Hi, just wanted to say I love Newspaper 🙂
Is there any way to add customization to Smart Lists? I would like to be able to add more code for advertisements, as well as change the look/colour/location of the “next” and “back” buttons.
Right now I’m using Smart List template 7 because it most closely represents what I want, BUT:
– The ad code is 468×60, an ad unit that is difficult to monetize
– There are “back” and “next” buttons at the top and bottom of the slide, but I just want them on the bottom
– I’d like to change the “back” and “next” buttons colour/style, etc.
There is also a massive amount of white space under each post/image/slide, and I’d like to try monetize this with more advertising.
Here’s a mockup landing page so you can see what I mean:

Hello,
Unfortunately most of these will require custom implementation and we do not have a customization department. We try to help out where we can though.
For the ad, smartlists have their ad section in the theme panel where you can change the ad size: http://screencast.com/t/HmFIrv0X
Any other ad besides the intended one must be added through hard-coding in this file: http://screencast.com/t/xMvKMrenl
If you want to remove the bottom buttons you can remove them from here: http://screencast.com/t/scJPi3eN
The color style can be changed by adding this css code in the theme panel->custom css box:
.td-smart-list-button{
background-color: red;
}
The hover color is added by the theme accent color.
Again. if you want another ad, the theme ad spots cannot offer only 1 spot. You will have to add them in the theme code by using a do_shortcode function

Thank you!
Thanks very much for your detailed answer! I will go through these and see what I can customize.
Thanks!
