    Hi,

    I am/was a Catalyst user to recently moved over to Genesis and the Dynamik Web Builder child-theme. I have Genesis 2.0 RC1 installed on my dev server. I am new and jumping in with both feet, so please forgive me if my questions seem stupid. I did search the forum, but could not find an answer.

    I don't see a layout with just a blank body. No wrap, no header, no sidebars, no footer. So I'm assuming I will need to register one with a code snippet. I can figure out how to do that, however my question is, do I need to provide a thumbnail image for the "Layout Settings", or is the image built from the layout specifications?

    Thanks!

    --Dave

    If the question relates to the Dynamik Web Builder, you would need to post it on their forum.

    No, it's a Genesis issue. When you go to any page or post, you can select an alternate layout from the Genesis tools.

    I know that in order to add additional layouts, I need to add some code to register the new layout. I just don't know if I need to provide an image of the layout for the Genesis menu, or it generates it on its own based on the layout options when I register the new layout.
