Presets

A preset is the pre-configured arrangement of settings, typography, color, and homepage composition the theme loads when a store installs it. Presets are starting points — replace the placeholder content and adjust settings to fit your store.

Prismatic ships with one preset, named Prismatic — the configuration a merchant sees in their theme library and the starting point a new store loads on install. It comes with a complete, fully merchandised demo store, branded Inkling: an artist-collab catalog used as the official demo.

The capability is the theme; the character is the preset. The preset sets typography, palette, corner treatment, and which sections the homepage leans on.

The Prismatic preset

An artist-collab catalog register: a design house crediting a named illustrator on every piece — "real art, fake permanence." The demo store is branded Inkling. The volume here is joyful — saturation and graphic density rather than darkness.

• Typography — Bebas Neue display headings at 110% scale; Work Sans body; Space Mono subheadings and labels.
• Color — Nine schemes: a cream paper base (#F6EFE0 / #EDE2CC) with riso brights to clash against it — pink, blue, yellow, green, orange, purple — and a near-black (#1C1A17). Alternated hard, section to section.
• Appearance — 1500px page width; 3px corner radius on buttons and inputs.
• Homepage — A deep, artist-features composition: type-forward slideshow hero, rich-text intro, featured collection, image-with-text, a dynamic grid, collection list, a creator spotlight, scroll-pinned images-with-text, shop-the-look, multi-column, featured product, hot spots, process steps, specification table, video, a bundle builder, journal teaser, a second collection list, image-with-text, and a newsletter slab.
• Signature moves — Registration-offset as the interactive accent, flash-sheet product grids, and artist credits set everywhere like liner notes (the creator-spotlight section).

The preset's sample copy and placeholder images are tuned to its intended register. Replace them with your own photography, graphics, and language.

How presets work

Presets live in the theme's config/settings_data.json. On first install the theme loads the preset; your edits in the editor then become the live configuration. The preset file remains as the reset reference.

The preset applies at install time and lives under the Prismatic key in config/settings_data.json — the configuration a merchant sees in their theme library.

Resetting to the preset

1. From the Shopify admin, go to Online Store → Themes.
2. Click Actions → Delete on the Prismatic theme, then reinstall.

Caution: Reinstalling discards all customization. If you want to preserve your current configuration to reapply later, copy config/settings_data.json via Actions → Edit code before deleting.

Notes

• Presets are not templates. Templates are per-page layout files; the preset is install-time global configuration.
• The preset configures the section library, templates, and settings; the underlying theme capability is unchanged — only the configuration differs.
