## Further Customizations

### Change Layout

By default, Uni is set to use the `half` layout. To change the `layout` change the front matter in `index.html`

For example, the layout below is using the `full` layout. The other options available are `half` and `card`.

```
---
layout: full
title: Uni – A one-page Jekyll theme
---
```

### Styling

While running `bundle exec gulp` modify any of the files in the `assets/scss/` folder and your browser will update automatically. No reload required!

The layouts all have their own stylesheets found in `assets/scss/layouts/`. This is where images for each of the three layouts can be found. In addition, this is where you can change text color, layout, etc.

#### Primary color

The primary color is used for headings, accents, and buttons. It can be changed by modifying the `assets/scss/base/_config.scss` file.

### Add Content

Add content in `config.yml` or alter `index.html` and change `{{ content }}` to be whatever you want.

### Imagery

As stated above, the images are set in the respective stylesheets found in `assets/scss/layouts/`.

We are using responsive images that require three different image sizes. This allows the browser to serve the appropriate image based on the screen size. Recommended image widths are:

* #### Small: 768px wide
* #### Medium: 1200px wide
* #### Large: 1600px wide

To replace the images, modify the names in the `responsivebackground` mixin as shown below.
*Make sure to include the file extension!*

```
@include responsivebackground("half-sm.jpg", "half-md.jpg", "half-lg.jpg");
```

When uploading images please keep file size in mind. For optimizing, we recommend using [TinyPNG](https://tinypng.com) and [TinyJPG](https://tinyjpg.com).

### Favicon

To add your own favicon, replace the image found at `assets/img/favicon.png`.
