Looks pretty. Could it be configured without the splash page, with the most recent post as the home page – with the featured image full frame?

  Sure, you can assign a different page (posts and page have same featured image full frame effect) by visiting the Settings -> Reading -> Front Page Displays -> Static Front Page.

Hello, it’s precious! Is it fully responsive? We need a theme that works on mobile devices too. (please say yes, we love it)

You realize this is homepage is unusable on PC with a mouse? Scrolling with the mouse scroller moves about 3 pixels at once.

Wondering how to set and get the same image sizes as in the demo (e.g. vertical image)…

I love this theme, however I find it a bit annoying that there is a color filter over the photographs (when looking at them in the horizontal scrolling part). Is it possible to remove this filter?

Hi, I just got EXPO. It is crazy. The images are out of proportion and blurry. I need help ASAP

This is gorgeous! Wondering too about the color filter over the images in the scrolling portion of the page. Is there also a way to add a small menu across the top, rather than it being in the hidden dropdown? Considering this for my photography site and have a feeling that many potential clients may not know how to expand the menu.

Hi! I know these comments are quite old now, but did anyone have a way to remove that color filter than others here mentioned?
