BindTuning themes let you manage your intranet's design efficiently. You can set up central theme settings, like from a "Hub site," so all your SharePoint sites share a consistent look. This keeps your brand uniform and makes theme management easier across your whole digital workplace.
The Challenge: Consistent look vs. unique needs
While having one central design keeps things consistent, sometimes a specific site needs its own touch. Maybe a team site needs its sidebar navigation to look different or be in another spot, even if it's mostly inheriting settings from the main site. The problem is, making these small, local changes.
The Solution: Flexible inheritance
To fix this, BindTuning themes offer "variable form inheritability." This smart feature lets you selectively turn off inheritance for certain parts of your theme settings. So, you can change the navigation, colors, or fonts on just one site without breaking the inherited design for the rest. It gives you precise control—global consistency where you want it, and local flexibility where you need it.
How to override inherited theme settings
You can easily override inherited settings for different parts of your theme. Let's use the Navigation settings as an example.
Open the BindTuning Settings Panel.
In the panel, go to "Navigation".
Inheritance is enabled
Inheritance is disabled
If your site is inheriting settings from the hub site, you'll see a checkbox ("Inherit settings from hub site"). Click it to disable inheritance for just this section. This "unlocks" these settings for local changes.
Now you can modify the settings in this section however you like.
