Style Explanation
In version 0.0.3 we provide new Style option, there are 3 style you can choose:
Default
Classic
Modern
Default
This is just a basic style, the posts list style follow your theme stylesheet.
Classic
Classic style is a basic style with some little improvement, it adds a nice border bottom to each list to seperate them and change the font color and size of the post meta and excerpt. This style works with whatever setting you choose, either small thumbnail or big thumbnail with centered position.
Modern
Modern style adds a nice opacity to the thumbnail and display the title on the corner of the thumbnail. This style only works perfectly with some condition, if you want to get the best result please follow below steps:
Switch the Thumbnail Size to medium
Only display the title, please uncheck another data such as date, comment count, author, etc.
Remove everything inside the Custom CSS box.
Switch the Style option to Modern
Done!
