Use the inspector of your browser to learn the CSS of any theme element.

Beyond the Basics: Advanced Customization and Expert Tips

Ready to push your course design further? Let’s explore advanced customization options. Custom CSS is your key to granular control. Use your browser’s developer tools to identify elements and tailor their appearance. For example, to change the course title color, target the relevant CSS class and add color: your_desired_color;.

Consider creating a stylesheet for different courses.

Exporting and importing styles streamlines your workflow. This is helpful for reusing styles across multiple courses or duplicating designs on different platforms. Save your CSS as a .css file for easy import.

While the tool provides layout options, you can develop custom course templates. You can modify existing templates, or build them from scratch.

Mobile optimization is critical. Preview your courses on various devices. Utilize media queries in your custom CSS to adapt your layout for smaller screens. For instance, adjust font sizes or hide certain elements.

Many plugins enhance e-learning platforms. Leverage these integrations to add features. Remember to test plugin compatibility to ensure smooth integration with the tool.
