Looks like the knowledgeable article explained the configuration. Thanks!

Please consider adding top and bottom Padding parameters for Parallax element, including Height setting. I find myself always adding these parameters to the custom css section. Thanks!

Can you please consider adding an email icon to the social share icons. It would also be nice to have the email icon included in the team profiles (hover on Follow Us). By the way, I noticed that the team hover displays the Follow Us, even without the social share icons. I think the hover should be disabled in that case. I also noticed that the hand icon is displayed on the Team slider for scrolling, even when there are no items to scroll. I would think the hand icon would revert back to the standard pointer icon in this case. Thanks.

Few more comments about the swift builder. Really would like to see the ability to edit an element using the same interface as when creating it for the first time. For example, adding an element to the page, code gets generated after you select okay. If you then need to make modifications, you basically need to update the actual code that was generated or start over if the change is not minor. And please think about making the screen element windows re-sizable. Currently, they appear extremely small on large displays, which makes editing cumbersome.

Of course, all this can be done today. But it does take the fun out of building the pages and seems like a chore. As I mentioned before, if you could bring back the original visual composer and add in your custom elements, this theme would be absolutely the best. But having used other builders like Jupiter, The7, and Enfold, this version just requires allot more effort and doesn’t seem to have the fun factor, which really effects the creativity aspect of the site design for me. Hope this feedback helps.

Hi Ed. If I’m not using a child theme, can I simply edit my functions.php file?

Would be great if you could make the icon selectable as an Admin option. Thanks.

Love the styling support for Gravity Forms. But can you also include the same for MyMail Newsletter plugin and MailChimp subscribe forms (fields and submit button). Would be happy to send you the MyMail plugin, if you need it for testing. Thanks.

1) Would be great to have an option to select our own Mobile Menu icon. You provided the code to change the icon in a child theme, but it would be nice to see this option in the admin panel. I prefer the font awesome fa-bars icon, which seems like a standard mobile icon.
2) Enable the Swift Builder for the Team page. Really need the ability to layout the Team page using the Builder.
3) More examples on combining Extra Class Name elements. For example, change the color of an icon, remove margins, hide in mobile view, etc.
4) More parallax options and examples, especially combining multiple parallax images with fluid scroll.
5) Would love to see improvements in the Swift Builder. Really miss the Visual Composer version where it’s truly drag and drop. Much easier for building complex layouts without having to deal with short-code generator code.
6) Can the text fade in the header be slowed down. It seems really dramatic and fast on my machine. Salient theme seems smoother for some reason.
Thanks!

Hi Melanie.

The documentation is not helpful. I need to understand what the codes are in my original question.

Also, I hope that elements can be hidden since that is a big reason for using BootStrap framework.

Hi Ed. I have the Header Option #7 selected. The top bar config is set to text/text. I have the left side set as [social]. But the Contact field (Header left text config) is still displaying, even though I’m not using Header 1 or 4. Any suggestions? I’m also confused as to why 2 top bars are displaying? Thanks!

Just my 2 cents on the builder. I have had a chance to work with many themes that used different variations of Visual Composer. With the customized versions used in the Jupiter and The7 themes, it just seems much easier to use. For example, I can choose a parallax section and then drop 3×1/3 boxes inside. I can then add an icon and then a text element to each box. This can all be done visually without using shortcodes and it makes it very easy to go back and modify. With Swift Builder, I can add a Parallax element, but then need to add shortcodes in a text box, which then generates code. It’s even harder to add in the 1/3 boxes. This is just one example and I guess I got used to the more visual way of composing the layouts. It would also be nice to set icon colors and parallax heights, etc. without always having to add custom css. I just find the Swift Builder much harder to use.

Hello. I would like to request an alternative to the custom css area. Since the builder can’t accommodate certain things, like parallax area height, different icon colors, etc. I find myself always switching over to the admin area to add in my custom css. Often times, this becomes trial and error. It would be great to have an external css file that I can edit through a standard css editor, which also means cleaner and readable code. This could also apply to the js section, but the css file is more critical for me. Thanks!

Thanks Ed. It’s working great now. I should have looked closer. 🙂

By the way, I hope this can be added as a configurable option. I’m currently not using a child theme.

Hi Ed. Can you please provide some suggestions on making the sidebar width smaller. I’m not using the shop products at this time, if that helps. It sounds like you might have some ideas for this in a coming update. Is there anything I can apply for the short-term? Thanks!

[jovo]

Thanks Ed. For item #2, it looks like I already have this code by default. By the way, I’m using the Masonry Blog with AUX. The if statement says mini below, is this correct? Anything else that I can try?

if ($blog_type == “mini”) {
$item_class = “col-sm-12”;
} else if ($blog_type == “masonry”) {
if ($sidebar_config == “both-sidebars”) {
$item_class = “col-sm-3”;
} else {
$item_class = “col-sm-4”;
}
} else {
$item_class = $width;
}

Just my 2 cents, but some themes like Jupiter provide many options for their parallax effects, like speed control. To me it seems fairly smooth, http://artbees.net/themes/jupiter-demo/homepage-parallax. These time settings are really helpful when stacking multiple parallax images. This site scrolls like absolute butter, http://www.protest.eu/en/men/. 🙂
