Project settings hold what applies to the whole theme: its name and version, how many posts a page lists, how dates look, and a few features of post pages. With your project open in the editor, open them in one of three ways:
Click the sliders icon, Project settings, in the narrow column of icons at the left edge of the editor.
Click the project's name at the top of the right sidebar.
The name on your dashboard and at the top of the editor, up to 60 characters. Only you see it.
Theme name
The name Ghost lists the theme under, with fantasma- in front: meridian-notes shows in Ghost as fantasma-meridian-notes. Fantasma first takes it from the project name. As you type, capitals turn lowercase and any character other than letters, numbers and hyphens is dropped. The fantasma- part stays. When another project uses the same name, a note under the field says so. Publishing either of two projects with the same theme name replaces the other in Ghost. After you change it, the next publish adds a theme with the new name in Ghost and makes it the active one; the theme with the old name stays in Ghost's list until you delete it there.
Version
The version Ghost shows for the theme: Fantasma's version and a build number, such as 2.0.0-1. Fantasma sets it, and you cannot edit it. The build number goes up when you publish or download a theme that changed since the last one.
Images
Under Usage. How many images are uploaded to the project, out of 50.
Fonts
Under Usage. How many font families are stored in the project, uploaded or copied from Google Fonts, out of 8.
Duplicate project
Under Project. Makes a copy of the project, listed on your dashboard, the page with all your projects.
Move to trash
Under Project. Moves the project to the trash after you confirm. You can restore it from the dashboard for 14 days. The theme already in Ghost stays there. Delete or restore a project
