Fixed Column Settings in Horizontal and Vertical Masonry

Fixed Columns for Thumbnail settings: 

Design X offer's two distinctive masonry layout options for displaying thumbnails with fixed columns: Vertical Masonry and Horizontal Masonry. These layouts provide a visually appealing way to present your work.

• Vertical Masonry: This layout aligns thumbnails vertically, allowing for a staggered yet cohesive display of images. Note: for Vertical-masonry, % based gaps are better for fixed column layouts.
• Horizontal Masonry: In this layout, thumbnails are aligned horizontally, offering a seamless row-by-row presentation.

One of the key features of our masonry layouts is the ability to set fixed columns. This setting is crucial for maintaining a consistent look across different screen sizes and orientations. Here's how you can set it up:

2. Set the Number of Columns: You can define the number of columns by setting both the minimum (min-columns) and maximum (max-columns) column parameters for whatever thumbs setting you select. This can be set in your gallery overrides or globally under LAYOUT. (See below for placement):   

Note: For a fixed column layout, ensure that the min-columns and max-columns values are the same. This creates a uniform column structure across different devices and screen sizes. (max-columns) (max-columns)

Gap Settings: When the min-columns and max-columns are identical, the gaps will dynamically adjust as a percentage of the available space, ensuring a consistent and proportional spacing regardless of the screen size.

Mobile Override:

• • If you desire a different column configuration for mobile devices, you can use the mobile override option.
  • This feature allows you to set a distinct number of columns for mobile view, ensuring optimal display on smaller screens.

Percentage Gaps:

• • The application automatically calculates the percentage gap based on the current pixel gap.
  • This ensures a responsive and aesthetically pleasing gap that adjusts proportionally to the screen width.
