IF YOU USE (OR PLAN TO USE) THIS THEME…
Total is one of the most customizable themes out there. It allows you to set three header styles and extensively customize header, footer, links, fonts, colors and boxed backgrounds… So can CSS Hero add any customizations to the Total theme? You bet it can. Even more, Total + CSS Hero will let you enjoy the complete WYSIWYG experience and supercharge your creativity.
Here’s how CSS Hero can help you Customize the Total theme:
- Because Total is Visual Composer-based, you can enjoy a deeper level of customization by applying custom classes to elements. Once an element is provided with a custom class, you can use CSS Hero to style it differently from the other elements of the same type, which comes in handy when you want to make a certain section of the page stand out. You can read more and watch a video on defining and styling a custom class on this page.
- Another one tip: If you’re going to use sample demos included in Total Theme, remember to delete the inline style!
- With CSS Hero, you can change CSS background image on the Total Theme and build background fades or apply Readymade pattern and image backgrounds with one click. You can pick from hundreds of styles – just make sure you have CSS Hero 2.0 since earlier versions don’t include the Readymade Styles feature.
- CSS Hero enables you to create more advanced hover status customizations.
- Deeply customize sliders.
- Easily copy and paste element styles with CSS Hero – this feature is a real time-saver!
- Take the responsive design even further and customize the way any and all elements look on mobile devices with CSS Hero Responsive Editor Tool.
- Edit CSS properties of any elements within widgets, call-to-action blocks, tabbed or graphic elements. Although Visual Composer presents you with plenty of building blocks, the elements inside these blocks often cannot be customized with Visual Composer. That’s where CSS Hero takes over so you can make the elements blend in or stand out depending on your needs.
