I'm surprised these basic features don't already exist for how advanced and awesome DAKboard is; I also haven't seen them requested, so perhaps I'm overlooking them somehow. The Live Layout feature is great, but we really should be able to specify the size and position of blocks on the screen from within their settings. Also, we should have the ability to select multiple blocks and align them against one another (align top, center vertical, bottom, left, center horizontal, and right).
By way of example, I wanted to display two blocks of the same size occupying the bottom portion of a screen in its near entirety. To do so I have to: (1) snap to grid, (2) approximate the size with a first block, (3) duplicate that block and slide it horizontally, (4) observe how much they overlap, (5) guess where the halfway point of the screen is by how much the blocks are overlapping, (6) adjust the first block to this point, (7) delete the duplication of the first block that is no longer the same size, (8) duplicate the resized first block, (9) slide it over while making sure I don't move the duplicated block up or down. All this, and I'm still not guaranteed that the blocks are equally spaced from the edges of the screen!
FYI, I posted this to Issues 11 days ago, but perhaps I should have posted it here, hence the duplicate post.
