Tags: Banner ExposureRoom Themes Website Navigation
|
What you get is the ability to choose between two primary themes (for now). We call these themes, “Original” and “Earth”. The Earth theme will be the default theme, meaning that new visitors will see this theme. Both visitors and members can choose a specific theme and from that point on, they’ll see ExposureRoom in that theme until they choose to change it. Within a theme, you can choose between fonts as well as the font size. We think this will satisfy almost all members/visitors, and we really hope you like the new look.

As another way to see the assets on ExposureRoom we thought members/visitors might like to see assets that are "Now Playing". This feature allows assets to pop back into the limelight as it doesn't matter how long ago the asset was uploaded. If someone is watching it, it will show up on this page. No, we don't tell you who's watching it :)
