  <div>content</div>
</app-drawer-layout>

  <div>content</div>
</app-header-layout>

  <img background ...>
</app-box>

2.0

<app-box effects="...">
  <img slot="background" ...>
</app-box>

In app-drawer-layout, the drawer-toggle element needs to be manually hidden when app-drawer-layout is not in narrow layout. To add this, add the following CSS rule where app-drawer-layout is used:
```
app-drawer-layout:not([narrow]) [drawer-toggle] {
  display: none;
}
```
In app-drawer-layout, if you specify a value for --app-drawer-width, that value must be accessible by both app-drawer and app-drawer-layout. This can be done by defining the value on the :host that contains (or html if outside a shadow root):
```
:host {
  --app-drawer-width: 300px;
}
```
app-scrollpos-control has been removed from App Layout in favor of using multiple scrolling regions to preserve the scroll position. In terms of UX, document.rootScroller is a new web platform API that will allow non-document scroll to hide the address bar on mobile.
