Modifying the ‘Gateway’ theme

Dear all,

I’ve just put my website back together after a two-year break (that’s a long story).

Previously I was using a SimpleX theme, but it seems that is no longer supported. So now I have opted for Gateway. Should add that I’ve looked in the Gateway theme support area but not been able to find the answer there yet.

However, I’m struggling to find how to customise the look of my pages. Although I’m fairly tech-savvy what I would really like is a WYSIWYG theme editor. I’m happy to pay for one (up to a point), although a freeware solution is always nice! That being said I’m happy to edit style sheets and so on if that’s what is needed.

Specifically what I would like to do is:

1. Edit fonts, especially in the header and footer
2. Adjust height of the header and footer, and their background colours
3. Reduce the spacing between posts on the blog page (which is also the homepage); right now there is more blank space than I would like

If somebody could point me in the right direction for editing this theme, or recommend a more flexible one that would meet the requirements, I’d be very grateful. Thanks!

Graham
