The largest chapter, because this is where most of the time goes. It follows the order in which the four layers override one another: base, community theme, variables, custom CSS.
The pages of this chapter
- 4.1 – The four layers — who beats whom, and why the tabs are in this order.
- 4.2 – Base: colours and fonts — the nine colours, the three font roles, light and dark, and where the fonts come from.
- 4.3 – Community themes — installing, activating, adjusting, saving as a preset.
- 4.4 – Variables — what a CSS variable is, where its value comes from and what depends on it.
- 4.5 – Custom CSS — the files, their load order, the managed file and the check before the build.
- 4.6 – Layout: frames — building a page’s grid, for three screen widths.
- 4.7 – Layout: arranging components — what appears in which area, where a page type differs, and what it looks like together.
- 4.8 – Plugins — configuring and sorting installed plugins, finding new ones in the marketplace.
- 4.9 – Template packages — handing a design on as a file, and taking on somebody else’s.
