Labels that sit on the border. Real gaps, not background tricks.

Notch is a bordered content frame for Stacks App. Drop a label, heading or image anywhere on the border and Notch cuts a clean gap around it with clip-path. No matching background colors. No hacks. It works over photos, gradients and textures because the gap is real.

Notch measures each label in the browser, including rotation and ornament widths, then cuts a precise polygon out of the border itself. The line stops, the label sits in the gap and the line resumes. Put the frame over anything you want.

Four stacks, one system

  • Notch

    The frame. Solid or gradient borders, per-corner rounding, per-side padding, five background types, shadows and margins.

  • Notch Item

    The label. Text or image, on any side, at any position, with anchoring, rotation, ornaments, its own background and an optional link.

  • Notch Section

    Equal-height rows across cards. Give each card the same sections and matching sections stay the same height across the row. Headers line up, footers line up, no manual height fiddling.

  • Notch Cover

    A full-bleed image or color band pinned to the top or bottom of the frame. It runs edge to edge, clips to your corner rounding and sits behind the border labels. Instant card headers.

Built for real layouts

Labels go anywhere

Top, right, bottom or left. Slide the position from corner to corner. Rotate for vertical labels along the sides. Add as many items as you need; notches on the same side merge automatically so they never collide.

Ornaments

Flank a label with dots, diamonds, triangles, any character or emoji, or your own images. Left and right ornaments are styled independently, so an arrow on one side and a dot on the other is two clicks.

Backgrounds everywhere

The frame, every label and the cover all take the same five fills: none, color, local image, warehouse image or gradient. Image fills get fit and focus controls, a blur slider and a color overlay for readable text over busy photos.

Made for CMS content

Every color control has a manual mode that accepts any CSS value or a Total CMS 3 macro. Warehouse images use the standard link picker, so CMS image macros work too. Anchor labels to the right and repeated items with different title lengths all end at the same point on the border.

Clickable labels

Set a label to link mode for a normal link, or action mode to add a custom attribute like data-fslightbox. Your border labels can open lightboxes and modals without a line of code.

It stays out of your way

Labels that poke inward push the content padding out automatically. Labels that poke outward reserve margin, and that margin is equalized across sibling cards so rows stay aligned. Semantic heading tags (h1 to h6) on text labels keep your SEO intact.

What people build with it

Pricing cards with the plan name cut into the border. Team grids with a photo cover and a title on the frame. Feature callouts with vertical labels down the side. CMS-driven card layouts where every title, color and image comes from Total CMS. If a design calls for a label on a border, Notch is the whole job.

Common questions

<>

Does it work over image backgrounds?

Yes. The notch is a real gap cut with clip-path, so whatever sits behind the frame shows through. That is the point of the stack.

Do I need Total CMS?

No. Notch works fine with static content. The CMS hooks are there when you want them.

Can I use it without a visible border?

Yes. Set the border width to 0 and keep the backgrounds, covers, equal-height sections and positioned labels.

How do updates work?

Updates appear in your Stacks library automatically. Buy once, stay current.

Put your labels where the design wants them

Stop faking it with background colors. Cut the border for real.
