Luxe

Added

• We've added over 20 additional languages including Ukrainian, Turkish, Greek, Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Indonesian, Russian and Vietnamese. Luxe now works in over 30 languages in total; for the full list of languages please visit our documentation website.
• We've added a setting for image scaling on the product page media gallery, which can be useful in the case of product media with extreme aspect ratios such as ultra widescreen or extreme portrait. A common use case for this feature is merchants in the art industry who may be selling products with widely varying aspect ratios.
• We've added size, position and placement options for the product page media gallery thumbnails to give merchants more design flexibility. Thumbnails can now be positioned either left or right, and can be set to overlay the media or sit adjacent to it.

Fixes and other improvements

• We’ve updated the theme to support Shopify's new and improved accelerated checkout buttons. These changes will ensure that checkout buttons support features like Functions and Bundles, and will improve the visual appearance of these buttons in relation to matching the theme style settings.
• We've increased the text width range options on the product template to give merchants more design flexibility.
• We've fixed a minor visual bug on the Featured Collection section relating to the arrow style not working; the style setting now works correctly and as expected.
• We've fine-tuned a number of other minor aspects of the theme to further optimize performance, usability and visual design.

Added

• New section: Image with hotspots. This new theme section features an image with the ability to add hotspots highlighting products or product features within the image. Hotspots can either show a product or information. A number of design settings are included to give merchants flexibility, such as choosing the image aspect ratio and hotspot style. This new section will be of particular interest for merchants in fashion or interior design industries, as it is perfect for showcasing products within a lifestyle setting such as a room or a lifestyle photoshoot.
• We've added a choice of font for the header. Merchants can now set this to their body font if preferred.
• We've added a choice of menu icon for the header. There is a choice of two lines, three lines or three dots.
• We've added the option of adding a secondary desktop menu in the header. If specified, this displays on the top right alongside elements such as the search and login icons/links. This feature is useful for adding secondary menu links such as a link to a contact page, whilst keeping this separate from the main menu.
• We've added a setting to add vertical borders to dropdown columns. This gives merchants the option of a visual line to separate lists, if preferred.
• We've added a choice of icon for the header bar country selector; merchants can now choose between none, arrow or flag.
• New product block: Breadcrumb. We've added an optional breadcrumb block to the product template. This utilises custom metadata to give merchants complete control of the breadcrumb trail.
• New product block: Information tabs. We've added this new block to offer a different way to display product information. This block allows you to include a product description along with other information in user-friendly tabs as an alternative to the typical accordion approach. Up to four tabs can be included to display different information, and each tab can be dynamically linked to product metafields to display relevant content such as a size guide or product care information.
• New section: Product collection links. This new section can be inserted into a product template to display links to all related collections. For example, if the product is within 'Women' collection and 'T-Shirts' collection, this section will guide customers to explore those collections. This can be an effective way to increase cross-browsing on your store.
• We've improved the 'Quick add' feature on product cards. Products with multiple variants will now open as an overlay, allowing the customer to view and choose the relevant option such as size. We've also added style options for 'Quick add' buttons. Merchants can choose from 4 button style options, and choose separate styles for mobile and desktop. Furthmore, we've also added a setting for desktop hover option so this can be disabled if a merchant prefers the buttons to be visible at all times.
• We've added an optional setting for adding a background blur effect on drawers. This adds a modern visual effect that can be applied to the main menu drawer, cart drawer and collection filter drawer.
• We've added the option of sticky buy buttons on the product template. When turned on, the buy buttons will be fixed to the bottom of the screen on mobile devices for maximized visibility.
• We've added more choices for the price font size on the product template.

Changed

• We've re-engineered the 'Product cross links' block to improve the color swatch option and make it easier to use. The color swatch now supports multiple colors (for example if a product is black and gold). In this instance, the color swatch will show two colors in a split swatch design. This feature still requires use of custom metaobjects and metafields.
• We've modified the settings for font sizes so merchants can now set font sizes more accurately for mobile, tablet and desktop. The result is even sharper typography with more visual design flexibility than before.

Fixes and other improvements

• We've fixed an issue which prevented multiple videos auto-playing in the product media gallery. All videos now autoplay as expected. Merchants still have the option of disabling autoplay in favour of user-initiated playback, if preferred.
• We've made a number of other subtle visual refinements to the theme.

Added

• We've improved layout options for tablet; key theme sections now include separate layout options specifically for tablet devices, to give merchants more flexibility and control over layout.
• We've added additional position options for product badges within product cards. We've also added a global setting for text case on product badges.
• We've added an option to show arrow icons on the desktop dropdown menu, for merchants who prefer a visual indicator here.
• We've added a setting in the header to choose the width of the desktop dropdown. You can now choose 'adapt to menu contents' for a smaller style dropdown, if preferred. This new option is better suited to single level dropdown menus rather than larger scale menus.
• We've added a setting to choose the image size for desktop dropdown images within the header section. This gives merchants more flexibility to adjust the image size to fit best with the scale of menu lists. We've also added a portrait 4:6 aspect ratio option.
• We've added the option of enabling Quick Add on the Related Products section.
• On Collection filters, we've added a setting to turn on/off visual filters and to choose the shape of the visual filter swatch, to give merchants control over this feature. Note: visual features do still require the creation of custom metaobjects and metadata.
• We've added a setting to control the vertical spacing of blocks on the product page, giving merchants more fine control over vertical spacing between product information and interactive elements. We've also added the option of adding top/bottom borders to the product variant selector and quantity selector blocks.
• We've added improved border options on the main product section. This update enables merchants to create improved visual framing to the bottom of the main product section, if and when required.
• We've added more layout and content options to the Password page - you can now choose the image position, button style and include social media icons/links.
• We've added carousel arrow style options into each theme section.

Changed

• We've modified the settings for button padding to give improved control over the size of buttons.
• We've modified the way dropdown menu images work, so that multiple images can now be inserted into each dropdown menu (with a maximum of two images per dropdown).

Removed

• Featured product section: We have removed the tag text field. Instead, this feature now automatically shows product badges associated with the product.

Fixes and other improvements

• On the Collection Lookbook section we've added separate mobile and desktop padding settings.
• We've made subtle visual improvements and refinements in various other areas of the theme.
