Color Palettes

CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) control the entire website. All font and background colors are controlled through the foundation.min.css, css/style.css, and css/custom.css files.

  • Foundation is a css framework and loaded from a CDN. There's a copy of it css/foundation.css. Changing this file does not effect the website.
  • Style.css holds all the styling for CFWebstore. Try not to make changes to this file.
  • Custom.css is a blank file that allows you modify your store. Try to add all your changes here.
    NOTE: We've added a bunch of common changes to custom.css. They're commented out so they don't effect your site unless you un-comment them.

I don't do CSS, what now?
Palettes are used to define the colors used for your design in the store. You can set up as many different palettes as you want to and use them for various pages throughout the store. A palette willl override the css in foundation.min.css and style.css. Custom.css will override the palette.

If you created a new palette to use for your store default, be sure to also update your Main Settings to use it.

The Palettes list includes a link to Copy an existing palette, so you can duplicate all the current colors and make a few changes to create a new layout.

Color Picker
When you click the color picker you get a pop-up with three things:

  • Color Palette - these are default colors that will look good on the store (think buttons).
  • HEX - you can specify the hexidecimal color
  • No Color - the little box with an X means no color is specified. This is the default color choice for new stores.

 

LAYOUT

  • Palette Name: Name used to refer to this palette in the admin area.
  • Layout File: Custom layout, if any, to use with this palette. See the custom layout section below for more information.
  • Parameters: For more advanced CFWebstore developers, this allows you to send custom parameters to a layout page, to do things like swap header images, etc. This allows you to easily use a single cfm template for multiple store palettes.
  • Width: This choice allows for boxed or full width. Boxed is a centered area with sides that a background can be applied. Full width has the page stretch across the full browser width with no background.
