Columns that stay columns

T-Builder 0.9.32 keeps a designed grid as columns in Elementor, lets pictures fill their column as the design did, and makes theme builds safe to repeat. Designs come with real photographs now.

A design made in T-Design, installed on a site and converted, came back with its hero stacked: headline, text, button, then the picture under them. The design had two columns. 0.9.32 fixes what happened in between.

Grid columns are columns

Modern templates lay a hero out with CSS grid, two tracks side by side. The converter sized each child by how wide the browser drew it, and a picture that bleeds past its column draws wider than the column. The two no longer fit, and the second wrapped under the first. The converter now reads the grid's tracks and gives each column its track width, so a two-column hero stays two columns, with the phone stacking it as before.

Pictures fill their column

A picture that filled its box in the design got a pixel width copied from the browser and was then squeezed by Elementor. It now gets width 100% and the box's height with object-fit cover, which is what the design did.

Theme builds that can be repeated

Converting a template builds a theme package from it. Two builds of the same theme close together could empty each other's folder and end in an error. A build holds a lock while it writes and zips, a missing folder is reported in plain words, and the theme is named after the template without its file extension.

Real photographs

Designs made in T-Design come with photographs that match each placeholder's subject, fetched once per account and kept in the Library. When the template is installed on a site, the site fetches them from the account like any other file of the template.
