Your store's colors and typography are controlled globally: change them here and they'll update everywhere, across all pages at once.

Opening global design settings

In the design panel, click the settings icon to open global configuration in the configuration panel. Global configuration shows the Colors, Typography, and any other design settings supported by the active theme.

Click any setting to open it.

Colors

Option A: Pick colors manually

Each color variable has a swatch. To change one:

  1. Click the swatch.
  2. Use the color picker, or type in a hex code or RGB value directly.
  3. The preview updates immediately across all sections.

Colors are grouped by area of the store:

Option B: Generate a full palette with AI

If you want a cohesive palette without picking each color individually:

  1. In the Colors section configuration, click Generate with AI button.
  2. Describe the look you want. For example,
    1. "Warm and earthy: terracotta, cream, and olive"
    2. "Bold and modern: deep navy with gold highlights"
    3. "Clean and minimal, light gray with a teal accent"
    4. "Festive and celebratory: rich reds and deep greens"
  3. The AI generates several palette options. Each shows swatches mapped to your palette roles.
  4. Click Apply on the one you like.

Not happy with the options? Adjust your description and generate again: only Apply makes a change.

Tips

  • Run a contrast check between your Text and Background colors to ensure readability. Aim for a 4.5:1 ratio for body text (WCAG AA standard).
  • Keep Accent subtle; it's most effective when used sparingly to highlight key elements.

Note: AI-generated palettes and the theme's default colors are already designed to meet the WCAG AA contrast standard and keep accent usage balanced.

Typography

Typography settings control the fonts across the entire store. Three font roles are available:

  • Global Font — the default typeface used across the store.
  • Title Font — the typeface used for headings and titles. Overrides the Global Font for titles.
  • Body Font — the typeface used for body copy and paragraphs. Overrides the Global Font for body text.

Select a font from the dropdown for each role — the list includes all available Google Fonts. Changes apply store-wide immediately.

Other Theme Settings

The Settings tab in the design panel contains additional design controls. These settings are provided by the active theme and will vary depending on which theme is installed.
