I LOVE this theme….however, I'd love it even more if…

    So I’ve been searching for themes for a while. I was therefore very happy to see an Automattic (Mel Choyce) developed theme that had the beautiful interface I was looking for.

    A few things that are a little frustrating;

    1. The blog title always default to CAPITALS – which is very immediate and off-putting for a theme that is otherwise elegant and subtle.
    2. The one big thing I am hoping for; an option to remove the sidebars in Blog/Post views. The two right sidebars makes the whole theme lopsided. Also, when the theme scales to small screens, the two sidebars stack on top of the footer widgets – giving one huge list of widgets etc.
    3. The top banner image has some kind of opaque filter applied to it. Please give us an option to turn this off so that we can just leave the image in its original state.
    4. Speaking of the banner image, it would be great to be able to set an image with variable vertical height.

    Most importantly for me, if you could give us an option to remove the sidebars, that would be wonderful :).

    I hope you can make this change, as it’ll make an already excellent theme that much better.

    Thanks for reading

  • So glad you have had great results! One last little tweak should take care of it.

    How about this:

    .blog .site-main,
    .single .site-main {
    float: none;
    padding-left: 30%;
    width: 70%;
    }

    That’s done it :). I never thought I’d get to this point….I thought I’d just have to put up with the limitations of the theme. So thank you so much for helping me out.

    Just one question – whenever I see Jetpack tiled galleries, they always seem to fill the whole span of the content area. However, on my blog posts, it only seems to fill up 2/3 of the space (and always justifies to the left, even though I try to centre it).

    Is it purely because I am using a post template that is too big for the jetpack gallery? Or is to because I have been editing parts of the style.css sheet, and not others?

    (I’m not sure if I’ll use the gallery features in the future…but it would be good to know if there is a more fundamental problem with my website).

    Thanks again

    I haven’t had much experience with styling galleries myself, but I was able to get the gallery to center by using:

    .gallery-row {
    margin: auto;
}

    Hope this helps!

    Glad to see some folks were able to get your child theme looking mostly how you want.

    Just one question – whenever I see Jetpack tiled galleries, they always seem to fill the whole span of the content area. However, on my blog posts, it only seems to fill up 2/3 of the space (and always justifies to the left, even though I try to centre it).

    The content width in Cerauno is set to 900px wide, which is why the Jetpack tiled gallery is displaying at that width – it follows the content width set in the theme.

    Your other Envira gallery on that page is not respecting the content width set in the theme, which you have overriden somewhere else in your child theme.

    As a side note, you might want to think about reducing your content width – the current long line lengths make the text very hard to read.

    Enjoy Cerauno!
