Getting Started with Advanced Themer - My recommended Theme Settings (Part 2)

[@hamburger--fries]

So exciting! I was so excited for this video I could hardly sleep!!!!

This was super helpful to understand compatibility and best practices.

I love how flexible and customisable Advanced Themer is. It works awesome both with a framework or without one. It’s an essential part of all my Bricks websites and I am happy to have the lifetime license 🤩

[@klmbr9397]

Why would we wanna use a framework anymore ? Its all in AT now… Great product! I just bought the lifetime license. Thank you so much! Just one thing, i’m using the grid builder, setting up the columns for all breakpoints but its not creating the media queries in the css. The grid is not responsive. What did i miss ? Thank you!

[@AdvancedThemer]

Did you make sure your inner grid items are correctly resized to fit the number of columns. Let say you have an item set span from col 3 to 5, it will force the grid to 4 columns even if you set them to 3. If that doesn’t help, drop me a support email with access to the builder, I’ll check what’s going on 👍

We hope one day be a pro using advanced themer.

I'm confused, at @21:25 you say that AT's suggestion dropdown can suggest styles and variables from 'external stylesheets'. Can you please point me to where this is configured? Also, you never mentioned dark / light mode functionality between AT and a framework. There has to be some issues with functionality since the dark / light mode functionality has to call on a color scheme. If a person uses ACSS colors but uses AT's light / dark scheme functionality, how would that even work?

[@maximebeguin4346]

1) there is no need for any specific configuration for that. It applies automatically when you activate the feature. 2) i don’t mention it because the colors aren’t set inside the backend. I’m only focusing on the theme settings in this serie. Anyway there are no conflict with both color-schemes since both use the prefers-color-scheme query. The only thing that won’t work for both automatically is the dark/light toggle. That could be easily improved though.

[@antonichristian5845]

What would be nice would be a toggle switch inside of AT that when certain frameworks are enabled it disables all the functions you talk about in this video, saves doing it manually.

[@IssaKhlief]

Thank you, this is such needed. How about AutoBEM between AT and ACSS, which one works better? Any conflict between both? Also is it possible to export the settings and make it available to import?

[@AdvancedThemer]

1) the class converter is more feature-packed than autobem from ACSS. You can “bemify” multiple components in a single click, export and erase ID styles, and be ran multiple times on same elements to update new id styles to the classes, it supports the class category from the class manager, and correctly rename the %root% declarations in custom css. 2) yup, you can do that inside the theme settings -> global settings -> export & import

[@John.Rearden]

Glad you highlighted that using a framework is not necessary, else the narrative being promoted is that pros use frameworks and chumps don’t use it! Haha
