For the life of me I’m trying to understand how to work the responsive settings. > **[Bubble Editor - testingapplication604](https://bubble.io/page?type=page&name=test_index&id=testingapplication604&tab=tabs-1)** > > Build stuff without code and launch a startup without a tech-cofounder! Bubble is a visual programing language. Instead of typing code, use a visual editor to build applications. I try and explain box margins but everything is at 0px and nothing is identified. What is the white space (index) here and how can i adjust them and get rid of them? ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/bubble/original/2X/1/1949cb1b3ed94d3099bdeb57971e0086048147a9.png) ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/bubble/original/2X/b/bf617cd655805bb63f0d7e9a31c329af25ad2efb.png) ---

As with most things of this nature, it’s really hard to tell without a link to the editor. Could you share or copy the page to the forum app? ---

Bubble is a visual programing language. Instead of typing code, use a visual editor to build applications. Is the page. As you can see it’s jarbling up as it’s moving and I cant quite figure out what’s causing it. Driving me nuts! 🙂 ---

I think its because the text is too long. I’m having a similar issue, and depending on how tall the text is, the bg element stretches horizontally. Have yet to find a solution to this, so I’ll be tracking this. ---

How can the text shrink as the page shrinks? This should be standard. On a smaller screen the text does not shrink in size and it’s very large when on a mobile device. If this is what’s causing this issue I can’t find any solution. If anyone knows what’s going on please advise. ---

@JustinC have a look at the conditional formatting I’ve done on the two text elements and see what impact it has in responsive ---

Didn’t think of that! I also read here: [A group of three text elements inside 3 groups not collapsing](http://forum.bubble.io/t/a-group-of-three-text-elements-inside-3-groups-not-collapsing/3417) and it seems that when you’re designing elements to go side by side, group them into two different groups (left and a right) and then add your Element inside of those groups. If those groups are fixed width they will move on top of one another I assume? Is this the best approach for designing to group side by side elements into their own seperate groups and fix the container width? ---

Justin, instead of using the responsive engine, decide what your primary user is going to be using then scale it off of that. I stick with 480 pixels personally because it scales nicely on desktop as well as mobile. The responsive engine is REALLY cool, but don’t make it your focal point. ---

So you’re saying start of in the UI builder with a max width of 480 to have it render OK on desktop or mobile? ---

That’s the way I would do it personally. Is it designed to be a Web page or an app? Both? Don’t jump straight into a product you that is exceedingly complex. Start with basic functionality and format, then expand. ---

I always keep 360 in mind. That’s the width of the Galaxy S7
