Pearl-2 User Guide Resize and position items using percents or pixels
Example 2: vertical positioning using pixels
To position your layout item along the vertical axis, enter a percent or pixel value into either the top or the
bottom adjustment box to shift your layout item downward or upward, respectively.
For example, using pixels to move a layout item that is set to 756px in height to the top of the
layout while leaving a small margin of background (say 25px), you could either enter "25px" into
the top percent box (to specify the small margin from the top down) or enter 27% into the
bottom percent box (to specify a 27% margin from the bottom up – added to the item's 70%
height this leaves a 3% margin above your layout item.)
You can manipulate elements to get the custom look that you want using percents, pixels, your keyboard, or
any combination. Here's an example of using pixels and percents to created a custom layout with two video
sources and a background image.
