### Override
Most code is in partial templates that the layout templates use.
Code can be added, changed, or removed easily by overriding the corresponding layout or partial template.
For example, `layouts/_default/list.html` and `layouts/_default/single.html` include `layouts/partial/paige/page.html`.
`layouts/partial/paige/page.html` includes `layouts/partial/paige/page-header.html`.
To change the page title for those layout templates, change `layouts/partial/paige/page-header.html`.
To change the page title for `layouts/_default/single.html` only,
replace the inclusion of `layouts/partial/paige/page.html` in `layouts/_default/single.html` with its content,
then in that, replace the inclusion of `layouts/partial/paige/page-header.html` with its content,
then in that, change the page title.
To change the favicon, override these files:
- `static/apple-touch-icon.png`
- `static/favicon-96x96.png`
- `static/favicon.ico`
- `static/favicon.svg`
- `static/web-app-manifest-192x192.png`
- `static/web-app-manifest-512x512.png`
You can generate these favicon files [here](https://realfavicongenerator.net).
To change the syntax highlighting styles, override these files [with your own](https://gohugo.io/content-management/syntax-highlighting/#generate-syntax-highlighter-css):
- `layouts/partials/paige/dark.css`
- `layouts/partials/paige/light.css`

### Minimal look
By default, everything is shown.
If you want a more minimal look, try the following parameter values:
```toml
[paige.pages]
disable_authors = true
disable_date = true
disable_keywords = true
disable_next = true
disable_prev = true
disable_reading_time = true
disable_series = true
disable_toc = true
disable_word_count = true
[paige.subpages]
disable_authors = true
disable_date = true
disable_keywords = true
disable_reading_time = true
disable_series = true
disable_summary = true
disable_word_count = true
```
### Narrow look
By default, the content expands to fill the whole window.
This can result in very long lines, depending on the window width.
To use [the recommended line length of 66 characters](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line_length#Printed_text) (40rem),
try the following in `yoursite/hugo.toml`:
```toml
[params.paige]
style = """
#paige-page-content,
#paige-page-pages > * { margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 40rem; }
"""
```
### Narrow-and-wide look
By default, the content expands to fill the whole window.
This can result in very long lines, depending on the window width.
To use [the recommended line length of 66 characters](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line_length#Printed_text) (40rem)
for all content except media,
try the following in `yoursite/hugo.toml`:
```toml
[params.paige]
style = """
#paige-page-content,
#paige-page-pages > * { margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 40rem; }
#paige-page-content > img,
#paige-page-content > .paige-shortcode-image,
#paige-page-content > .paige-shortcode-vimeo,
#paige-page-content > .paige-shortcode-youtube { max-width: 100%; }
"""
```
### Menu navigation only
If you configure a menu, and intend for it to be sufficient for all navigation,
you should hide the breadcrumbs on every page,
and hide the collection, section, and page lists on the home page if you use the default home page layout.
To hide the breadcrumbs on every page,
try the following in `yoursite/hugo.toml`:
```toml
[params.paige.site]
disable_breadcrumbs = true
```
To hide the collection, section, and page lists on the home page,
try the following in `yoursite/content/_index.md`:
```toml
[params.paige.pages]
disable_collections = true
disable_pages = true
disable_sections = true
```
