Theming

By default Frest use default theme using theme-default.css file. You can change it or include your custom style from assets/vendors/css.

With Customizer
Without Customizer

<link rel="stylesheet" href="../../assets/vendor/css/rtl/theme-default.css" class="template-customizer-theme-css" />

<link rel="stylesheet" href="../../assets/vendor/css/rtl/theme-default.css" />

Styling

Frest provides light and dark styles options. By default it provides light style.

To enable dark style you need to:

Set dark-style class on the <html> element instead of light-style.
```
<html class="dark-style">
```

Add -dark suffix to core.css and theme-*.css stylesheets.

With Customizer
Without Customizer

<link rel="stylesheet" href="../../assets/vendor/css/rtl/core-dark.css" class="template-customizer-core-css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="../../assets/vendor/css/rtl/theme-default-dark.css" class="template-customizer-theme-css" />

<link rel="stylesheet" href="../../assets/vendor/css/rtl/core-dark.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="../../assets/vendor/css/rtl/theme-default-dark.css" />

RTL support

By default Frest provides RTL supported HTML template.

To enable RTL direction support just load Frest's stylesheets from the assets/vendor/css/rtl/ path instead of assets/vendor/css/.

With Customizer
Without Customizer

<link rel="stylesheet" href="../../assets/vendor/css/rtl/core.css" class="template-customizer-core-css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="../../assets/vendor/css/rtl/theme-default.css" class="template-customizer-theme-css" />

<link rel="stylesheet" href="../../assets/vendor/css/rtl/core.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="../../assets/vendor/css/rtl/theme-default.css" />

To enable RTL direction (mode), add dir="rtl" attribute to the <html> element.

<html dir="rtl">

Tip: If you don't want to use rtl supported style you can just include styles from assets/vendor/css/ instead of assets/vendor/css/rtl/. That will only load ltr styles.
