I think I understand the design the functionality of this theme but there are a couple of questions that the online documentation doesn’t explicitly make clear, at least for me. If anyone can answer this, I’d be very appreciative.
1. How does Theme Layout affect imported Headers and Footers? Are the colors and fonts of imported elements independent of the theme layout settings? The way it seems, is that the Theme Layout colors only affect attributes from building a website from scratch? Is this right?
2. If I use a themed template, can I no longer use the Theme Layout to change say, a page?
3. If I import a theme, say Metropolitan Pro. Where exactly are the global colors for active links, hover, and default fonts for that header, pages, and footer? Are they, located in the Manager only if you click on either the header, pages, and footer?
4. Is clicking on the header and footer from any page, truly a global change if you specify in the Manager that the template for that specific header and footer is global? It seems like it is but I don’t want to rely on luck that something I did works globally because I modified something on a page and sure enough, it wasn’t a global change. So, that theory seems to go down the drain.
I sort of have a working site and I’m asking these questions as both a confirmation and precaution for modifying elements. I have seen things happen where elements disappear and get rearranged by accidentally clicking somewhere on the screen. Fortunately, I have been saving often and close without changes when something like that happens. I just don’t want to break something right now that everything seems to be working. I can experiment later on dummy pages to learn the ins and outs.
Thanks and sorry about the noob questions.
Hello!
1. The imported elements comes with their colors and fonts and they don’t affect other elements already there.
2. Please give more details.
3. Yes, the global colors and fonts can be seen in the Website Manager or if they are not set, then there is a setting in the theme panel. In the theme panel, if you access Theme colors -> General theme colors, then there is a setting called ” Theme accent color ” which changes the hyperlink text color and also various other elements which use that color: https://forum.tagdiv.com/theme-colors-introduction/
Please note that the link color for cloud templates can be changed individually on each page from the TagDiv Composer.
4. Yes, you can set a global header and footer for your whole website, also from the Cloud Templates. If you set a global template, then when you modify something in that header, it will appear on every page that use that template. Make sure you do not add any elements in the header zone instead of the content zone.
Thank you!
Thank you for the prompt answer!
