If no widgets are placed in a position, the entire area or row will not appear or collapse.

There are times when you just don't want to have your widgets taking up all the room in a horizontal row no matter what the layout. For example you might want to have a widget on the left and a widget on the right, with nothing in the middle.

This is made easy with Gantry with the Force Positions parameter for each layout, allowing you to set the count to a specific row number, such as 4, even if 4 widgets are not published for that row.

There are Gizmos that are injected into a site when enabled, and are stacked vertically; which includes: Google Analytics, Page Suffix, Smart Load Images, Typography Shortcodes, Page Class Suffix, RokStyle, Disable Auto Paragraphs and IE7 Redirect.

Configure at Admin Dashboard → Cerulean Theme, then go to Layouts to set the grid widths and allocated positions.

By default, each grid is given an equal distribution, but this can be modified to a custom distribution between widgets, such as 3/4/5 instead of 4/4/4. These options are available for when 2-6 widgets are present.
