Regards: I'm curious about block styles in Drupal 7. i downloaded and implemented the template: multipurpose-zymphonies-theme to my site. On the demo for this template (http://demo.zymphonies.com/free-theme/multipurpose-zymphonies-theme/#) it shows nice looking blocks of content which when implemented on my site doesn't look near as on the demo site. My question is, I have to style the blocks or is a hidden feature on the theme?
Thanks, and sorry if my question is not relevant.

If you go to Structure > Blocks, you'll see three sections, First Top, Second Top, Third Top. Those the boxes they are using in the example. For the Icons, they are using Font Awesome, for example <i class="fa fa-sliders"></i> if paste in there will give you one of the icons they used (more here https://fortawesome.github.io/Font-Awesome/). The title of the block will become the bolded part and the block content will become everything below that.
Let me know if that helps.

16,593 PointsDo you have an example of what you have implemented? Sometimes when I run into this issue it is because I have to structure it exactly the same way they have (centering text, adding certain classes/styles) for it to apply correctly.

4,193 PointsRegards and thanks for your fast response: If you follow this pic: (https://www.dropbox.com/s/714anub6i1232j6/demo-site.png?dl=0) you will notice the blocks style on the demo-theme is very nice looking vs. when I implement a block on my site: (https://www.dropbox.com/s/118y68z0jx82mnt/my-site.png?dl=0) it looks very simple. You mentioned about adding certain classes/styles... is there a way to verify the theme classes and styles; and implement them on my site?
Thanks for your help!
