First export and setting backgrounds
Essential Styles Dash settings for your first export. Using the Background Options Control Panel. Background triggers, modifiers, and overrides. Theme Folders and their default filenames within. Changing default image files, and overriding defaults with other images files.
| Time | Topic |
|---|---|
| 0:16 | Basic set-up: entering a title, subtitle, and About Blurb |
| 1:09 | Set the color and fixity of the navbar |
| 3:00 | Set the webpage background color (don’t worry—it will only appear for pages that use the BKG-COLOR background trigger) |
| 3:28 | Set the “card” color that appears for pages that use the CARD background trigger |
| 4:23 | Do File > Export > as HTML |
| 5:40 | The Templates Tab is also your Background Options Control Panel. Click on it and mosey upwards to BlogTopNote (your Home page). |
| 6:18 | Adding a background trigger for a note changes its background. Here I remove BKG-TEXTURE from the Home page. |
| 6:53 | Change teaser separation from horizontal rule to floating cards with the CARD background trigger. |
| 7:32 | Now add the default webpage background color. This time, we use the pop-up menu in the Key Attribute Table. |
| 8:19 | Now add texture, giving our Home page three triggers at once. |
| 8:57 | Override the default colors, textures, and images (set in the Styles Dash) with other ones. |
| 9:26 | The default textures and images are in your Theme Folders (in the Finder). |
| 12:08 | Appling themes instantly with the Theme Buttons. |
| 13:09 | To export the theme, just export blog-main. |
| 13:39 | Each Theme Folder has some extras. To activate these (rather than the defaults) misname a default image by adding a character or two, and then give one of the extras the proper name. This will change your default texture or image. |
| 14:40 | But you can also override textures and images by referencing other files. Here, we override both default color and default texture. |
| 16:33 | You can view all background trigger options in the pop-up for $bpBkgOpt. (Run the Keys • BKG stamp first.) |
| 16:45 | Apply the BKG-FIXED trigger option. |
