A compact 2024 demonstration of theme-wide type, colour and layout settings. It also shows how to compare changes in the Style Book and return to an earlier version. Use a disposable practice page while learning the controls.

Places to begin.

A small exercise.

  1. Step 01

    A plain starting page

    Create a heading, paragraph, button and image on a practice page. Save the initial version.

  2. Step 02

    Check the defaults

    Choose a body size, heading size and line height. Read a full paragraph on a narrow screen before moving on.

  3. Step 03

    Leave useful space

    Compare two content widths and two block-spacing settings. Pick the combination that keeps the page easiest to scan.

  4. Step 04

    Keep a way back

    Save one screenshot and a short note about the settings. Practise restoring the earlier version before changing a larger project.

Keep a copy.
