Buttons can all be themed at once for consistency throughout your course with these easy to use settings.
We can choose the background color of the button itself, the text color, making sure that the contrast is right for legibility, and also the size of the text , by choosing one of our existing text styles to theme it. We also have the option to decide whether when we hover over a button, it darkens or lightens. We can change whether they have a border, the width of that border, and its color. Choose square, rounded, or pill-shaped. You can even add three different sizes of drop shadows to the entire button, which can be small, medium, or large.
Once satisfied, return to the theme settings and continue modifying everything to your liking to enhance your theming and branding. This includes adjusting the width of the page content to be narrow, medium, or almost full width.
You can also change the padding between sections, both vertically and horizontally, and the space between them. For instance, we can reduce our vertical padding to bring elements closer together from top to bottom. At the moment, we have no horizontal padding or space between sections, but you can add those if you wish, and the same goes for rows and columns. Adjust the padding to make the layout of the page look exactly as you want.
Once you're pleased with these changes, it's time to return to your course and see how it looks with our new styling. To do this, use the "Back to Course" button at the top left of the screen. You'll notice that our course now reflects these changes. The padding is smaller, our headings have changed size, and our coloring and buttons have been updated. It's looking way better.
Next, we will take a look at variations on our basic theme for more visually impactful courses.
