Hey Chris,
I will go over the questions in the same order:
1). I’m not sure I understood what you meant by a beam – would you be able to post a screenshot or explain further? Thanks!
2). I’m planning to add these settings in the next Tokyo update; meanwhile it is possible to use CSS (adding it at the bottom of the theme’s “style.css” file):
.widget-sidebar .tagcloud a { color: #cccccc; }
.widget-sidebar .tagcloud a:hover { color: #cccccc; }
you can replace the #cccccc with any color you like (in a hex notation).
3). To disable all comments, please go to “Settings -> Discussion” admin section and untick the “Allow people to post comments on new articles” option.
Sincerely,
Andrii / Satori Studio
