Short introduction & general questions

Hello and kind regards from Switzerland.

As this is my first post let me introduce myself a bit. First of all: I am not a native speaker so please excuse any strange or humble expression, please!

I am not a designer or whatever (in fact I am just a litte tram driver…), I am not earning anything with my little approaches to web design where I did my first steps with “GoLive” in the early 90s. Remember that program? Everything is for “fun”. For many years I have been working on and at WordPress themes, since 2019 I am running my own blog at https://derstreuner.ch . Now I want to create a new blog already registered within a brand new domain: “.swiss”. Again I want to use WordPress but many things are new to me. I never used Gutenberg or Elementor or alike before. Most of the changes in other themes I managed via custom CSS or direct coding. Now I want to design my own theme (maybe offering that one later on) with Blocs Plus. I do have fundamental knowledge in DTP, image editing and else, but nearly no knowledge in Blocs and it’s basics. I am learning by doing and by watching several tutorials in my spare time. So for now my first questions about Blocs are of very fundamental nature. Although investigating about following aspects I did not find exactly, what I am interested about. And I am sure this is not going to be my only post within this community. So for now:

  1. One of the aspects I’ve been investigating in is the rotation from portrait to landscape view. To be more exact: Is it possible within Blocs to place elements on a future blog or static WordPress page that change position if the according device is turned into landscape or portrait view?

  2. Is ist possible to define a different background image for dark and light mode?

  3. Typical “Swiss” Design strongly depends on asymmetric placing of elements. Is it possible to arrange elements of whatever kind within blocs on a page accordingly that change size and position whenever the resulting page size is changed or if the used device is turned from landscape to portrait and vice versa?

  4. As I am using Tumult’s Hype 5 for some years by now I would like to know if it is possible to integrate animations from that program directly within Blocs or if I still will have to use Hype’s WordPress plugin later on while editing new blog posts?

As said these are very basic and major questions, no need for dedicated code examples and else yet. A simple “yes” or “no” or “well, somehow…” would be enough. I am asking this now in order to do some pre-planning before actually making my first steps with Blocs. Be assured: Later on there might and will be more questions coming.

Nevertheless: Many thanks for any possible reply in advance!
