Banner Widget: website title and subtitle
Open the Banner Widget (dashBannerWidget) to change:
- The banner background color; the banner title (BlogTopNote will change its display name when you do this), font family, font weight, and color.
- The banner subtitle and color; and the shadow properties for the title. (Remove the shadow by setting
$ShadowDistanceto 0.)
This is also the place to activate the BannerImage.png and BannerTexture.png images you have stored in the currently selected Theme Folder. If you would like to use the background image (BannerImage.png) or background texture (BannerTexture.png) you have stored in your default Theme Folder, do the following:
- To activate the banner’s optional background image add BKG-IMAGE to the
$blogBkgOptattribute. - To activate its optional background texture, add BKG-TEXTURE to the
$blogBkgOptattribute. - If you have a class of your own that you’ve added to one of the CSS notes, use that classname.
What’s the best size for a banner?
The best size for your banner image is 1460 x 410. The aspect ratio should not exceed 3.5:1. If the ratio of width to height is too great, a space will appear under the banner. To prevent this, just add the BKG-YFIT to the
$blogBkgOpt attribute. This will make the image is vertically flush without stretching it.
$DisplayExpression sets the banner title of your blog. Everything else is self-explanatory.For more info on backgrounds, see here: Banner Widget: website title and subtitle.
