Flexbox Grid

0

Flexbox and CSS Grid are the most popular responsive layout models which are widely supported across platforms and browsers. Our upcoming UB Atoms theme will support by both Flexbox and CSS Grid by default. If Flexbox is disabled, the CSS Grid will be used.

In this post, we’ll take a closer at the Flexbox that UB Atoms does support and learn how it helps distribute and align content in ways that Magento pages need.

A brief introduction about Flexbox

Flexbox -- a shorter term for CSS3 Flexible Box Layout -- is a new layout mode in CSS3. It describes ways to align and size elements including the parent element (the flex container) and the child elements (the flex items).

UB Atoms theme tructure

Last week we introduced a sneak peek of the upcoming Magento 2 theme at Ubertheme -- UB Atoms. We promised you a brand new theme that will be fully revamped, unlike any other Magento 2 themes that Ubertheme has offered. Today, we are happy to introduce you to the structure of the UB Atoms theme that we’re working on.

Update: we’ve just introduced the UB Atoms theme hierarchy that we’re working on here. It is fully revamped, unlike any other Magento 2 themes that Ubertheme has offered

We’re excited to introduce you to a sneak peek of a revolutionary new Magento 2 theme. It’s called UB Atoms.

Inspired by Atomic Design -- a methodology of creating modular designs, UB ‘Atoms’ is designed to be exactly what it sounds like -- establishing the basic building blocks for pages, such as form label, an input or a button, color, typography, grids, and the like, rather than just creating simple collections of web pages.

The theme structure will be fully revamped, unlike any other Magento 2 themes that Ubertheme has offered.
