REGIONS AND BLOCKS

Deco offers the following regions:

Default region, a large sidebar on the right side.
|

|
| 31 |

|
| 32 |

|
| 34 |
sidebar it will be rendered as a large right sidebar.
|
| 35 |

|
| 37 |
the site's width and have large white type.

Just above the regular content.

CUSTOMIZING
|
| 71 |
|
| 72 |
Own logo:
|
| 73 |
If you want your own logo or slogan in stead of the default one you can change
|
| 74 |
this in the theme's configuration page. Please see the theme admin page for
|
| 75 |
this.
|
| 76 |
|
| 77 |
Logo based on default logo:
|
| 78 |
If you want to use the brown background of the default logo you can use the PSD
|
| 79 |
file in designs/logo.psd. Open this file in photoshop, remove/add/edit the
|
| 80 |
necessary layers and use the "save for web" feature to save the logo.png slice
|
| 81 |
as an 8-bit transparent PNG with #1D1D1D as matte color.
|
| 82 |
|
| 83 |
Editing images:
|
| 84 |
In the designs directory you will find a slices.psd file and a psd direcory. The
|
| 85 |
slices.psd file is used to generate all the deco images from. Each image slice
|
| 86 |
is an actual image used in the theme.
|
| 87 |
The psd directory contains the actual designs from which the slices.psd file is
|
| 88 |
made. Please note that not all designs were included because of size
|
| 89 |
constraints.
|
| 90 |
|
| 91 |
Recoloring:
|
| 92 |
Right now Deco has no recoloring support. This will be supported in the near
|
| 93 |
future.
