• Cosmos

  • New Playful style preset: Bring personality to your shop with web fonts Doto and Source Code Pro.

• Luna

  • Announcement bar color settings: You can now choose a distinct color for the announcement bar instead of being limited to the secondary color, offering greater design flexibility.

  • Bigger logo options: Added XL and XXL sizes for the header logo, addressing a long-standing request by our sellers. No need for custom CSS, huzzah!

  • Homepage slideshow autoplay and speed controls: A long-requested feature, you can now enable autoplay and adjust slideshow speed (speed options range from Slowest to Fastest).

    • Note: Autoplay is off by default due to accessibility concerns but can be enabled if it fits your shop’s needs.
