Can this work for a component in the middle of a screen? It’s showing on the builder side, but not the app. In Builder ![feat.1](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/2X/c/c15e18ac58da7bf6f11fbbdbabd35a0090e06604.png) In App ![feat.2](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/2X/c/c79f496ac3cb90dc2247a4f0b9a7ad42e4bbc67c.png) ![feat.](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/2X/1/1490c486d57a3c3388d7078dc4321607e7475a64.png) ---

@Jen_NYCP when you use `position` in `absolute`, in glide editor it doesn’t show it properly unless you put the rich text as the top of the others, to be the first component in the screen. With this, you gotta also increase your `top` to be in the middle of the screen (for this I suggest you to use `px` and not `%`, because talking about responsability, it will break in some size screens). But I also test it in another browser with inspection view to be sure will be in the right position with other size screens ---

Got it! Thank you! It’s lined up correctly now in the app, but not in the builder or the browser view. It would never display the same in all three correct? ---

No… this only happens in glide editor ---

No, as in it should be the same in all three or different? ---

Thank you so much, tried this in a projects app and worked well for me for most tabs however i have a categories tab with 6 categories and this worked for one of the categories but not for the others…(I mean background for each category) What could i have done wrong? ---

Does anyone know if this on the cards? I saw a comment stating the Glide is clamping down on custom HTML. ---

> [@garrison](#): > > I saw a comment stating the Glide is clamping down on custom HTML. I wouldn’t say this is true. Well, it’s true for the template store - you won’t get an app accepted into the template store that uses CSS. But you’re free to use as much custom CSS/HTML as you like (and lots of us do) for your own apps and those you build for customers, it just isn’t officially supported. As a general rule it’s pretty safe, as long as you don’t start relying on unstable class names with your CSS. ---

Cheers Darren, but I’m trying to avoid custom CSS/HTML as my mission is to build apps for the template store with non-tech savvy end users in mind. [Previous page](https://community.glideapps.com/t/component-background-color/10712.md?page=1)
