  • Customizable Sub-headers: every page, post, portfolio item and WooCommerce product can have a sub-header bar that is capable of displaying a title and description, as well as setting a particular sub-header height and background color or image.
  • 2 Sliders: Normal Slider and Full Width Slider supporting images up to 1920px width and have Video support (YouTube, Vimeo, FLV and MP4). Every page, post, portfolio item and WooCommerce product can have a sub-header slider that is capable of displaying images and/or videos of a specific slider item category or categories. This enables you to add a slider pretty much anywhere you want, be it for showcasing an item of your portfolio, your home page, or even a WooCommerce product if you have the plugin installed.

For example, you can easily set the height of the images in a portfolio template with 4 columns, or the blog detail page, all of this without touching a single line of code or asking for support.
  • Skin Manager: change any color, background image and font of a specific skin. This tool also enables you to create a new skin by copying an existing one, export it and share it, and download more skins that I’ll be adding over time without having to re-download the theme from ThemeForest and update the theme’s files.
  • Fonts Manager: quickly update the Google Web Fonts list of available fonts that the Google Web Font Directory keeps adding and updating, select which font subsets will be included if the current skin is using any Google Web Font and upload new Cufon fonts that you generate.
