Hi, I want to align an image and a details view side by side. If I place them within a container and set width, they will be on top and under each other.

If I use without a container and set width, it aligns the elements next to each other, but those will be aligned to far left.

Is there a way to achive this side by side alignment without going full width?

Great questoin @tarina - we plan on addressing this in the next evolution of Containers, coming soon

> Thanks for the feedback @_4N this is actually in the works, we shipped the V1 of containers, which work more like columns as you said, but we plan to add the full support for specifying element widths within containers soon
