Styles

  • Every element on the default HTML template and generated by controlroom.co has a style
  • Every CSS attribute (fonts, colours, margins etc) can be defined for these elements
  • Variations can be defined for desktop (default), tablet and mobile screen sizes
  • Individual styles override the corresponding default style
    • You can create a new template with only one style attribute variation, or an entirely different layout
  • Navigation elements have a base style definition, then each item (1st, 2nd, 3rd etc) can have it’s own definition
    • For example, you may want the last menu item highlighted with a different colour or border
