AR5 Users,
AR version 5.0.3.3 is now live, and with it comes our latest and greatest new feature: themes! Themes make implementing new designs simpler than ever, allowing you to control styles on your website through an easy-to-use interface. With the addition of themes to the design controls already available in grids and blocks, you can now create a custom-designed responsive website without ever looking at a line of CSS.
In themes, style options are grouped according to the type of content that they apply to, making them easy to find when you need them. These are content types that are available for styling:
A theme allows you to apply styles to content based on where the content appears on your page. There are 20 page regions available to apply styles to, including “body,” which serves as the default for all the other page regions.
Also included in this release are a couple of theme-related features: fonts, which is an interface for managing the fonts that are available in themes and stylesheets, and icons, which dynamically generates a favicon and Apple touch icons based on an image or images in your library. You can find these, as well as themes, under the “design” menu in your AR5 primary navigation. Learn more about themes on our help site.
Please note that if your site already has a design in place, the stylesheets will need to be updated before you can make use of themes. If you’re interested in using themes on your website but already have styles in place, please contact us for more information.
As always, we thank you for choosing Agency of Record.
Sincerely,
The AR Team
AR5 Users,
The latest update to AR5 is now here, bringing with it a number of improvements to our suite of tools for front-end design. Themes have been expanded to include more types of page content, and you can now create and define custom module styles that you can apply, on the fly, to modules on the page. Let's take a closer look.
These short video tutorials provide an introduction to Agency of Record.
