    • Search bar style fullscreen on Ascend, full width but constrained to the height of your header navigation on the on Original
    • Form Styling Inputs are shown only with outlines for a minimal look on Ascend.
    • Theme icon styling Icons in the header for search, shopping cart, and off canvas nav in addition to arrow icons through the theme in controls/pagination are thinner and more consistent in Ascend.
  • Button Styling This will change the general button styling on your site. Note that specific nectar button styles in the Salient visual composer builder will override this option. e.g. Some 3D animated buttons will not change to a rounded style.
  •  Theme Icon Style Sets the global styling for theme icons used for menu icons such as shopping cart, search and theme elements such as nectar love, portfolio single navigation etc.
  • Overall Background Color Sets the background color of the website content area that will be seen throughout your website
