Neurogenesis Styler – Advanced Block Styler

Description

Neurogenesis Styler extends the native Gutenberg blocks with advanced design controls – it does not add new blocks.

This means your site stays incredibly lightweight, fast, and future-proof, while you gain professional-grade styling options directly inside the block editor.

With Neurogenesis Styler, you design using the blocks you already know – headings, paragraphs, groups, columns, images, and more – but with a far richer set of visual tools. No custom blocks, no theme lock-in, no clutter.

Take full creative control with advanced styling features:

Full Typography Control for Pixel-Perfect Readability: Stop fighting with your theme. Gain options for custom fonts, weights, sizes, line heights, letter spacing, and text shadows—all instantly responsive across devices.

Backgrounds That Bring Designs to Life
  Enhance any block with colors, gradients, or images. Layer them together for modern, brand-consistent backgrounds and stunning visual depth.

Borders with Style and Precision
  Add borders and radius controls to native blocks. Define width, style, and color globally or per side with precision.

Pixel-Perfect Spacing Controls (Margins & Padding)
  Banish custom CSS! Effortlessly fine-tune outer margins and inner padding directly in the sidebar for any block across desktop, tablet, and mobile views.

Visual Effects That Add Depth
  Use shadows, transitions, opacity, and z-index layering for polished, interactive layouts that truly stand out.

Flexible Block Sizing
  Control width, height, min/max constraints, and responsive sizing on native blocks for total layout mastery.

Responsive Design Made Simple
  Style blocks differently for desktop, tablet, and mobile – built-in, no extra frameworks required.

Interactive Hover States
  Add life to your designs by applying dynamic hover styles (colors, borders, shadows, and backgrounds) to any block, creating truly engaging user experiences.

Template Editing for Consistency
  Apply the same styling power to templates and template parts for cohesive, site-wide design—perfect for Full Site Editing (FSE) themes.

With Neurogenesis Styler, Gutenberg finally feels complete – empowering you to design modern, responsive websites directly in the editor without adding a single new block.

I like how this plugin extends the block styling controls; it is simple to use, works very well and i am excited for more options. I am already using it on a client website.This is a great tool in my Gutenberg toolkit 🙂

Great plugin to enhance the basic options limited by Gutenberg. As long as it doesn’t cause any conflicts and remains lightweight, I’m happy to have it installed on my sites that use Gutenberg.
