You can customize different aspects of the theme by visiting admin/appearance/settings/marinelli

Breadcrumb settings

Breadrumb Title

Choosing yes the node title will be showed in breadcrumb.

Title Length

Sometimes it's useful to truncate the title to a maximum length (especially for long node titles).
Here you can set a maximum number of character after which the title will be truncated

Layout settings

Layout width

This is the full layout width: you can choose between 1048px and 988px. Using 1048px can cause browser horizontal bar to appear with low resolution screens. At the same time you'll have more space for your content and banners.

Layout Type

Here you can control the position of the sidebars. Be aware that if you use "content in the middle" sidebar wrapper regions won't be available (Under Sidebars, Over Sidebars)

Do you want to hide block title for the external blocks?

By choosing yes all the block titles outside the content (except the sidebars block) won't show in the template. Furthermore all the margins will be removed. This option is useful if you want to put images or static resources such as flash animations in those regions.

Primary menu settings

Which kind of primary links do you want to use?

You can choose between classic 1-level primary links or a Mega Drop Down Menu. A mega drop down menu is a special kind of dropdown menu that uses an unique panel to show all the child links of a 1-level section. If want to use the megamenu, activate the setting and then go to admin/structure/menu/manage/main-menu to build the tree. Megamenu supports a 3-level hierarchy with a maximum number of four 2nd-level sections. You can add as many links as you want under each 2nd-level section

Drag the items in admin/structure/menu/manage/main-menu to reflect a hierarchy like this

• Cameras (1st level item)
  • By Brand (2nd level item -> maximum 6 of these)
    • Sony (3d level item -> unlimited)
    • Canon
    • Nikon
    • Olympus
  • By Category
    • Reflex
    • Pont & Shoot
    • Medium Format
    • Micro 4:3
  • By Year
    • 2010
    • 2009
    • 2008
    • 2007

Keep in mind that you can't use long labels for the 2nd-level items.
Please note that megamenu is not supposed to work as a classic drop down menu, so you can't have a 1st-2nd level hierarchy

Alt class

If you want to open a panel on the left, simply choose the corresponding number in the combo box. For example if you want the fourth and the fifth link to open on the left, hold ctrl (or cmd) and press 4, 5

Accessibility and code semantincs settings

Do you want to use p tag for all the section titles that come before main site content?

According to WCAG2 you can't have a h2 heading before a h1 in the document structure. Choosing Yes the theme will try to comply with this requirement using a p tag for all the block titles that come before the main site content

Do you want to use h1 and h2 tags for site title and site slogan on the front page?

Once again this option is for the WCAG2 headings raccomandation. Choosing yes the theme will use the p tag for site title and site slogan on all the pages. If you choose NO, h1 and h2 tags will be used to improve SEO

Which tag do you want to use for menu section titles?

With this option you can choose the tags used to render the 1st level (es: cameras) and the 2nd level (es: By Brand) primary menu items. Screen readers will by happy with headings (h2 and h3) but WCAG2 headings raccommandation may fail so it's up to you.

String Settings

text of the sticky icon

This is the text used to print the sticky icon aside the title of "Sticky at top of lists" nodes

text of the top bar slide button

This is the text used for the topbar pull link at the top of the template

text of opened top bar slide button

This is the text used for the topbar link when it's opened

CSS3 settings

Do you want to use css3 effects?

If you choose yes, the theme will load the modernizer library and two stylesheets
css3/css3.css and css3/css3_graphics.css3 to use nice css3 effects. This effects will make the theme more pro-looking. The modernizer library (http://www.modernizr.com/) checks current browser against upcoming css3 features and adds a class to the html element to style the supported features. Browser that don't support these features won't show the effects (progressive enhancement)

Do you want to use css3 font face embedding? (experimental)

One of the coolest css3 features is the font embedding. If you choose yes some fonts will be loaded to render some titles of the template. Keep in mind that font embedding may slow page loading. Furthermore some combination of browser/OS may not support these fonts. Due to license issues the theme doesn't include the extra fonts. Follow this steps to activate the required fonts
