Is there a way that front-end website users / visitors can change the theme color to their preference, without showing the CPanel, which in my opinion is kind of ugly.
I remember an old JA template I used for a website had 4 or 5 small icons, each icon of a specific color that the user could select, and their selection would be saved for them each time they visited the site. This was just a very small line of icons at the very top – I believe it had the option to change font size as well.
This was a very nice implementation of providing the color option. Is there anyway to do that with the JA Community Plus template (or any JAT3 theme)?

Thanks,
Craig

Hi tso2085,

For jat3 templates, all the font-end options (font-size, color, layout…etc) were changed via a concept name profile, there are no only color or font-size options as on old ja templates as you mentioned, if you want options like that i think you can copy it from an old template which has those options, you would need some coding skills to implement that.

Thanks Sherlock. If I make different profiles that would have different color schemes, is there a way (other than cPanel) to have the user invoke them? FYI – I was looking at JA Trona, and how it displays the colors on the drop-down cpanel. That looks nice.

Hi tso2085,

I am seeing that you are wanting to modify the cpanel look/view, Feel free to do it yourself, you can copy the folder of pluginssystemjat3jat3base-themesdefaultblocksusertools paste it to the template blocks folder of templatesyour_templateblocks
Then you open the file templatesyour_templateblocksusertoolscpanel.php to modify it as you wanted
