<h3>Style Explanation</h3>
<p>There are 3 style you can choose:</p>
<ul>
<li>Default</li>
<li>Classic</li>
<li>Modern</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Default</strong><br />
This is just a basic style, the posts list style follow your theme stylesheet.</p>
<p><strong>Classic</strong><br />
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.</p>
<p><strong>Modern</strong><br />
Modern style adds a nice opacity to the thumbnail and display the title on the corner of the thumbnail. This style <strong>only</strong> works perfectly with some condition, if you want to get the best result please follow below steps:</p>
<ul>
<li>Switch the <strong>Thumbnail Size</strong> to <em>medium</em></li>
<li><strong>Only</strong> display the title, please uncheck another data such as <strong>date</strong>, <strong>comment count</strong>, <strong>author</strong>, etc.</li>
<li>Remove everything inside the <strong>Custom CSS</strong> box.</li>
<li>Switch the Style option to <strong>Modern</strong></li>
<li>Done!</li>
</ul>
<p>Please open the <strong>Screenshot</strong> tab above to see the style design.</p>
