Overview
Some themes have variants that allow you to adjust the appearance of the store. For example, the built-in Squirrelcart theme includes 15 different variants to change layout design, width, colors, fonts, and many other aspects of the theme using predefined values stored in INI files. The variants can be seen below as Layout, Width, Content Corners, etc...
When you change the variant fields, you are telling Squirrelcart to use settings for that variant in your stylesheets. Those settings are defined in special INI files that should not be modified.
Custom style settings can be used to further tweak those settings beyond what you could normally change with the variants alone. They are available when using the master Squirrelcart theme, or a theme that is extending that theme, or any add-on theme that supports it. They are not available to themes that are copying the built-in CSS from the master Squirrelcart theme.
How to Specify Custom Style Settings
Custom style settings are applied on top of a theme's variant settings. You choose a starting point for customization by selecting the variants you wish to start with. Any changes you make after setting the starting point alter that design from the one specified by the starting point setting.
Changing your Starting Point
If you wish to change the starting point, change the values explained above in steps 1 - 3, and click the Reset Starting Point and save the record. Changing your starting point will cause all previously specified custom style settings to be lost.
The custom style settings are used when you have your theme chosen and have the first variant set to "custom". For example, if you were to specify custom style settings for the Squirrelcart theme, your store will use them when you set the Default Theme as shown below:
