Colorize your Platformate Theme!
Posted on 3 October 08 by Michael Hutagalung in Knowledgebase and Tutorials 16 CommentsPlatformate Theme has just been released and made avaiable for sale a day ago. The theme is designed for you who are willing to have unique blog design, a magazine look with personal touch. In one single purchase, you get the unlimited possibility to pick and decide the color scheme of the theme. Here is a very simple tutorial on how to colorize your theme.
There are basically 3 colors applied across the theme: the dark tone, the light tone, and the link hover cover. With these 3 user-definable options, you can get any color you want for your blog.
What should I do?
- Log into your WP Dashboard.
- Activate the Platformate Theme. (you should have done this already, I guess)
- Go to Design >> Platfotmate Options
- In the top-right section of the theme admin panel, you’ll find “Theme Color“.
- Put the codes below to your admin panel, save the settings.
- Visit your blog, refresh the page, and you’ll see your blog in a new color.
Note: The category spoilers colors in the right sidebar must be configured in “Category Color Assignment” in the bottom-left of the admin panel.
