blank project title and hover addon on project images

[em]

Hi everyone and apologies if these questions have been answered already.
First off, I love Lay Theme, thank you Armin! It's so simple, beautiful and easy to use.

I am currently trying to build a website that uses mostly images and handwritten text as navigation. Therefor, I would like to use only images to link to my projects and to have the project title blank.
Is this possible? How do I do this?

Can I also use png files in the menus?

Also, I would like to use the hover effect on an image rather than on text. Can I do this? (I haven't gotten the addon yet, wanted to make sure this was possible beforehand).

Thank you for your help!

Dear @em

Q1

This is possible , removing the site-title can be done via:

Customize > Site Title > Site Title > Hide

Q2

Can I also use png files in the menus?

A little bit more tricky but possible - would have to do a little custom coding - maybe better to create a Footer or Gridder Layout with png's and then make it into a "fake menu' if you will.

Possible but requires a little more coding - here are two link's with the basic ideas surrounding that:

@Richard actually, one thing that might have been a misunderstanding, I'm trying to hide project titles rather than the site title - would you know if that is also possible?

Thank you so much for your help!

@Richard sorry, I'm daft, turning project titles off works exactly the same way as you described!

No worries, sometimes can be misleading! 🌝
