If a region isn't in use, meaning it doesn't have any active or disabled blocks, we'll keep its settings out of sight to keep things simple & tidy

Problem/Motivation

While watching all how to video's - I have run into issues that are confusing. In more than one instance, following along with the video on a test site doesn't give the same result.
One video describes top container and bottom container. Neither of these are available in my theme and/or subtheme. I learned that adding a couple blocks of content, into these regions, brings the 'settings' for the regions to be available like the video.
I think this was by design. Listening to the audio, with 1 block added to the first top container, the width is 100% and unnecessary. however, you loose the ability to round or animate the edge. Also - not seeing the region settings even with 0 or 1 block is very confusing!
This behavior of not showing up also happened to me in Welcome text, Popup Login and Fixed Search settings page - I thought my installation was broken!

Steps to reproduce

remove blocks from layout for Top, Bottom, Welcome, Login and/or Search. Open Settings page for Solo, or Solo Subtheme (or custom Subtheme). The options for setting these regions do not appear.

Proposed resolution

Allow all unfilled regions in settings page to be empty, but still show in Settings.

    Hello,

    The theme is crafted with a thoughtful design approach. If a region isn't in use, we tuck away its settings to keep things neat and tidy. You'll find a handy description right at the top of the theme's homepage.

    Intelligent Design
    One of the key features of this theme is its intelligent design. If a region is not being used, its settings will be hidden. This helps to keep the theme's interface clean and uncluttered, making it easier for you to find and adjust the settings you need.

    I've put together a comprehensive overview there, so you can dive into using Solo with clarity and confidence. Plus, when you head over to the Solo settings page, there's a friendly note explaining the regions in more detail. It's all set up to help you get started smoothly!

    "you loose the ability to round or animate the edge. Also - not seeing the region settings even with 0 or 1 block is very confusing!"
    The round option is a special feature that's available exclusively for grouped regions. If a region is completely empty, the settings won't show up. This keeps everything streamlined and user-friendly!

    Best wishes,
    Alaa
