How to specify the style / weight for Google Fonts?
By default, when you enter the name of a Google Font using the Page Attributes (for instance, "Open Sans"), only the Normal 400 style is loaded.

If you need several weights, you have to enter "Open Sans:300,400,700". This way, the three styles will be loaded.
Then, you'll need to go to the theme customizer and assign the appropriate weight to each text style (for instance, you can set the font weight of Heading 1 to 300, etc.).
Why do my background images get cut off?
By default, background images are meant to cover the whole slide area, so they might be cut off depending on the screen resolution (there are lots of screen resolutions and it's impossible to get the background to fit the same way on all computer screens).
If you change the size of your browser window, the background images will be resized to always fill the whole browser window. Obviously, if the image is not the same size as the broswer window, a part of the image will be cut off.
How do I prevent background images from being cut off?
If you want to prevent background images from being cut off, you can try the following:
1. First, disable parallax backgrounds by going to Page Attributes.
2. Go to Design -> Customize, and paste the following code into the "Custom CSS" field:
.lss-slide {
background-size: contain !important;
background-position: center;
}
Please note that this will force the image to fit inside the browser window. That means images will be as high and as wide as possible without being cut off (i.e. they will not be cut off to cover the whole background).
