Ecommerce Online Store - Design - Colors, Fonts, and General Style Settings
Overview
The Colors, Fonts, and General Style Settings page allows you to specify a whole range of fonts, colors, and other aspects of the way your storefront is displayed. While the selected theme determines the default settings for these options, you can change them, if desired, by selecting a new color, font, or size.
Colors
The Colors tab contains a list of all available colors on the storefront. To change a color, either enter the Hex code or click to select a color from the color chooser on the right. Once selected, click Save to apply to the storefront.
Note: The default colors depend entirely on the selected theme for your site design. If you choose a new theme, your default color selections will change.
Fonts
The Fonts tab is broken into several sections, each of which can be controlled by a single font setting. In addition, there are all-encompassing font settings for every category of font, as well as a setting that can change all fonts on the site at once.
Every customizable font is controlled by drop-down options. From these drop-downs, the following items can be changed.
Font: Arial, Arial Black. Courier New, Garamond, Georgia, Impact, Lucida Console, Palatino Linotype, Tahoma, Times New Roman, Trebuchet, Verdana.
Font Size: Enter a value and select from em, %, px, or pt. Additional options are bold, italic, normal, bold italic, underline, or strikethrough.
Font Color: The HTML code for the color can be entered or the color can be selected from a color chooser on the far right.

General Style Settings
There are four areas of the storefront which can contain custom images. Once an image is uploaded from a local machine, it can be positioned and tiled if desired.
The column widths can be set as a fixed pixel width or a percentage under the Width & Alignment section. Click the drop-down button to switch between pixels (px) and percentage (%). The image below depicts the default values for your site.
There are several ways in which you can specify how your site will be displayed. Choose between the percentage based width, a pixel width, an 'em' width, or a 'pt' width. While the pixel is a specific number, the percentage takes its number from the total space available.
For example, if the main table width is 100%, it is at its maximum size for the web page, which will size it as the browser gets bigger or smaller. However, a pixel width will keep the size at that specific width, no matter the size of the browser.
