Hi Luci,
I’m glad you’re enjoying Dyad. ?? If you’re still in the process of getting comfortable with how child themes work then I recommend the following talk, which gives a good overview:
1) How do I change the font, specifically the title font at the very top (in the faded grade horizontal bar)
What font are you trying to change that text to? Depending on whether the font is already included in the theme, you could use some custom CSS.
CSS can be added directly to your child theme’s style.css file and the following would change your title’s font to Helvetica:
.site-title {
font-family: Helvetica;
}
2) How do I make the social media symbols appear anywhere on the page?
This would depend on where you’re attempting to reposition the symbols.
Some custom CSS may be suitable for smaller changes to the positioning but it would be better to edit your HTML/PHP template files for larger changes.
If you can clarify where you’d like the symbols to appear, I can guide you from there.
3) How do I make the other menus appear in the top right hand corner? I only have one appearing currently
I’m not clear on what you’re referring to by “the other menus.” Could you please provide a link to your site and point me to what you’re referring to? I’m currently being redirected to a landing page when visiting liscluci.com. If that’s your site, please consider making it public.
By default, new pages should automatically appear in that top right menu. If they don’t, then it may be because a custom menu is active. If that’s the case, navigate to Appearance > Menus in your admin area and then add new pages to your menu from the left hand of the page.
You can read a little more guidance on custom menus here:

4) How can I change the color of some of the small details– like the features bar at the top and the little camera circle symbols (from yellow to another color)?
The colours can be changed with CSS.
The following snippet would change the background of the features bar to purple (#663399) and keep the text on top of it white (#fff):
.site-banner-header .banner-featured {
background: #663399;
color: #fff;
}
You can change the value of #663399 and #fff to any colour codes of your choice. If you’d like to experiment with different colours, try a few Google searches to get a list of HEX codes and their corresponding values. Here’s an example of a site that I’ve used before:
https://www.color-hex.com/
Similarly, the colour of the camera symbols can be changed with the following:
.posts .entry-inner:before {
color: #663399;
}
If you’re curious about how I’m finding the above CSS: I’m using my browser’s built in tools to look at the theme’s CSS and experiment with changes. We have guidance and video walk throughs of how you can make use of your own browser’s tools here:

Hope that’s helpful! Let me know the answers to the questions I asked and I can help further from there too.
