Where to change each part of Auno - Auno
Auno keeps every design value in Styles and every behavior the Site Editor cannot hold in the Customizer. Everything else is a block, a template or a field on a project. This page is the map.
#The map
| You want to change | Where |
|---|---|
| Colors, fonts, text sizes, spacing, widths, corner radius | AppearanceEditorStyles, see colors, fonts and layout |
| The look of one block (a list row, a card, a cover) | The block's Styles panel, see block styles |
| The header, the footer, the mobile menu | Template parts, at AppearanceEditorPatterns under All template parts |
| The layout of the blog, a post, an archive or a project | Templates, at AppearanceEditorTemplates |
| The menu | AppearanceEditorNavigation |
| Animations, page transitions, cursor, smooth scroll | AppearanceCustomizeAuno ThemeGeneral, see motion and page transitions |
| The scheme a visitor sees first, the switch in the header | AppearanceCustomizeAuno ThemeColor scheme, see dark and light color schemes |
| The glow above the header and under the footer | AppearanceCustomizeAuno ThemeGlow |
| Background music | AppearanceCustomizeAuno ThemeSound, see glow and background music |
| Every Customizer setting back to its default | AppearanceCustomizeAuno ThemeAdvanced, Reset to defaults |
| How many posts a blog page shows | SettingsReading |
| A project's client, year, timeline, live link and media (Pro) | The project editor, see add a project |
| How a grid shows video and gallery projects (Pro) | The Project videos and Project galleries panels of the grid's Post Template block |
| How one block appears as it scrolls into view (Pro) | The Reveal panel in the block's settings |
| License, integrations, demo import | The theme dashboard: the Auno Pro menu in the admin sidebar. The free theme from wordpress.org opens it from AppearanceAuno Theme instead |
#Why two places for settings
A block theme describes its design in theme.json, and WordPress gives that file a full editor in Styles. Behavior, such as how one page gives way to the next, has no place in theme.json, so Auno keeps it in the Customizer under its own panel. The split means you never look for a color in the Customizer: if it changes how the site looks, it is in Styles. Where colors and fonts went explains Styles in general.
#Questions
The Customizer also lists Colors and Menus
WordPress adds those sections to every Customizer. In Auno, Colors is empty, because colors live in Styles, and Menus shows no locations, because the menu is the Navigation block edited at AppearanceEditorNavigation. The Auno Theme panel holds everything the theme adds.
Some settings show up in the Customizer and some do not
Settings that depend on another one hide while it is off: Smoothness hides when Smooth scroll is off, the glow shape and color hide with their glow, and the music settings hide when Music toggle is off.
I changed a template and an update did not change it
A template saved in the Site Editor is kept in the database and replaces the theme's file. See a theme update did not change a template I edited.
The dashboard moved from the admin menu to Appearance
That is the free theme from wordpress.org, which may add only one page under Appearance. Activate Auno Pro and the dashboard returns to its own menu.
