I installed the Craft Idea demos with just the settings. I’ve been tinkering with it to make edits the way I want my page to look but I’m stymied in a few places. The demo has that top main header background as a yellow color and I can’t find where to change it even after looking through theme colors which is where I thought it would be. I’d like to make it either red or perhaps try inserting an image there that could stretch across the entire background. Also in the footer section, I input my e-mail address in the field but there’s an About Me section above it which I can’t find how to change. (There was some about me text from the demo which I deleted since I already have an About Me page and not sure I want to have a tiny blurb down there about myself as well.) As for my recent blog posts that are being displayed, I’m curious if I can change the way the preview post text is formatted. Right now it’s center justified and I’m thinking about doing full justification but I can’t figure out how to change that as well. My homepage shows the latest posts so I’m not using a static page so I don’t have an actual specific home page.
I have since created a static home page so don’t need the preview post text question answered anymore but still need to know how to modify header and footer. Also my sidebar widgets went away (switched to a big grid for my home page) and was trying to recreate my sidebar again. Tried adding a column to right of big grid but didn’t see a tag cloud element I could add like I had on my homepage originally, so how do I do that as well?
Hi,
The header background color can be changed to your linking in the theme panel
– https://www.screencast.com/t/imbQN5KP
The craft demo uses header style 11, it has a logo image and a background
– https://www.screencast.com/t/w7hHOhNcmWwn
However a thing to note is that header style 9,10, and 11 do not have a limit for the logo image size. You can use any image you want

This demo would be an example of a full width big logo

Regarding the footer section, there are many templates to choose from
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/footer-templates/
Some have predefined content, others are empty templates in which you can insert your desired widgets.
The demo used footer template 14, enter your own information in the theme panel and it will appear in the footer

Or select a different page template of your choosing.
I believe you are referring to the excerpts displayed on modules (center aligned)
– https://www.screencast.com/t/RXiC4JzrN
Those could be justified with a code like this entered in Theme panel->Custom CSS
– https://www.screencast.com/t/wXUQ91O4RO
.td_module_18 .td-excerpt {
text-align: justify;
}
Rows can be split in columns in the row settings
– https://www.screencast.com/t/DNt18HtVh
You can use widget sidebars if you wish, there is an element for that
– https://www.screencast.com/t/YM3HYouq9x7D
Then you can display sidebars from your available ones.
Big grids and full big grids can only be placed on full rows, a bog grid cannot have a sidebar beside it. Use blocks and other elements for that. These are all the available grids and blocks
