I’m trying to customize background and other colors in Vantage Free. I read the instructions, but do not see any form of color picker under Appearance>Customize. In fact, all I see are customization buttons for:
Site Title and Tag Line
Navigation
Widgets
Static Front Page
It’s on a single testing site, in a multisite install.
Thanks…

Any chance of getting a reply????
As far as I know the colour customisation is a premium feature and you’ll have to do it using css. Unfortunately I can’t help you with that myself, I’m sure you’ll get help from the guys here though at some stage.
Thanks for posting the note. I was just hoping someone from support would describe how you pick colors. I haven’t found a reference that says that the described Appearance>Customize Color picker is only available in the premium version. It seems to be the answer to a number of questions about backgrounds, but does not make a distinction between Free and Premium. It would be nice to see the full list of what is included in Free and what is in Premium. A bit of a pain if support answers aren’t specific.

I understand, I’m not a premium member either and also awaiting reply from support. They have a rule to prioritize the questions written by premium members. I can only hope you get help soon!
Hi HunterGatherer
Very sorry about the late reply. As Alex mentioned we work through a prioritized forum queue, and unfortunately it’s taken us some time to get to your thread.

Alex is correct that this option is only available in the Premium version. We are working on building some comparison pages but you can find most of the information by viewing the summary’s in the Appearance->Theme Settings Pages.
Any major customizations you make to the free version of Vantage will need to be made using Custom CSS. If you do not already have a CSS editor I would recommend using this Plugin

We have developed this to replace the existing CSS Customizer we provide with our premium themes and give the free theme users something powerful to work with. If you watch the video you will see how easy it makes it to make your own alterations to the theme.
Let us know how you get on.
