The home page is divided into 5 widgetized stripes. Via the WordPress theme customizer you can specify a range of colors such as the background; the header background; secondary navigation background; menu hovers; footer background; and accents for links, numeric pagination, and menu items assigned the highlight class.
Author Pro also introduces the Genesis Author Pro plugin, which adds a custom post type for books and can be used with any Genesis child theme. It supports adding book details, multiple authors, book series, tags specific to the custom post type, and up to 3 buttons (link and link text) for each book.
The screenshot below illustrates how home page widget areas are presented based on the number of widgets placed into those widget areas. Note that every row doesn’t contain the same number of widgets, even though the overall width of each row is the same. In the unlikely event you place more than 9 widgets into a single widget area, each will use about 1/3 of the maximum width.

Author Pro also includes code and scripts that add features, including:
- shrinking the site header from 120 to 70 px when a visitor scrolls down the page, thereby exposing more content
- removing the output of navigation extras
- relocating both the primary and secondary navigation menus
Introduced on 4/16/15, Author Pro is a 2 column theme with 3 layout options. Three of the 6 standard Genesis layout options have been removed to simplify content creation. The theme includes a landing page template. Beyond the WordPress standards of custom menus and threaded comments, the Author Pro theme also supports custom headers, custom backgrounds, and a mobile specific menu.
Author Pro also supports Google web fonts (specifically Lato). The theme also loads dashicons.
