Starting from version 3.7.0, the Wright framework now allows you customize colors directly from the Joomla admin area.
This means now you can change the default color scheme to whatever you wish. Plus, all our Joomla templates will have the same feature.
We've resisted adding this feature in the past because we wanted to keep Wright as lightweight as possible. However, we listen to Joomlashack customers and this is a frequently requested feature. We will continue to expand on this feature in the next few weeks and months,

Say Hello to Shack Analytics, the Newest Extension at Joomlashack
- Written by Steve Burge Steve Burge
- Published: 11 February 2019 11 February 2019
We're delighted to release Shack Analytics for Joomlashack users.
Shack Analytics is a single extension to manage all the analytics code on your sites.
Joomla site owners often have scripts such as Google Analytics, Adwords, Clicky, Facebook, MailChimp, and other sites. But those scripts are always hidden away inside random modules, plugins or template files.
Shack Analytics allows you to see all your analytics on a single screen. This is the same philosophy that inspired OSMeta. We want to make life easier for you by gathering everything in one easy-to-find location.
Shack Analytics makes it easy to assign analytics to your whole site, but you can also choose specific pages or menu links. This means that Shack Analytics is excellent for targeting specific landing pages or "Thank You" screens.

Why are these articles locked and what does "Checked Out" mean? We'll answer that question in this blog post.
