1) To build same Hero Slider that is provided in Dispatch site library
2) To build on homepage same styles on post listing like is show on Dispatch site library
how can I do this? Please provide detail on explanation if possible.

Hi there,
Since Dispatch is a much more complicated site than Marketer so in this case I would recommend importing Dispatch instead and we can help you to achieve whatever you like about Marketer.
David actually explained everything about Dispatch in these articles as well:

Hello Leo,
Ok basically what I would like to tweak on Dispatch theme that Marketer theme has is the following:
1) To put same type of topmenu like on marketer which means fullwidth background and same hover effect on menu items
2) To put same type of footer like on marketer which means fullwidth background and same hover effect on menu items
3) On single post to show post content same way as on marketer which means same width that is showing on marketer, feature image size, fonts styles for title and for content as on marketer. I placed url of my site on private URL text box for you to see.
4) Same styles for sidebar widget on title and on font content
That would be what I would need for now, let me know when you check it out so, I restore backup for dispatch and make this changes to it.
1. Marketer is using this option: https://docs.generatepress.com/article/navigation-as-a-header/
There isn't any hover effect for the menu items in Marketer.
2. It's using this method:
https://docs.generatepress.com/article/footer-bar-widget-area/#adding-a-footer-menu
3. Markter is using a container width of 1100px with 70% content and 30% sidebar.
Title font size is 40px and font weight is 600 and system stack as font family.
You can inspect this by right click on the element use the browser inspect tool or start another staging site to import Marketer so you can copy the customizer settings.
4. Here is widget title:

Hello Leo,
I manage to do almost everything you say just a few things:
1) What is height on marketer top menu?
2) On single post on Dispatch how can I remove previous and next post that shows with feature image?
Thanks!
Also Leo one more point
3) How can I change on sidebar latests posts from dispatch the number of posts showing?
Thanks!
1) Marketer is using 60px as menu item height.
2) That's the custom post navigation hook:

3) That's controlled within WPSP:

Hello Leo,
I manage to do points 1 and 3 only having problem with point 2 really did not understand how I can disable this, can you please tell me more in detail where I can disable too?
Thanks!
Do you see an element called custom post navigation hook in the list of elements?
Also Leo on point 3 how I can change feature image size to width 300px and height 150px
Yes, founded I save it as draft so it unplublish and worked perfectly to disable it. Is it ok to unpublish it?
Thanks can you please tell me about on point 3 how I can change feature image size to width 300px and height 150px.
Thanks again
You can just remove the element if you are not using it.
As for image size, try this:
https://docs.wpshowposts.com/article/images-overview/#image-width-height
And also how can I place hover effect on this same latest posts on sidebar from point 3? Thanks
