    Hey! Hm, I think that's probably hard to do. Maybe add your code through a textfield? And use the <> code button in the textfield? :O

    @arminunruh Ah man, this is fantastic. Thanks a lot. This was actually exactly what I needed. Of course the example was a bit exaggerated. Keep it up!

    You mean you want a border around the project title on a mouseover? Sure, u need CSS for that.
    Leanr about css for example here: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Guide/CSS/Getting_started

    You need to find out the right selector for the project title, for example with the chrome inspector.
    https://developer.chrome.com/devtools/docs/dom-and-styles

    Learn about borders here: https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Web/CSS/border
    about hover(mouseover): https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/%3Ahover
    and css transitions: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Guide/CSS/Using_CSS_transitions

    You can enter your CSS in Lay Options -> Misc Options.

    Not possible right now I'm pretty sure. There should be the bar with the title of your website ^^

    Hi!

    You can remove the menu by adding a bit of css in "Custom CSS for Mobile Version" field in "Lay Options" -> "Misc Options".

    .navbar, nav{
    display: none;
    }

    body{
    padding-top: 0!important;
    }

    Hey, yeah that's right. You just need to create a page in "Pages" and then set it as the frontpage in the customizer.

    The slideshow will come as an addon. Right now I'm working on an update for Lay Theme and then I will work on the slideshow addon.

    Hey!

    The controls for project thumbs should show up in the customizer when you navigate to a category in the customizer. If your frontpage is a category, you should see the "featured image" and "project title" controls.

    "/categories/projects". Would prefer just "/projects" if possible.

    Can't change that :(

    Hey bperon, yes there you can find the burger css. But you shouldn't edit this file directly.

    "In general it's not a good idea to overwrite or change any files of the theme. Because all files are overwritten whenever you update Lay Theme."

    You can however add your burger css to the field "Custom CSS for Mobile Version" in "Lay Options" -> "Misc Options". That's fine.

    Hello Søren!
    Thanks, you are welcome :)
    Good question. You can go to "Customize". In the customizer you need to visit your category. Then a control will appear on the left side called "Project Title". There you have all kinds of settings for the project titles!

    Theres no option to hide the project title. I think it's good to actually show the project title so ppl know it's a category layout and theres something clickable. If you want to hide the project title, you could set its position to "on image" and set it's opacity to 0.

    If you really want to hide the project title you can do so with CSS. Go to "Lay Options->Misc Options". Then in the desktop CSS field enter:

    .title{ display:none; }

    Make sure you updated to the latest version 1.027 because there was a little bug with the CSS fields :D

    Hey!
    Even when the column count is 31, all columns and gutters still have a total width of 100%. No overflow ever.
    Since you are not the first one to request this feature, I think I will code this feature in an update. :+1:
    I can't tell you when it's going to come though.

    Hey! I'm happy that you like the theme!

    Well maybe others will have the same questions and look here. So I will just answer your questions anyway :alien:

    You can customize your link appearance in "Customize". In the Customizer you navigate to a page or project. There you will have a control "Links in Texts" on the left side.
    If you want to add your own CSS, please do so in "Lay Options" -> "Misc Options". There you have CSS Text fields. Please don't modify the style.css in the editor area. Because this file gets overwritten everytime there is a Lay Theme update. Your own CSS there could look like this: .text a, .caption a { color: #00f; }

    Well first of all in the texteditor make sure you press Shift + Enter for a linebreak and Enter only for a new paragraph. For good lineheights for all of your texts I recommend you edit the "Default" Textformat or you can create a new Textformat.

    Yes you upload your photos in the highest quality possible. You don't need to upload photos that have a bigger width than 1920px though.
    In the background Lay Theme generates up to 6 different sizes of an image when you upload one. Then on the website it loads the size that fits best for the current pixel size of the image.

    Greetings from Berlin!

Before you post:
  1. When using a WordPress Cache plugin, disable it or clear your cache.
  2. Update Lay Theme and all Lay Theme Addons
  3. Disable all Plugins
  4. Go to Lay Options → Custom CSS & HTML, click "Turn Off All Custom Code", click "Save Changes"

This often solves issues you might run into

When you post:
  1. Post a link to where the problem is
  2. Does the problem happen on Chrome, Firefox, Safari or iPhone or Android?
  3. If the problem is difficult to explain, post screenshots / link to a video to explain it
