Theme OptionsTable of Contents ↑

Theme options are controlled from the theme customizer panel. Once finished installing the theme, be sure to review the options available by navigating to “Appearance” > “Customize”.

ImagesTable of Contents ↑

• Portfolio: The portfolio doesn’t require images to be a certain size. The thumbnail simply shrinks the full size image to fit that space, and then displays the full size image in the window.
• Blog: The blog thumbnails are 190x190. If the image is larger than these dimensions, a panning animation will occur when hovered over. If the image is the exact dimensions, no panning will occur.
• IMPORTANT: make sure you properly prepare images for the web. Otherwise, you may experience long loading times. If you don’t know how to optimize images, check out Yahoo!’s FREE service called smush.it: http://www.smushit.com/ysmush.it/

For posts and pages, the full screen background image is generated from the “Background Image URL “ field (see below).

If neither of these locations have an image, the theme will use the default image specified in the theme settings (see below).
