Use the Theme settings to make changes to your online store's general styles and feature options that apply to your entire site.
Click the Theme Settings icon in the top-left corner of your theme editor. Use the settings for colors, fonts, and animations to change the general appearance of your text and images across your site.
You can also adjust the appearance and options for other sitewide elements like products, search, social media links, and the cart..
Theme styles
Context comes with multiple theme styles that you can apply to your store to achieve a particular look and feel. Each theme style is a set of pre-selected theme settings that configure sitewide colors, fonts, product options, and more.
Click on Theme settings and open Theme style to select a preset. When you click Save, the theme style will overwrite your current settings. We recommend that you duplicate your theme to save as a backup.
View our demo stores to preview each preset in action:
