V8: How to make screen wide strip

I found a way but it’s a pain in the *** to set up:

  • add a layout to a page
  • add another layout into the 1st layout
  • add a block to the 2nd layout
  • try to select the 1st layout (this is the first pain)
  • edit the 1st layout design and set its template to Paralax, change its background to either image or color, save it
  • if you want to change anything in the 1st layout after saving it - good luck selecting it

But if you manage the above, it actually makes a screen wide strip with a block contained within the Main area. If you want the block to be full screen as well, then don’t add the 2nd layout and disable the 1st layout grid container.

I thought there would be an easier way of setting up screen wide strips.
