Layout & Color Themes
This screen lets you choose a theme for your store.
A theme gives your store a consistent look and feel by setting a
standard page layout and color scheme. When you pick a theme, all
the existing pages in your store take on that page layout and
color scheme, and any new pages that you create after picking a
theme use the page layout and colors of the theme.
Most themes are available in a variety of color
schemes.
- Look through the list of themes; the current theme
is presented at the top, followed by all other themes organized
into three categories: Featured Themes (themes that ShopSite is
promoting), More Themes (all themes that are neither "Featured"
nor "Legacy"), and Legacy Themes (older themes that may not
support all of the newest features). Your goal should be to find
a layout (don't worry about
colors yet) you like for your pages.
- Click on the thumbnail image to select a theme. This will
open a popup with of an example store page using the selected
theme.
- Use the links to the right to select a Color Scheme for the
theme. The image will change to reflect
the selected Color Scheme. You can also click the Shopping Cart and Store Page links to switch between examples of the
shopping cart and the store page.
- You can cycle through the themes by clicking the arrows that appear to the sides of the Store Page and Shopping Cart examples.
- Once you have settled on a theme and color scheme you like,
click Use this Theme to set the theme throughout your store.
You will need to republish your store to see the changes
reflected on your site.
- You can cycle through the themes by clicking the arrows that appear to the sides of the Store Page and Shopping Cart examples.
- Click the "CLose this Window" link or click the "X" in the top right of the window to close the popup.
Note: Some themes may change the default image sizes. If your
image sizes change when you select a new theme, they can be set
back on a product-by-product or power edit basis.
You can see how templates interact with ShopSite's built-in
themes and see more information about each theme within the ShopSite
Custom Template Cookbook.
