Select your active theme (if you have more than one) by going to Themes > Theme Name [Active] and click on CSS Settings in the left menu bar to access this area. One of the most unique features of the Theme Designer is the powerful, yet easy to master Colors, Fonts and Layout editor. This editor lets you manage complex Cascading Style Sheet (CSS) design classes without needing to know how it works. Yet, it is flexible in that it offers a Custom field for advanced designers with CSS knowledge to plug in their exact settings for ultimate control.
Every piece of HTML in the AmeriCommerce system has a unique CSS Class name. This means you can tweak every piece of your store's design in an extremely fine-grained manner.
Upon clicking on the name of the item you wish to edit, a form appears which allows you to define the most commonly used attributes, such as Font, Color, Size, Weight, Width, etc.
Override Default
When un-checked, the Override Default checkbox will inherit settings that AmeriCommerce has deemed most appropriate for that particular item. This assures that if you started with a blank theme, your site will have some default formatting applied, so it will appear organized and neat out of the box. You cannot edit any values on the form while the Override Default checkbox is un-checked.
When you check the box, the form becomes editable, allowing you to override these default settings. To undo your changes and return to the default look, simply un-check the Override Default checkbox and click Save, and the defaults will be re-loaded.
Custom Field
So you want complete control, or the standard settings aren't enough for you? Perhaps you already have classes from a designer that you wish to apply? No problem! Simply type or paste your CSS settings into the Custom field (at the bottom of the page) and they will be added. If anything you add to this field can fit into one of the standard settings, once you save they will be moved out of Custom and into the appropriate form field. |
