Hello,

Is it possible to change the order (and names) of properties in the property panel?

The order of properties, sometimes not very logical

grid

Thank you for your reply

Hi @JoseFR,
No, changing the order of controls in the panel isn’t possible.
Cheers,

Another question @RobM :
In Tailwind CSS v3, how to configure: for the extend: configurations of the tailwind.config.js, are added in the Pinegrow “properties panel” ?
the “design panel” is far too limited
Because I got this message:

Hi @JoseFR,
You can still extend your Tailwind CSS project through the config file and external build. However, you can’t bring the extended controls into the Tailwind Properties panel. You will have to add the classes of any extended properties manually.
Hope this helps,
Bob

What do you mean by that?

It’s very limited: if: the configuration file, the source CSS, the output CSS are not scanned, it’s not interesting :(, the concept of utility first is precisely to have everything in utility classes (including my classes)

Hi @JoseFR,
I’m not sure I fully understand your response, but I’ll try to clarify mine.
So, with Tailwind CSS v2 you could add to your theme.extend section of your configuration file. You could then click on the wrench icon at the top of the Tailwind CSS properties panel - located here on the right:

This would scan the CSS file and detect any additional rules and add them to the correct dropdown. So the example used in our tutorials is to add a new box-shadow in to the config file:

If you then rebuilt the controls by clicking the wrench it would add “rainbow” into the box shadow controls. Tailwind updated how the compiler works in version 3 and now it isn’t possible to add unused rules to the controls. So now, you have to manually add the shadow-rainbow class to your element. All of the standard Tailwind classes can still be accessed from the Properties panel. Only extra classes added through the Design Panel will be available in the visual controls of the Properties panel.
I hope this makes more sense,
Bob

OK @RobM what you explained is exactly what I understood :frowning:

With Tailwind CSS v3, custom configurations are not usable in Pinegrow’s “property panel” :frowning:

Why not use a prompt where you provide the path to the tailwind.config.js file and then just read the JavaScript for “property panel”, it’s a standard format :slight_smile:
