This plugin revolutionizes the Gutenberg editing experience by introducing groundbreaking visible guidelines for blocks . 
These guidelines, seamlessly integrated into the WordPress backend, serve as visual aids that dramatically enhance the readability and organization of blocks. With these clear visual cues, users can effortlessly identify block edges, alignment points, and content boundaries, leading to an unparalleled level of precision and control. This enhanced visual clarity not only simplifies block manipulation but also elevates the overall user experience, making block editing a breeze.
<h3>Context</h3>
Gutenberg is the code name for the new block based editor introduced in WordPress 5. It replaces the classic WordPress editor which is built on TinyMCE.
It is a significant change in how content is created.
With Gutenberg, you can add multiple media types and arrange the layout within the editor using blocks. 
WordPress is changing the editor to make it more approachable to non-coders.
The main problem is that: blocks backend Ui is not as clear and intuitive as it should be.

I tested myself, and lol... I am also the coder behind itself.
But.. hey!

It works and it's also a missing feature that may improve the Blocks Ui, as it may help also color blindness people.

It just works.

It makes it easier to navigate Gutenberg blocks. Fell in love with it. Great work. 



Loved it

A simple plugin that tries making Gutenberg's blocks a friendly tool.

Modern Design Library is a toolkit of opinionated Gutenberg blocks for WordPress. All optional blocks are registered using PHP-only block registration (<code>autoRegister</code>) — no JavaScript build step or Node.js tooling required.
The plugin ships with:
<ul>
<li>Colored Line — a fully customisable horizontal separator block with striped, shade, and dotted style variants (classic JS-registered block).</li>
<li>Advanced Separator (experimental) — a PHP-only separator with configurable width, height, padding, alignment, and three decorative variants.</li>
<li>Advanced Heading (experimental) — 13 decorative heading styles, heading level selector (H1–H6), optional tagline, and full typography/spacing/border block support controls. Accent decorations automatically follow the text colour.</li>
<li>Marquee (experimental) — a single infinitely scrolling text row. Stack multiple blocks for multi-row layouts. Speed (Slow/Medium/Fast) and direction (Left/Right) are configurable. Animation script is loaded lazily — only on pages containing the block.</li>
<li>Call to Action (experimental) — a CTA banner with heading, subheading, button label/URL, three visual variants (Primary/Secondary/Dark), and native colour overrides.</li>
<li>Author Box (experimental) — displays a user card with avatar, bio, email, and LinkedIn link. User is selected from a dropdown. LinkedIn URL is stored as user meta (set on the user’s profile page).</li>
</ul>
Optional blocks are enabled from Settings → Modern Design Library → Modules.
The optional blocks require the Gutenberg plugin or WordPress 7.0+ for the <code>autoRegister</code> block support.
