Good to know

Fair questions.

Corner marks are a Grinner upgrade to Group and Columns. Small plus signs, brackets, dots or asterisks sit on a section’s corners, half outside by default. Use them to give a card or section a crisp, technical frame.

At inset 0, a block that clips its content, such as a rounded card, cuts the overhang. Raise the inset to bring them in.

Not on sections. For moving marks, use Button corner marks on a button.

No. The page never scrolls sideways because of them.

Any palette color, or the border color if you leave it empty.

Pairs well with

Try it with these.

Small labels and numbers pinned to a box’s corners.

Dashed and dotted borders, or a gradient ring that slowly turns.

Crop-mark corners around a button that slide on hover.
