Today we're announcing a major new feature: Overlays. Plus some minor (but very cool) updates.
Overlays
Overlays is a massive rethink and improvement to the Sidebar.
Before Overlays, you needed a sidebar if you wanted Search, Tags, Title or a List for your map.
This was the old way:

Now with Overlays Title, Tags, Search and List have been broken into individual elements — so you can mix-and-match them to get exactly what you want.
This is the new way:

And of course Overlays can be styled however you want — margins, borders, shadows, colors and more.

Transparency
Alongside Overlays, we're also introducing Transparency — a new style option.
Modals and Overlays can now have a beautiful, modern look with Transparency:

Close Button on Modals
You can now add a Close Button on Modals — just a nice, small improvement that some people have asked for.
