Setting up
  Templates and Colours

Layout and Colours

You can change the colours of the shop by selecting a colour from the drop down menu for the part of the shop that you wish to alter.

You can also choose colours by typing in the hex code for that particular colour in the box to the right of the drop down menu.

Be careful not to choose the same colour for the background and foreground.  For example choosing black text with a black background makes it difficult to read!

To create custom colours move the 3 slider bars at the top of the screen.  The drop down menu to the left of the slider bar lets you choose which part of the shop you wish to create the custom colour for.
