Core 1.14 is coming in hot with a nice portion of practical improvements to our Multimedia Background modules, a new design for profile lists and a side of bug fixes, yum!
Users can now enjoy more text placement options to the Multimedia Background, no more being limited to just right, left and center! You can now position your content using the following options:
- Top left
- Top middle
- Top right
- Center left
- Center center
- Center right
- Bottom left
- Bottom center
- Bottom right
Improvements
- Added a variety of text placement options to Multimedia Background
- Try republishing pages with Multimedia Backgrounds if you run into any issues
- Updated the design for the profile card module
- Users can use square images if they prefer the original look!
- Updated background videos to turn off if "prefers reduced motion" is set to true to respect accessibility preferences
- Swapped out JavaScript-rendered background videos in multimedia backgrounds for a non-JavaScript solution
- Added a .block-center class to center block elements on pages. It works well in conjunction with “.accessible-max-width" to create a centered block no more than 70 characters wide
- Updated the color of the border within the events modules from gold to blue
- Removed default meta descriptions from the site information block and homepages of new websites. Read Moz’s post on meta descriptions to learn more about the purpose, importance and optimal length of a page’s meta description.
- Removed font dropdown from text editors. Doing the groundwork for this change made updating the editor across all sites a lot easier. Keep an eye out for future enhancements!
