  • Heading tag: Select the HTML heading tag (H1, H2, H3, etc.) for SEO and accessibility purposes

  • Heading font size: Customize the font size of your heading to ensure it stands out while maintaining readability across all devices

  • Subheading: Add a short introductory text below the heading to provide context, helping visitors understand their value

  • Subheading size: Adjust the font size of the description text to make it easy to read without overpowering the main heading

2.3.2. Options for collection items

  • Select collection list: Link this section to a collection list created within the Shopify admin. This will determine the collections and their display order in the tabs.

  • Content font weight: Adjust the font weight for the titles and descriptions (if any) of the collection items within the tabs (Regular, Medium, Semibold, Bold)

  • Enable uppercase text: Activate this option to display all titles of the collection tabs in uppercase. This can create a strong visual style and attract attention.

  • Image ratio: Define the display aspect ratio for the representative images of the collections within the tabs (e.g., Auto, Square, Custom). Selecting an appropriate ratio ensures visually appealing and consistent image rendering

  • Full image: Enable this option to ensure the entire frame of the collection's representative image is displayed without any cropping. This is particularly important if you want to convey the full details of the image.

2.3.3. Options for layout section

  • Enable section full width: This toggle switch, when turned on, will make the entire section span the full width of the browser window. When turned off, the section will likely be constrained to the website's main content width.

  • Color scheme: This dropdown menu allows you to select a predefined color scheme for the section. Clicking the dropdown will likely reveal other color palettes that you can apply to the background, text, and other elements within this section for a consistent look.

2.3.4. Section padding

This section controls the spacing around the entire slider section, both above and below the content.

  • Top padding: This option allows you to set the amount of space (padding) at the top of the slider section. You can drag the slider or directly enter a numerical value to adjust this spacing

  • Bottom padding: This option allows you to set the amount of space (padding) at the bottom of the slider section. You can drag the slider or directly enter a numerical value to adjust this spacing

  • Rate padding (mobile): This option allows you to set the aspect ratio-based padding for mobile view (in percentage). For example, 75% means the height will be 75% of the width.
