Manage Site Style, Background, and Colors
Click the Administration button in the Menu Bar. Then click Manage Site Style,
Background, and Colors. Take a moment to browse the form. Like other capabilities, you can always
come back to this form and make changes, instantly. There are some settings we recommend
that you verify or set now.
Color Scheme
GroveSite has several preprogrammed color schemes: Corporate Blue, Steel Blue, Red and Black, Maroon and Grey, and Green.
Each has two main colors, affecting the Menu Bar buttons, the Site Navigation area, the borders, and some headings.
You can click on each color scheme, then click the Save button to view your site in those colors.
You can also customize your colors by selecting Custom colors in the Color Scheme box.
Then try out different colors by clicking on the color you wish in the Color Picker
chart. Again, once you take the time to tailor a color scheme for your organization, you will be
able to save those site settings later and make them your default for other group websites.

Font style
You may select other font groups to be used in item headings, subheadings, etc. We recommend you leave the
defaults initially, and come back to this setting in the future if you want to change the fonts in your website.
At that time, you may select from GroveSite's several choices, or choose custom fonts and define these in the
form.

Advanced Settings
- Site Top Background File Background files are displayed behind other text or images. If you loaded a logo file, you will probably
not want to have a background file. One good use of a background file is for an image that is designed
to fit the entire top space. An image approximately 75-100 pixels high and 700 pixels wide fits best.
- Overall Site Width If your site is too wide, the page will not fit on some
monitors, and your users will have to scroll sideways. If you set your overall site width to
700 pixels, the site should display well on any screen. This may not be wide enough for some
applications, but it is a good starting point. You can also set the site width to 100%. The
screen displayed will then adjust based on the user’s browser/monitor. However, as you are
creating pages and posting content, you may not be able to predict how the page will look on
every user’s monitor. Does it look good on both 800 pixel monitors and 1100 pixel monitors?
- Navigation width This determines the width of the left hand Site Navigation bar.
We recommend entering about 20-25%.
- Expand Use the checkbox to expand table pages to 95% for the main content area.
Table pages include project plans, file libraries, and database pages.
- Printer Friendly Use this checkbox to show a printer friendly icon on each page.
If a user clicks this icon, the page will be displayed in a format that can be printed.
