Open 'Advanced settings' tab in 'Diazo theme' panel. In 'Parameter expressions' field replace default values for the following parameters to modify:
- column width: update values for columnonewidth and columntwowidth (numbers only)
- links colors: update values for links_color, hover_links_color, and visited_links_color (be carefull to insert valid css colors instead of default ones)
- slogan: update text for site_description, replace default slogan 'Free Theme for Plone' with a new one.
- In case Schools theme gets broken after your modifying the above parameters - reinstall the theme to revert to default parameters.
