1. Colors & Typography
Basically, you can choose between two color schemes for the light and dark theme modes. This lets you tweak the colors of different elements across the whole site, especially in sections where you haven't made specific changes. To make these adjustments, head over to Theme Settings, where you can handle both Color and Typography settings.
For more information on theme modes, check here: Header
a) Colors & Colors for the dark theme
Summary of color customization options:
- General Colors: These settings allow you to customize the overall appearance of your store by defining colors for various elements such as backgrounds, headings, titles, text, links, prices, error/success messages, borders, cart dots, and rating icons.
- Button Colors: Customizing button colors includes setting colors for primary and secondary buttons, as well as their hover states.
- Header Colors: Defining header colors involves adjusting the background, text, and line colors of the header section.
- Footer Colors: Adjusting footer colors includes setting the background, heading, title, text, links, and line colors of the footer.

You can also set up colors similarly for the dark theme.
b) Typography
Typography Customization:
- Body: Choose the font and base size for the main text to ensure readability and a consistent appearance across all text in the body of your website. The right font and size help in creating a pleasant reading experience for users.
- Headings:
- Select the font, base size, and text transform settings for headings to define how titles and section headers are displayed. This helps in establishing a clear visual hierarchy, making it easier for users to navigate and understand the content structure.
- The Heading Size configuration primarily controls the size of the H1 heading. Other heading tags (H2, H3, etc.) are automatically adjusted as a percentage relative to the H1 size. For example, if you set the H1 size to 100px, the H1 on your site will follow this setting, H1 is set to 170% of H2 in the theme logic.
- Each section within your theme has its own configuration for heading and text sizes. These are expressed as a percentage of the value selected in the main typography settings. Example: If this section has a heading size set to 50% and uses an H2 tag, the heading size for this section would be calculated as: 50% × (H1 Size/170%)~30px, with H1=100px, configured in Theme Settings > Typography > Headings.
- Others: Customize the fonts used for menu items and buttons to maintain a cohesive design that aligns with the overall style of your site.
In conclusion, by customizing both color and typography settings, you can create a visually cohesive and engaging experience for your store's visitors. These settings provide flexibility to enhance the overall aesthetic and usability of your store.
