Suppose we want to have a different look here to make our first section stand out more, say for example a black background with white text.
To do this, we go to the section's design settings, and change the background color from white to black. This will change only the background of this section, and not all of them, as it would do in the theme. Next we go and select our text area and again in the Design tab, change the text color to white. Instantly, we have a section that looks different from the ones below. Theming your sections in this way allows you to customize each section to look exactly as you want.
Once your section settings are changed, you'll notice a purple wording with a dot beside it in the settings . This indicates that you've deviated from the default theme settings and have opted for a custom setting for that item. If you don't like the changes you've made and wish to revert to the theme settings, simply click on any item with this dot and the color purple and choose to reset to the theme, and it will return to its original state.
You can alter the background color of each section differently without changing the underlying theme. Just select each section in turn, choose the desired color, and apply it. This adds impact to certain areas of your course. You can even choose to add a background image if you like.
If we find a certain heading too large for our preference, we can simply select it and opt for another Heading style that is a more suitable size. Themed sections are also fantastic for the end of a page, where you can add a summary of the learning so far, a quick tip or call to action, or company information. We will drop in another section, insert a graphic element, drop in our logo, and voila! As you can see though, a white logo on a white background isn't ideal! To fix this, we navigate to that section's design settings and change the background color. Now, our white logo stands out clearly.
It's extremely simple to alter the colors from your base theme to match your preferences, and it doesn't alter the original base theme at all.
