Color Chooser

Panacea is accompanied by a Gantry-Admin based Color Chooser. The entire template styling is controlled by the Color Chooser. Therefore, instead of having to export a series of customized images to alter the template style, you can simply change a few settings in the administrator.

Access the Color Chooser from Admin → Template Manager → rt_panacea_j15 → Settings. There is no frontend interface for the color chooser options other than the Preset Style URL switches as outlined at the Preset Styles page.

Gantry Settings → Color Chooser

Below are the elements which are directly controlled by the Color Chooser, which allows you to change the colors, whether background, text, border or overlay were applicable, on every section of the site, such as the header, main body and footer.
