I'm with you here. I've essentially turned off the grid for all of my designs as a result.

My other gripe with the grid is that the gutters are only able to be set in %. Type size isn't set in %, the gaps between blocks of text shouldn't be either.

That would do the trick but it's a little bit a shame that the grid is than almost useless while the grid is one off the powerfull options in Reflow.

I also miss some CSS options like background-size: cover; for example.

The easiest way to do this is to make the current container 100% and then just have the two outside columns represent the outside space you want to have. They start stacking your own containers in there. The grid in Reflow is most like a guide so it doesn't matter too much if you have those extra columns on the side if you are adding your own containers.

Hope that helps and thanks for using Reflow!

Create box outside container / multiple containers

Is it possible to create an container outside the default container? I want to create an container Boostrap style (width: 1170px) but with an full width header and footer. What about designing one-page sites? Is this possible? Like:

[full width header with menu in container]

[fullscreen image]

[centered text]

[full width image]

[two columns]

[full width footer]
