Remember when Instagram abandoned the strict square format and allowed your posts to be shared in both portrait and landscape orientation? Neonto’s Native Studio allows you to do the same thing and create Lists with varying Stencil heights. This applies to both text & image, and actually makes working with dynamic, live content a lot easier.

It’s a two-step process.

  1. Make a List (if not sure how, it’s thoroughly explained in this post.) Then, just go to your Stencil screen and…
Drop it down low

2. … throw Expanding Text Field and/or image Elements into Scroll Flow in the Elements list to make their heights adapt to content size.

Protip: If you’re working with images and want their sizes to vary, remember to check the “Always maintain content aspect ratio box” in the Layout tab!

Excellent — now you’ve got Stencil sizes adapting to the content size (whether text or image).
