			<description><![CDATA[This panel controls the theme color styles for the main Front Page (featured panel) and all pages throughout the site.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Styles: </span>Click on any one of the pre-loaded custom styles and this will instantly create that style in the browser. You can make any changes you like to the style preset in each of the theme sections within the tabs.<br />
Once you have made any changes, if you wish to save that style as a new global style you should give it a name and paste into field for "Save current style as" and click "Save". Your new style will then appear in the list of styles below. You can delete any style by clicking on the red "x" on the right when hovering the color (BEWARE: deleting is irreversible).<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Wrapper Margin: </span>This function adds a margin (space) between the top of the site and the bottom of the site when using the "Boxed" styling option. It does not have any effect when the "Full Width" styling is used!&lt;br&gt;<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Body Background Image: </span>Controls the total background image when the site style is set to "Boxed" layout. You can either use full width images and then set the horizontal and height repeats to suit, or you can use an image sample (e.g. 10x100px) and use the repeat function to create the background effect of your choosing. Alternatively you can use the Body Background Color to display a solid continuous color for the site background.<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Plain Container Content/Body BG:</span> (Body) Controls color of the background of the Plain Container and (Content) controls the color of the text in the Plain Container.<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Hyperlink Colors:</span> Controls the hyperlink colors for the site. This can be crucial when using some color styles because the default hyperlink colors may conflict with the site styling and not be visible enough. Change these settings to suit the site style that you have created.<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Remove Author &amp; Comments:</span> If you would like your site to have more of a website appearance than that of a blog then you can check these boxes to remove "Author + Time &amp; Date" and "Link to Comments" from Posts.&lt;br&gt;<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Exclude Categories/Posts:</span> This can be useful for hiding some custom categories and posts that you don't want to appear in sidebar widget menus as dropdowns or lists that appear once you publish them.&lt;br&gt;<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Enable Mobile Landing Page:</span> Select this checkbox to insert a page URL that you would like to use as a landing page that viewers will see first when they use a mobile device to open the website. This can be useful if the business owner wants to show a coupons page or a special mobile menu or a mobile styled custom landing page. Once the mobile user has left this initial landing page and then clicks on "Home", that will then direct back to the standard site homepage. Therefore, this mobile landing page function only works once per session after which normal site navigation applies.<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">N.B. </span></span>The mobile landing page can be any page within your WordPress site, or it can be a custom HTML page on the same site domain or in fact any URL of any domain.<br />

			<description><![CDATA[This panel controls the footer background color plus the color of text. We have not enabled font style and size in the controls as this can have an impact on the overall styling and function of the top line of footer text, i.e. the page links (controlled via WP-admin/Appearance/menus/) and the bottom line of text, i.e. the site credits.<br />
<span style="text-decoration: underline;">Phone Background Image:</span> You can choose whether or not to display a phone number background image by clicking the "delete" image link and then no image will display in the designated area. Note that the phone number will still display on the plain footer background when there is no background image uploaded.<br />
<span style="text-decoration: underline;">To enable the "Footer Widget" area:</span> select the checkbox and then add your content to the Footer Widgets found in WP admin /Appearance/widgets. There are 4 widgets you can use. If you use 2 or 3 widgets by adding content to them, then the footer widget area will be sectioned into 2 or 3 parts. You can have between 1 and 4 footer widget sections.<br />

			<description><![CDATA[This panel controls the styling for the top navigation menu buttons. You can create virtually any color combination for your navigation bar menu buttons and also select font of preference.<br />
Note that to create a highlighted button effect that you can select a deeper color tone for "bottom gradient" and then a much lighter tone of the same color for the "top gradient". The "border color" control will add substance and some contrast to the finished button. Otherwise, for a single flat color style menu button use the same color for both top and bottom gradient entries.<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">NOTE: </span>The selected button styles will then be duplicated for all sub menu buttons also.<br />
Full Width Ribbon Menus This is purely for styling purposes and looks very distinctive.<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">N.B. </span>The "Border Size" and "Border Radius" controls only apply to the "Button" style menu. You can use the "Padding Under Tabs" control to set the spacing under the menu bar between the menu bar and the bottom of the header.<br />
Enable Menu Buttons: In addition to this Universal control, you can also control whether the menu buttons appear or not by selecting the "Hide" menu buttons option on each page using the "Page Layout Options" on the upper right hand side of each page editor panel.<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Top Thin Bar Menu Placement:</span> You can place any style menu (except Full Width Ribbon) into the right or left side of the Top Thin Banner by checking the option box. <br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Mobile style Menu Option: </span>Choose between "Native" or "Modern" styles. "Native" uses the default mobile menu styling of the mobile device being used, and "Modern" uses an html custom style. View your site in a mobile device to see the difference.<br />

