The change of Feature Color changes the general feeling of site, while affecting a lot of its elements:

  • Cards (Blog Posts, Projects, Related Posts & Projects, Album Items)
  • Shortcodes (Team member, Separator)
  • Buttons (Contact forms, Comment button)
  • Error 404 Page

Typography

This section allows you to set up typography properties for different elements on your site, which is essential for achieving a consistent design. The following options are available:

  • Google Fonts — beyond the theme’s default fonts, you can add anytime a new Google Font to the site fonts list.
  • Headings — it affects all the titles of your site (titles of Posts, Projects, Pages, titles of Blog Posts, Projects, Related Posts, Related Projects, Album Items etc), including those inserted via WordPress Editor. The following options are available:
    • Font family
  • Body text — it affects the text of your site, including that inserted via WordPress Editor. The following options are available:
    • Font family
    • Font size
    • Line height
  • Site Header navigation — it affects the items of Site main navigation or Site Header. The following options are available:
    • Font family

Keep in mind   Examples of how to insert a Google Font in Theme Options field: Roboto:100,100i,300,300i,400,400i,500,500i,700,700i,900,900i or Ubuntu+Mono:400,400i,700.

When adding a new Google Font, you should follow the next steps.

Go to Google Fonts directory, type the Google Font you want to use in the Search Box — for example: Fira Sans, click on the Select this font button.

Enter the window appeared at the bottom of the page, go to Customize, select the font styles you need, also the Languages (in case your language has specific characters, like Polish or Czech languages have, for example), then navigate to Embed, copy just a part of the link — for example: Exo+2:400,400i,700,700i.

Go back to your Theme Dashboard, in Theme Options → General → Typography — you will find Google Fonts input box; paste here what you copied before and click Add font; after a few time, you will see Font was added. See font family dropdown-lists.

Keep in mind   Avoid adding all the font-weights (100, 100i, 300, 300i etc) if you know you will not use even half of them, because each font-weight added increases the site load time. For example, in case you know you will use just Regular (400, 400i) and Bold (700, 700i), then you could add Roboto font by this way:  Roboto:400,400i,700,700i

Custom Code

Advanced users can enter their custom JavaScript code here. Entered code will be executed on domready. The following options are available:

  • JavaScript Header  — this code will be added in the <head> section
  • JavaScript Footer — this code will be added right before </body> tag

Miscellaneous

This section helps you to control site options that are different from each other by their functionality. Here, you also are able to reset all the Theme Options offered by your Theme. The following options are available:

  • Site loading animation  — site could load differently, by choosing the right loading animation
  • Parallax speed — parallax is a special smooth scrolling effect that could be apllied on site specific elements (like Google Map, Row shortcode). So, decide how fast the “parallaxed” items will move, by choosing a specific speed: from 1 to 6. But rememeber to drive safely!
  • Scroll Top button  — it appears at the bottom of browser window and, if clicked, it leads you to the top of page
  • Reset Theme Options  — it resets all the custom Theme Options offered by your theme to default values. So, all the options from the following Sections will be reset: Layout, General, Header, Content, Footer.
