Have a look at the below video on how Document360 allows you to customize your knowledge base website.

How to find the selector name?

First, you should know the selector name (Ex, Class or ID name of the div) to change the “Style”. Now you can choose the section that you want to change and then right click to Inspect. In the DevTools window, you can easily view the selector name and the default CSS.

At this point, you will now know the selector name and then you can write your custom CSS in the Settings section to customise it as required.

Change the Color or CSS style

If you would like to change the color or style of your knowledge base website, you can write your Custom CSS in this section. Your custom CSS would be included in the HTML, just before ending head tag.

You should paste all the customized CSS code on the Custom CSS page in Settings.

Make changes on the Landing page

For example – To change header title, font size, font family and the color on the landing page

.landing_top h1 {
font-size:3.5rem;
color: #0035ff;
font-family: "Comic Sans MS";
}

The above CSS will change the size of the Landing Page Header text to a larger size and color of the text will be blue.

For example – To change the landing page header background color ( below code specifies a gradient shade, but the solid color is also possible) and font color.

.landing_top {
background: linear-gradient(135.94deg, #134660 0%,#005a7e 37.15%,#1c738b 54.98%,#55a6a6 100%) !important;
color: #fff4cc !important;
}

$(document).ready(function(){
alert("Hello! I am an alert box!");
});
