"Fonts and Colors" Is Now The "Advanced" Menu In The Template Designer

During the months when the Template Designer was a Draft Blogger feature, we saw a few reports from bloggers who tried to use the "Fonts and Colors" wizard to make changes to a blog with a Designer template - or tried to use the Template Designer to make changes to a blog with a Layouts template. Since the CSS rules used in Designer templates are significantly different from those in Layout templates, this was a source of a few problems.

As part of adding the Template Designer to Production Blogger, Blogger has removed "Fonts and Colors", and has made the Advanced menu in Template Designer sensitive to Designer vs Layout CSS differences. Now, you use Template Designer for all Fonts and Colors changes to blogs with a Layout template, as well as to blogs with a Designer template.


There's no No Fonts and Colors wizard, so how do I make changes to my Layout template?



Apparently, using the Template Designer!



Looks like it works!



Now, if you are using the Advanced menu, and find that you don't care for the way the various settings are grouped, or would like additional controls, you can add settings, or shuffle settings around - on a blog by blog basis.
