Coffeehouse 2.0 released

K. Heide The ‘Coffeehouse’ template has been re-released to take full advantage of the upgrades that have occured within the Squarespace system since its original creation date.
Three new styles have been added: Cinnamon Chai, Green Tea With Lemon and Caramel Frappé. The original Espresso style has been revised, with some of the previous color elements now applied to the new style Caramel Frappé.
Content Padding has been changed to Column Padding in the Style Settings area, and now applies to the top and sides of the Canvas element (as it does in the newer templates.) Please note that when you upload a banner, the inner margin will line up with the left of your menus and the right of your content, for consistency.
High customizations have been removed, such as the use of lowercase styles in the menu and site title, which caused some headaches for people who had to create a new style just to remove the customization.
Other revisions include:
· Updated margins and padding to avoid collapsing
· Customizable elements now have names logical/consistent with newer templates
· Consistent use of borders between elements
· Adjustment to the sidebar and content to ensure proper vertical alignment
· Padding added to the bottom of the H3 element to avoid “sandwiching”
· Default icon set changed to small icons
· Amazon item description style adjusted to line up with preview image
If you are currently using Coffeehouse, you will need to manually switch to the new layout to take advantage of these upgrades. Do this cautiously, as you will lose any custom settings you have created.
