Note: To apply any of these changes, you must be the Site Owner
When you create a site, you are asked to choose a theme. A theme puts certain proportions onto the layout (e.g. the distance between the horizontal navigation bar and the page content), and it also comes with default styles, like fonts, font colours, and background images.
You can change the theme of your site, and customise fonts, colours, images etc. as long as you are a site owner.
Use the More button (shaped like a cog/wheel) and go to Manage Site, and then choose Themes, Colors, and Fonts (see Fig 1)
Use the Base theme menu to choose your theme (see Fig 2)
Use the Clear all customizations option to revert to the theme’s original state
You can change the default style of your fonts in terms of size, colour and font face. You can change the style for the entire site, or only for certain types of text, like Site Title, Page Text and Headings.
To change a default font style, use the More button (shaped like a cog/wheel) and go to Manage Site, and then choose Themes, Colors, and Fonts (see Fig 3)
Select the area of the site you’d like to affect (e.g. Content area)
Select the type of text you’d like to alter (e.g. Text)
Use the options for Font, Size and Color to customise your text
With Headers, you can specify the style for Headers (default), or you can adjust Headers (H2), Headers (H3), Headers (H4) independently
Note: if you customise Text in the Entire page section, this will override all other text customisations
Note: there is no way to customise the Horizontal navigation Dropdown Text Size except for customising the Entire page - Text option
Background Images and Colours
You can set the backgrounds of various parts of the website, including the entire page, the content area, and the site header, to be a particular image or colour.
To access these settings, use the more button (gear/cog) and choose Manage Site, then go to Themes, Colors and Fonts
To change the background image/colour, go to Entire page and Background. Here you can change the background to an image or a colour by using the various options.
To use an image, use the image button (See Fig 4) and upload an image file. You can then choose its alignment, whether or not the image is repeated (useful for patterns) and more using the Options menu