			<title><![CDATA[The "Header" Control Panel Tab]]></title>
			<link>http://supportforum.localbizsitebuilder.com/thread-2.html</link>
			<pubDate>Tue, 29 Jul 2014 07:21:23 +0000</pubDate>
			<guid isPermaLink="false">http://supportforum.localbizsitebuilder.com/thread-2.html</guid>
			<description><![CDATA[This panel controls the content and styles for the header area (not including the menu buttons which are controlled via the "Menu Buttons" tab in the master control panel).<br />
Each section is self explanatory and allows you to set colors and text content for the top thin header strip, *The main headline and *The sub-headline. You can select font and font effects for those areas as you choose.<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">NOTE:</span> If you wish to use a graphic header instead of the text then you need to check the "Use Image/Logo" box and upload your header graphic file.<br />
<span style="text-decoration: underline;">IMPORTANT:</span> max width of header graphic is 660px and default height is 70px. If you use taller header height of say 100px+ then the header area will dynamically increase automatically and you will need to remove the CTA down arrow on the right (click "display none" in "Top Arrow" section under "Featured Sidebar" tab). You can use the top header widget area to insert some graphic or widget of choice instead.<br />
There is an option to extend the header graphic area to 970px full width. This can be useful when not using any right side header widget or CTA arrow. Bear in mind that any header widget or CTA arrow will be overlayed onto the header graphic!<br />
<span style="text-decoration: underline;">Hide Default WP Site Title:</span> This allows you to use graphic header backgrounds without declaring a "Header Title" (in "Main Text For Header") and without the default WP site title displaying. This can be useful in some design instances.<br />
<span style="text-decoration: underline;">Useful Tip:</span> You can remove the appearance of having a header seperator line by disabling the option for "Enable Header Separator Bottom Line" and also by setting the colors for the "Header Separator Top/Bottom Gradients" to be the same as the bottom part of the header background, and the "Main Background Top Gradient" (in the "Featured Panel" section).<br />
<span style="text-decoration: underline;">Top Thin Banners:</span> You can use 1 or 2 Top Thin Banners (or none). Rotate/flip them, and enable full width styling from 660px to 970px. You can use a ticker news plugin here by inserting the short_code for the widget into the text content box. First you need to upload the free "Ditty News Ticker" plugin from the WordPress plugin repository.<br />
<span style="text-decoration: underline;">Selecting the "Enable Style Switcher at the Header" option </span>will insert a dropdown menu box in the Primary Top Thin Banner. This can be useful on Demo Sites so that site visitors can click on the various site styles to see which ones they like best. Website designers may wish to create a custom set of site styles to avoid confusing clients with all 44 preset styles that will appear in the dropdown menu if they are present in the Styles Gallery in the "General" tab.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[This panel controls the content and styles for the header area (not including the menu buttons which are controlled via the "Menu Buttons" tab in the master control panel).<br />
Each section is self explanatory and allows you to set colors and text content for the top thin header strip, *The main headline and *The sub-headline. You can select font and font effects for those areas as you choose.<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">NOTE:</span> If you wish to use a graphic header instead of the text then you need to check the "Use Image/Logo" box and upload your header graphic file.<br />
<span style="text-decoration: underline;">IMPORTANT:</span> max width of header graphic is 660px and default height is 70px. If you use taller header height of say 100px+ then the header area will dynamically increase automatically and you will need to remove the CTA down arrow on the right (click "display none" in "Top Arrow" section under "Featured Sidebar" tab). You can use the top header widget area to insert some graphic or widget of choice instead.<br />
There is an option to extend the header graphic area to 970px full width. This can be useful when not using any right side header widget or CTA arrow. Bear in mind that any header widget or CTA arrow will be overlayed onto the header graphic!<br />
<span style="text-decoration: underline;">Hide Default WP Site Title:</span> This allows you to use graphic header backgrounds without declaring a "Header Title" (in "Main Text For Header") and without the default WP site title displaying. This can be useful in some design instances.<br />
