  • Working with Appearance Options

    Each PÊB theme comes with buckets of appearance options. You can change these options on your customize page - located here on your primary blog, and at tumblr.com/customize/username on any secondary blogs.

    There are 6 type of appearance options that can be used to customize your theme

    Please note that the blog preview in the customize page may not be an accurate representation of how the theme looks on your blog, this is because tumblr doesn't fully reload the preview when you change appearance options. It is often better to save every the options and see how they look on your actual blog.

    How To

  • Custom Fonts

    Please note this feature is for advanced users who are comfortable with CSS, if you're unsure it's better to stick to the font options Tumblr provides.

    Each PÊB theme comes with several font-embedding options:

    Font Embed Options

    You can put any html in the 'Font Embed Code' option, usually fonts are installed as script or link tags. Then enter the css values of the fonts in the Font Family fields, each filled field will override its corresponding font option. You can also provide fallback fonts for browsers that don't support @font-face in each Font Family field.

    To use your own custom fonts it's advised to upload them to Tumblr's static asset uploader and link to them from there. As it's impossible to upload assets to your blog's tumblr subdomain, to avoid CORS problems you should Base64 encode your font using a service like Font Squirrel's webfont generator.

  • Make External Links

    1. Navigate to your blog's customize page - located here on your primary blog, and at tumblr.com/customize/username on any secondary blogs.
    2. Scroll to the bottom of the appearance options and click 'Add a page'.
    3. Change the layout to 'Redirect', note this option will only be available if you've confirmed your tumblr account through email.
    4. Give the page a nice url, for example 'pebthemes.tumblr.com/twitter' can redirect to 'twitter.com/pebthemes'.
    5. Click 'Show a link to this page' for it to show in the link area in your blog's header or sidebar

    2. Click the 'Share on Twitter' button and follow the steps to authorize the app.

  • Add Custom CSS

    Please note this is for advanced users only who are comfortable with CSS.

    Custom CSS can be added by navigating to the advanced options at the bottom of the customize page sidebar.

    customcss

    All themes use BEM syntax for css, so selectors like '.post--video .post__content' will target the content of video posts. You can use web inspectors to find elements and appropriate selectors.

  • Theme Licences

    There are 2 types of licences available for premium themes. Personal licences are for private individuals for use on up to 4 blogs, commercial licences are for businesses and profit-making entities and are for use on up to 20 blogs. Additionally, commercially-licensed themes don't include a theme credit icon (present in the top right corner on free and personally-licensed themes).

    We have a tracking system which stops theme purchases being abused and mass distribution, if your theme code is recorded as being used on more blogs than it's licenced for we have a right to remotely remove its advanced features.

  • Refunds

    If you're unhappy with your theme purchase for whatever reason we will fully refund it within 30 days. After that we may be able to refund it depending on your reason, please email us. Obviously, if you are refunded you can no longer use the theme.
