Absolute Weaver allows you to customize virtually every aspect of your site. The Customizer Options are organized as top level panels based on WHAT you want to customize, and a second level of sections based on WHERE you want to make the customizations. Remember: WHAT and WHERE.

First Level Options: WHAT to Set - Option Categories

The first level of Absolute Weaver Customizer menus is organized around different categories of options that reflect different collections of related options. For example, all the Color settings are found on a single, top-level option panel called "Colors". The other top level option panels represent similar groups of options:

▸ Colors - Specify all colors used on site - both text and background colors.
▸ Spacing, Widths, Alignment - Set margins, padding, spacing, heights, widths, and alignment.
▸ Style - Set borders, shadows, rounded corners, list bullet style, icons.
▸ Typography - Set font family, font size, bold, italic, default base font information.
▸ Visibility - Show or hide various elements - usually by device ( phone, tablet, desktop ).
▸ Layout - Specify element layout - sidebars, etc.
▸ Images - Set borders, placement, Featured Images, Header Images, Background Images.
▸ Added Content - Define added content for extra HTML insertion areas.
▸ Custom CSS - Advanced users can specify custom CSS for the whole site or specific areas.
▸ Sidebars & Widgets Content - the standard WordPress interface for widget areas and widgets.
▸ Custom Menu Content - the standard WordPress interface for defining custom menus.

The top level Customizer menu also has two additional menus:

▸ Absolute Weaver: Start Here - access to getting started help and other documentation.
▸ General Options & Admin - WordPress Site Identity and Static Front page options, and other theme admin options.

The basic logic behind this organization is that it is easy to remember the different kinds of things you want to customize, like color or spacing. The next level of menus specifies where you want to make those changes.

Second Level Options: WHERE to Set - Areas

Deciding what you want to customize is usually an obvious decision. Finding where to apply those settings take a bit more understanding just how a Absolute Weaver WordPress site is organized.

We\'ve tried to make this second level step as easy and consistent as possible. Almost every one of the option categories can be applied to the same set of areas. The "standard" set of areas include:

▸ Wrapping Areas - the major outer areas that wrap the site\'s content. The main Wrapper Area wraps the entire site, while the Container Area wraps the page or post content and the main sidebars.
▸ Links - Not all categories apply to links, but links are treated as a single element to style.
▸ Header Area - the header area is displayed at the top of the site, and includes the site title and tagline, the primary and secondary menus, the site header image, a header widget area, and an extra area for arbitrary HTML.
▸ Menus - The Primary Menu can be displayed at the top or bottom of the Header. There is a one line mini-menu that can be displayed in the header area.
▸ Info Bar - the Info Bar is displayed immediately below the Header Area, and shows navigation information, as well as other custom content.
▸ Content - the content area displays page and post content.
▸ Post Specific - the Content styling will be applied to both page and post content, but this section allows you to have specific styling for posts and blog views.
▸ Sidebars & Widget Areas - styling for the various Sidebars and Widget Areas.
▸ Individual Widgets - styling for individual widgets displayed in the Widget Areas.
▸ Footer Area - the footer area at the bottom of the site. This includes a widget area and an extra custom HTML insertion area.
▸ Global Options - some of the Option Categories can include other sections that can apply to global settings. Typography, for example, allows you to specify various global options such as base font size.
