On this page

This release contains 60+ changes. A lot of bug fixes, improvements, and some major new features.

Another 1000+ upvotes feature request just made it into Bricks: CSS-class-based styling

Starting at Bricks 1.3.5 you can now create & manage your own CSS classes right inside the builder, define your styles for any class visually (as you’d do when editing an element), and then assign it to any element, anywhere on your site.

We’ve also completely overhauled the old & limiting “Hover Style” functionality. You can now create & manage your own element states (using pseudo-classes) and also styles specific parts of an element (like the first letter or line) using pseudo-elements.
