Choose from a series of different font
styles to give your site a personal touch. We've
included the fonts Georgia, Helvetica, Helvetica
Neue, Times and Lucida Grande.
Breadcrumb
We've included a couple of breadcrumb
container options in Vanilla, which will help you
personalize your site. You can hide the
breadcrumb trail, or show it, changes its color
or even replace it with a site-wide search.
To use the site-wide search you will need to be sure that your site's base URL is setup in the Site Setup pane. Without doing so, the search feature will not work.
Also note that the search feature uses Google to search your site. Your site must be indexed by Google for this search to return any results.
See-thru
When using graphics on your site there's now no need to match the background color of your graphic to that of the site. Simply save your image as a PNG with a transparent background and place it on your site. The theme will allow for transparent backgrounds in browsers like Safari, FireFox and Internet Explorer 7 that support it natively, as well as the stubborn Internet Explorer 6, which does not natively support these sorts of images.
