The "From" option is the Top part of it and the "To" option is the bottom one. If you set both of the color options exact same it can be used as a Solid background color as well. You can choose 2 different colors for the background to form a gradient color palette. If you choose to hide, the option "Hero Background Colour" will be used as the background color. If you allow the featured image to show, the featured image added to the page will act as the Hero Background image. If you keep it off by setting it to "no" a new option will appear "Show Featured Image in Page Content". If you turn it on, the featured image of the page will show as the Hero Image on the front end of your page. The first option we're going to take a look at is "Use Featured Image as Hero Image". This section has the exact same settings of our Blog Post Hero section under Appearance > Theme Options > Blog > Blog Posts Hero. You can choose, either you want a left sidebar, right sidebar or no sidebar at all for your pages. Page Layout section is right below the General Section of Page Settings. Note: These options are global for all of your pages, NOT for an individual page. When you check these options this is how it should look.

This is how it looks when the Date/Author are unchecked and hidden.

What it does is display or hide the Date and Author of a Page Hero section based on your selection. General is the first section we're going to talk about in the Pages Setting. You'll find it on WordPress dashboard's Appearance > Theme Options > Pages. SmartTheme Page Settings is the place where you can change a wide range of options for your pages in your Website.
