Platformate Theme has just been released and made avaiable for sale a day ago. The theme is designed for you who are willing to have unique blog design, a magazine look with personal touch. In one single purchase, you get the unlimited possibility to pick and decide the color scheme of the theme. Here is a very simple tutorial on how to colorize your theme.

There are basically 3 colors applied across the theme: the dark tone, the light tone, and the link hover cover. With these 3 user-definable options, you can get any color you want for your blog.

What should I do?

  1. Log into your WP Dashboard.
  2. Activate the Platformate Theme. (you should have done this already, I guess)
  3. Go to Design >> Platfotmate Options
  4. In the top-right section of the theme admin panel, you’ll find “Theme Color“.
  5. Put the codes below to your admin panel, save the settings.
  6. Visit your blog, refresh the page, and you’ll see your blog in a new color.

Note: The category spoilers colors in the right sidebar must be configured in “Category Color Assignment” in the bottom-left of the admin panel.
