Terracotta is a free skin for the Thesis WordPress Theme that will allow you to instantly transform the look of your Thesis powered site.
The skin features a warm terracotta color scheme and styles for a sharp and unique look with a minimal use of graphics to keep site loading times fast. Also included is an optional header ad class for the use of banners or social media icons in the header area.
Installation Instructions
- Download the skin files which contain the two custom files (custom.css and custom_functions.php) and the background image seen in the header and footer areas.
- Backup your current custom files if you’ve got any customizations you want to save and then upload all the files to your custom folder.
- You need to make a few small changes in your Thesis Options panel for the skin to display properly. In the Design Options panel:
- Choose the Full-width framework.
- Change the Outer Page Padding to 0 (zero).
- Save your changes using the Big Ass Save Button and refresh your site.
- The skin will work with multiple layout options. This demo site uses the following settings in the Thesis Design Panel that you might want to start with.
- 2 Column Layout.
- 600px Main Column Width, 270px Sidebar Width.
