Troubleshooting

Why don't the colors look exactly like the ones I chose?

Overprint darkens or lightens a color wherever text in that color, or on that color, would be hard to read, keeping its hue. The inks on their own (shadows, tape, stickers, pictures) keep your colors as chosen. The Style book page template shows the colors in use.

Why are my pictures blue (or teal, or purple)?

Ink & paper › Pictures printed in two inks prints hero banners, and cards if you choose, in the second ink. Set it to None for original colors everywhere. Item pages always show the original picture, and cards show it when a visitor points at them or tabs to them.

Why does a card say "Still Image" instead of "Photograph"?

The sticker is the item's Type value (dcterms:type). Items without one show their class instead. Add a Type to each item, or choose Browse pages › Line under the card title › Class and date to use classes everywhere.

Can I straighten everything?

Yes: Ink & paper › Paste-up › Tidy straightens cards, pictures and labels and removes the tape, and Misregistration › None lines the inks up. Sunflower & Federal Blue does both.

My site's name is too big, or too small.

In the masthead layout, the name is sized by its length: short names are set big, long ones smaller. For a smaller name throughout, choose the Bar or Centered layout, or add a logo (with Logo size).

The menu takes two rows.

Stamped labels take room. In the bar layout, five or more labels move to a row of their own below the name. Shorten the labels, use Menu levels to keep submenus out of the header, or choose the masthead layout, which always gives the menu its own row.

My logo disappears in dark mode.

Add a light version of the logo under Dark mode › Logo for dark mode.

Where do I choose what appears on item pages?

Under Theme › Configure resource pages. See Browse and item pages and Item and media pages.

Why is my link preview on social media missing an image?

Choose a Default sharing image under Site icon & sharing, or a site thumbnail. Social networks keep previews for a while; their sharing debuggers can refresh them.

How do I translate the theme into my language?

See Languages and translation.

A module's page doesn't match the theme.

Most module pages inherit Overprint's styles. If something looks out of place, adjust it under Advanced › Custom CSS using the design tokens, and tell RefBytes which module and page it is.
