Important: Each theme layout contains a unique structure and complex functionality. Therefore, the settings and sections of the Theme Options may differ depending on the installed layout.

The Theme options panel has been specially created to make your workflow faster and easier. Using it is very easy, and in just a few minutes, you can change a lot of things on your website.

Let's start our acquaintance with the General section settings.

Depending on the layout the Custom Base Car Dealer Color and Listing Color, Custom Secondary Car Dealer Color, and Listing Color affect the color of the different elements.

Enable Preloader

Enable or Disable the preloader on your website by turning on/off the Enable preloader option.

A preloader is what you see on your screen while the rest of the page’s content is still loading. When the page is loaded from the server, some styles/scripts are loaded later (or take more time) than others, it’s just processing data. This leads to the fact that the page can be displayed without style for a few seconds. To let visitors know that the website hasn’t crashed, we encourage you to use the preloader.

Preloader timer - you can define the time to turn off the preloader; if the field is empty, it will be turned off after loading the page:

The theme preloader appears like this:

Site smooth scroll

Enable this option if you want the scrolling of the pages in the theme to roll smoothly. When this option is disabled, the scrolling will stop as soon as the user lets go of the mouse roller.

Download Google Fonts

This setting enables you to download and store Google Fonts locally so it will help to improve the loading time of your website.

To set the fonts follow Motors Theme Options > Typography.

As Google also updates fonts regularly, if you catch any problems with incorrect display of the fonts on your website, use the Synchronize button to update the fonts.
