 ## Options
 
-To use the bright header, you can set `brightheader = true` in the `params` section of your config.
+In the `params` section of your config, you can enable a dark header style with `darkheader = true` and [icon](https://fontawesome.com/icons) support with `fontawesome = true` - which can be used by adding `pre` entries to your site's [menu](https://gohugo.io/content-management/menus/). The site title in the header can also be hidden with `hidetitle = true`.
+
+## Sidebar
+
+Instead of the horizontal menu, a sidebar can be enabled with `sidebar = true`. See [here](https://niklasbuschmann.github.io/contrast/) for an example of the sidebar in action.
+
+An example configuration could look like this:
+
+```yaml
+params:
+  sidebar = true
+  fontawesome = true
+  description = 'Made by <a href="">John Doe</a>'
+
+menu:
+  main:
+  - identifier = "home"
+    name = "Home"
+    url = "/"
+    weight = 1
+    pre = "<span class='fas fa-home'></span>"
+  - identifier = "about"
+    name = "About"
+    url = "/about/"
+    weight = 2
+    pre = "<span class='fas fa-address-card'></span>"
+  external:
+  - identifier = "github"
+    name = "Github"
+    url = "https://github.com/"
+    weight = 3
+    pre = "<span class='fab fa-github'></span>"
+  - identifier = "feed"
+    name = "Subscribe"
+    url = "/index.xml"
+    weight = 4
+    pre = "<span class='fas fa-rss'></span>"
+```
