    with bg.card_section():
        bg.label("Content")

Responsive Design

# Overflow prevention with proper flex utilities
with bg.row() as grid:
    grid.classes("q-gutter-md wrap")  # Prevents overflow
    with bg.card() as card:
        card.classes("col-12 col-sm-6 col-md-4")  # Responsive breakpoints

Material Design Integration

# Full Material Design icon support
bg.icon("home", size="2rem", color="primary")
bg.image("https://example.com/image.jpg").classes("rounded-lg full-width")
