Does anyone have experience with scaling a flexbox uniformly/equally in Webflow? I am trying to maintain relative sizes of pictures when viewed in a large window instead of being squeezed towards the end of the desktop view.
To scale a flexbox uniformly/equally in Webflow and maintain the relative sizes of pictures when viewed in a large window, you can follow these steps:
Create a Flexbox container: Start by adding a div block to your Webflow project and setting its display property to flex. This will create a flex container.
Configure flexbox settings: With the flex container selected, go to the Flexbox settings panel in the Styles tab. Here, you can adjust the flex direction, justify content, align items, and other properties to achieve the desired layout.
Set the sizing of flex items: Add the images as child elements inside the flex container. By default, flex items will have their width set to auto, allowing them to grow or shrink to fit the available space. To maintain the relative sizes of the pictures, make sure that the images have a consistent aspect ratio or set their sizing options appropriately.
Use flex-grow property: To ensure that the flex items scale uniformly, you can use the flex-grow property. By setting a value greater than 1 for this property, you can make items expand proportionally to the available space. For example, if you set flex-grow to 1 for each flex item, they will all grow equally. Adjust the value based on the desired scaling effect.
Optionally, set max-width: To prevent the images from being squeezed towards the end of the desktop view when there is ample space, you can set a maximum width for the flex items. This will limit their expansion beyond a certain point. Add a custom class to the flex items, and in the Styles panel, set the max-width property accordingly.
By following these steps, you can ensure that your flexbox scales uniformly and maintains the relative sizes of pictures when viewed in a large window.
