U Control the basics

August 26, 2015 By Philip Gledhill

The U-Control button helps you style your Dynamik Website Builder website and it’s content quickly and easily.

Using U-Control…

  • You find the U-Control button by going to the WordPress Dashboard → Genesis → Dynamik Design
  • Then click the U-Control button at the top of the page.
  • U-Control is a toggle button, so clicking the button once activates U-Control. Clicking the U-Control button a second time takes you back to the normal Dynamik Design interface.

There are four main options inside U-Control…

  • Fonts – Backgrounds – Borders – Margins/Padding

Once you’ve chosen one of these basic settings you can include or exclude the different sections of your site. This lets you target just the elements you want to change. Such as the header, footer or sidebars etc.

The U-Control font options have an extra setting not available in the backgrounds, borders or margins settings. You can choose to make changes to all fonts or just heading fonts or just content fonts. This is a really useful feature.

Using U-Control and drilling down to specific sections of your site makes styling your site much quicker and easier to understand.

But be careful, you can easily make sweeping changes that affect your entire site. This is great if that’s what you want to do. But not so good if you change things by mistake.

If you haven’t tried U Control yet, give it a go it really is a game changer!
