Set Color & Typeface

Colour and typography are fundamental to any well designed site. Five3 gives you a front-end Visual Designer to make it fast and fun to choose your site’s colour and typeface.The Visual Designer will help you experiment with different styles and find the look that suits your site.

Using the Visual Designer

Step 0

To access the Visual Designer, you must first have the Admin Bar set to display when viewing your site. To toggle the Admin Bar on and off, visit the Users > Your Profile menu page.

Using the Theme Options Page

If you do not want the Admin Bar showing on your site, you can use the less fun, but equally effective Theme Optionspage.Find the Theme Options page under the Appearance menu in your site’s administration dashboard.

The Theme Options page will only show if you do not have the Admin Bar showing on your site. To keep things simple, Five3 hides this options page when the Admin Bar is set to display.
