Appearance & site identity

Who: admins (Hub → Site). Editors usually do not see Site.

Site identity

Hub → Site opens the site form:

FieldMeaning
NameSite name (wordmark / title context).
TaglineShort line under the name when the theme shows it.
Canonical hostPublic host, e.g. example.com (no scheme).
Home slugWhich page is home.
ThemeTheme folder name for this site.
Live siteProduction mode: default admin password refused; outbound mail must be deliverable (log-only is refused). Do not turn this on or off casually.
Enable grantsTurns on widget visibility controls (Public / Editors only / Admin only) on armed sections. Page visibility in Pages works either way.

Save with Save at the bottom of the dialog.

Appearance

Below the identity fields, Appearance edits theme colours, fonts, spacing, and content width. Changes write into the site’s user CSS (same tokens themes already define). CMS chrome stays kernel-styled.

GroupWhat you set
BrandPrimary, accent, wordmark
PageBackground, text, muted, border, surface
ChromeHeader and hero colours
Content panelPanel background, text, headings
Links & navLink and nav text colours
Type & measureBody / UI fonts (or a Font preset), content max width, spacing, corner radius

Pick colours with the swatch or type a value. Fonts accept a CSS stack (placeholders show examples). Save on the Site form applies Appearance with the rest of Site.

Tips

  • Take a checkpoint before a large colour/font experiment.
  • Page and widget visibility are separate — see Pages & navigation.
  • Packs and mail From address live on the same Site dialog — Packs & capabilities.
