The advanced options for custom Jimdo layout with template configuration which defines the global design of the website

The template configuration is very similar to custom body classes you're using in Matrix themes. For example,  you  can add the body class 'no-hero'  in Edit Head section to hide the hero image in specific page, while the template configuration applies to the whole site and all pages.

With template configuration you can define whether your header has white or dark background, decide left, center or right aligned navigation and much more.

The configuration template line can be found in Design > custom template > HTML
