It’s a common mistake to think that you can set all components with a single “set” block. You can’t. Try setting a single button’s width to 100% and see if that works. And if it does, you can then use the “all button in” block along with a list block to get the first item in the list of “all button in”. And then use a loop to get all of them. ---

But how do i set one single button to be 100\*\*%\*\* (rather than px - which is default) with blocks view? ---

I was just pointing out a problem with your logic. But I tried myself after that and I don’t think you can set the width of a button by percentage. You used to be able to, I think, by setting the width to any percentage in the button’s properties panel and then using blocks to change it to a different percent. But because there doesn’t seem to be a way to set a button’s width to a percentage in the properties panel any more, I don’t think that method will work. ---

This will set a single button’s width to 100% of the screen width: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/7/b/7b62a98ca83072d905733856d44693da89a720c6.png) (Ignore the screen’s name… it was a demo for someone else) ---

This works for all buttons in a screen: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/8/7/87a77c4fe2639bbbda7c7ab8c36bde3a58105ea3.png) It needs the Wait block because the screen’s Computer Width isn’t available immediately when it opens. It worked for me with a Wait 0 seconds block. But I’d be sure to test it on various devices. ---

And a little PS - Should not the Layout component (Beta) be possible to set to Screen Width and Hight in percentage ? No you can set Rows/Columns and Objects… but i am missing it for the layout it self… ---

I think it’s the width of the device’s screen rather than the Thunkable project screen width. See this: [Get calculated width/height block - #3 by actech](https://community.thunkable.com/t/get-calculated-width-height-block/514243/3) ---
