Adding a google font

01. Copy the below preset font and paste it to Edit Head section ( in Admin menu> Settings> Edit Head ) 


 <link href="https://fonts.jimstatic.com/css?family=Poppins:400,500,600,700,800" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"/>

<style>
/* <![CDATA[ */
#cc-inner h1.g-font,#cc-inner h2.g-font,#cc-inner h3.g-font,
#hs-container.g-font,#hs-container.g-font h1,#hs-container.g-font h2,#hs-container.g-font h3,#hs-container.g-font h4,#hs-container.g-font span.fn,#hs-container.g-font p, #hs-container.g-font table, #hs-container.g-font td,#hs-container.g-font .hs-menu .nav li a,#hs-container.g-font .j-nav-variant-nested,#hs-container.g-font .j-nav-variant-standard,#hs-container.g-font .j-nav-variant-breadcrumb,#hs-container.g-font .slicknav_nav a,#hs-container.g-font ul.slimmenu li a,#hs-container.g-font .j-formnew input,#hs-container.g-font .hs-button,#hs-container.g-font a.j-calltoaction-link,#hs-container.g-font .cc-shop-addtocard,#cc-inner nav.g-font a,#cc-inner .j-formnew input.g-font,#cc-inner a.j-calltoaction-link.g-font,#cc-inner .hs-button.g-font {
    font-family: 'Poppins', sans-serif;
}

/*]]>*/
</style>

To change the preset google font, just change the font name (yellow color) for your own one. You can use the below website to pickup your own google font:

Font CDN

02. Open the Style Editor and add the class 'g-font' for the main elements of your website:

bg-darkgray add-5

 

In case you wanted to apply the google font for all elements of your website, use the first line of 'Template configurations':

 

bg-darkgray add-5

Common issues

- Using the apply button

When you add a new custom widget or populate a new Jimdo element ( e.g. button) you will see the default color and typography style setup in CSS. To see the updated styles of Editor, you'll need to click the "Apply" button.

- How to make a transparent header

Editing the Style Editor, you can choose the background color of your header that will be applied for the whole website. To make the header transparent like in Lemberg theme, you need to use the helper class 'has-transparent-header' inside the variables of the hero section. 

add-5 bg-grey 

<var> draggable-hero color-white g-font has-transparent-header </var>

When you add a new class to the variables, you'll need to reload the page to see the effect.

 

 

In case you added a class 'has-transparent-header' to the template with dark color navigation, you can improve the visibility of the dark color menu and hero image by adding the following class ' has-white-overlay' and 'has-sticky-white'.

- Reducing the spacing between the hero and content

The same way to reduce the space between the hero or header and content section. The correct class is 'has-no-gutter'

 

add-5 bg-grey 

<var> draggable-hero color-white g-font has-no-gutter </var>

 

As you can see in my examples that the classes 'has-transparent-header' and 'has-no-gutter' have been used in hero variables code. In case you don't have a hero section ( sub-page), you can use the same classes inside any custom widgets having 'is-matrix-block' in the first code line ( all widgets of Block elements ) 


<div class="is-matrix-block has-no-gutter h-100 h-mobile is-parallax is--flex is-fullwidth rel no-padding" style=
"background: url('https://u.jimcdn.com/cms/o/sb2b5767bd6861c8a/userlayout/img/z-cover.jpg?t=1616195341') no-repeat center;padding:auto 0!important;background-attachment:scroll!important;background-size: cover!important;">
...

- Nav flickering

If you setup a large font size for the navigation ( e.g. size-20), you might see a flickering effect when the page is loading. This happens because the helper class is applied after the page is loaded. The solution is:

1) Add the same class for 'hs-menu' directly in HTML;

2) In style Editor add one of the animated effects: wow animated fadeIn or wow animated fadeInUp;

- How to remove the Style Editor

With drag&drop functions move the Style Editor Elements to content section and then remove them.
