## Changing the options

#### Setting the header style

From within the admin go to theme options > main settings. Scroll down till you see “Header Style” there you can “Choose a Header Style” and enable options like a sticky header.

#### Adding a logo

From within the admin go to theme options > main settings. There scroll down till you see “Logo Options”.  
There you can control the logo layout (\*if using the standard header style).

Next you can upload a logo one standard and one retina image (image should be twice as large as your standard logo).

If you do not have a logo the theme will automatically use your sites name. (set in the settings > general).  
You can style the site name in your theme options > main settings > “Sitename Logo Font”.

Spacing around your logo is controlled just a little further down the page.

#### Adding a tagline

\*Note this is only for standard header style.  
From within the admin go to theme options > main settings. There scroll down till you see “Site Tagline – Below Logo”. You can add a tagline there and right below style the font you would like to use.

#### Adjusting the Logo Layout

In your theme options > main settings, scrolling down to the logo options you can use one of the four options you can determine where your logo is placed as well as the menu.
