.
So I can not adjust the grid and it is useless for me (costs too much nerves ;-( )
Hi @Beth
any news?
This widget doesn’t complain with your Design Guide (I’m hoping you use one):
round configuration buttons
different color setting
awful to use (eliminating rows/columns, changing row/column width)
Hi @ChrisF
Sorry to hear your frustration and I totally understand. The team acknowledges the grid widget needs to be improved. We are going to focus on improvements to widget functionality and scalability in the second half of the year so we will plan for any updates to the grid widget then.
Could you clarify what Design Guide you’re referring to?
Thanks,
Yuji
I have no special design guide in mind, but the design guide /style guide includes all important information from the CI and CD and defines the appearance of all elements as a standard/default.
So compare the color selection part from the grid widget and f.e. a text input widget:
different design for selecting a color, circle vs. square button to open this menu etc.pp.
or
at the bottom
at the top
totally different usage, icons, layout, button form (circle/square)…
I’m following. You were referencing the styling properties of the grid widget: looks like that is an outdated panel and indeed the widget developer was most likely different Thanks for clarifying.
The best workaround that I have found: Don’t use grids.
I will make a table in a separate document or spreadsheet with the text and background colors I need, then take a screen snip, paste it into Tulip, and position any input boxes or variables over the picture.
I’ve been frustrated with grids and their lack of usability since the first time I tried using them 5 years ago…
