Personalizing Your Store: Colors, Fonts, Banners and Favicon
A strong, consistent look builds trust. LaunchMyStore lets you tune every visual aspect of your storefront from one place — Theme Customizer 2.0 — without writing CSS.
Opening the customizer
Go to Online Store → Themes and click Customize on the theme you want to edit.
Promotional banners
Banners are the first thing visitors see. They're great for announcing a sale, a new collection, or a free-shipping promotion.
- In the customizer sidebar, click the hero / slideshow section (or add one from the section gallery).
- Click + Add slide for each banner you want to show.
- For each slide, set:
- Image — upload or pick from the Media library. Desktop image is shown on wide screens; you can optionally provide a separate mobile image for a tighter mobile crop.
- Heading and body text.
- Button label and link — use the resource picker to link to a product, collection, blog post, or page.
- Set autoplay speed and transition style at the section level.
The exact recommended pixel dimensions are shown next to the image picker for the section you're editing — this varies by theme, but a safe default is around 1920×800 for desktop banners.
Fonts and colors
Open Theme settings (gear icon).
- Typography — pick a heading font and a body font from the type picker. The picker offers 20+ web-safe and Google Fonts options.
- Color schemes — LaunchMyStore uses named schemes (e.g. Background 1, Background 2, Inverse) rather than scattered color pickers. Set the background, text, accent, button background, and button text for each scheme once; every section then picks a scheme to use.
This means changing your brand's primary color updates buttons, links, and accents everywhere at once.
Logo and favicon
Both live in the header section / theme settings:
- Logo — uploaded image shown in the header. Provide a transparent PNG or SVG that works on light and dark backgrounds. You can also set a logo width and a separate mobile logo if needed.
- Favicon — the small icon shown in the browser tab. Recommended: 32×32 PNG.
Mobile-specific tweaks
The device toggle at the top of the customizer (desktop / tablet / mobile) shows exactly how each change looks on smaller screens. Most sections expose extra controls for the mobile layout — e.g. number of columns, slide-to-show count, hide-on-mobile toggles.
Saving your changes
Click Save to keep your work as a draft on this theme. Click Publish to push the changes live. You can revert to an earlier published version from the theme actions menu.
FAQ
Can I have separate banners for mobile and desktop?
Yes. Every image slot in the slideshow section accepts an optional mobile image; if you set one, it's used on phones and the desktop image is shown elsewhere.
Will my changes survive a theme update?
All theme settings (colors, fonts, sections, blocks) are stored in config/settings_data.json. When you update or reinstall the same theme, your saved settings are preserved.
Can I use a custom font that isn't in the picker?
Yes. Open the code editor and add a @font-face rule in your theme's CSS, then reference the font family in the typography setting. Power users only.
Where can I see the recommended logo and favicon sizes?
Each image picker shows the recommended dimensions next to the upload button, based on the theme you have installed.
How do I add my brand color to buttons without breaking the rest of the design?
Edit the relevant color scheme in Theme settings → Colors. Change the button background on the scheme used by your buttons — the change applies everywhere consistently.
