Detail your flagship feature in the upper plate card. - Foundation columns. Adapt the three lower columns (01 / Telemetry, 02 / Automation, 03 / Governance) to showcase your supporting technical pillars. Theme behaviourInheritance, fixed decisions and contrast ### What it inherits from your theme - Typeface. Inherits all theme font styles for headings, tags, and body paragraphs. - Palette. Section ground uses base (falling back to white), copy uses contrast (falling back to black). Primary showcase card uses role-plate and role-plate-text. - Rules. Card border and lower column hairlines use role-rule and currentColor. - Spacing. Section padding and internal gutters follow core spacing presets. ### What it decides for itself - Proportion. A full-width 21:9 panoramic focal plate followed by three equal (33.33%) foundation columns. - Typography hierarchy. Section heading on xx-large, spotlight headline on x-large, foundation titles on large, body copy on medium ladder rungs.

Questions ## Feature heroic spotlight: common questions Does Feature heroic spotlight need a plugin? No. It is built only from core WordPress blocks (column, columns, group, heading, image and paragraph), so it pastes into the block editor with nothing to install. Will Feature heroic spotlight match my theme? Yes. It names no colour or font of its own: every colour, size and space is a preset from your theme, so it takes your theme’s palette and type when pasted. Can I use my own images? Yes. Sample images stay in the copied blocks. Replace them in WordPress; pasting does not upload them to your Media Library. Is Feature heroic spotlight free? It is included with a subscription, with every Core Pattern and variation. 62 Core Patterns are free to copy without one. Which WordPress version does it need? Requires a block theme on WordPress 7.0 to 7.1. Classic themes and page builders are outside our supported setup. Adaptive patterns use the block theme’s colour, spacing and typography presets; styled variations declare their own colours or type. 12KB of core-block markup, 6 blocks (column, columns, group, heading, image, paragraph), and nothing else: paste it into the block editor and it becomes editable blocks wearing your theme.

The signature is the margin: the image is a window cut in the page rather than a band across it, and the paper around it is what you notice. A small opaque plate in the picture's bottom-right corner carries the caption, so no type ever sits on the photograph. The still-image version includes an example photograph; select your own clip for the video version. States no colour and no font of its own. (https://patternpaste.com/pattern/hero-aperture.html)How it works First visit to scale What happens at a first appointment, drawn to scale: a bar of the whole appointment split into three solid segments whose widths are each step's share of the minutes, a scale line under it, then the three steps at the same widths, stacking on a tablet and a phone, with a title and a line each, and a closing note with one button. States no colour and no font of its own. (https://patternpaste.com/pattern/first-visit-to-scale.html)Compare Compact comparison rows A mobile-first responsive comparison layout using stacked capability cards: each row pairs a feature title and summary with a side-by-side comparison block, avoiding horizontal table scrolling on small screens. States no colour and no font of its own. (https://patternpaste.com/pattern/compare-compact-rows.html) #### Before you paste Requires a block theme on WordPress 7.0 to 7.1.
