Global Style is a design philosophy that emphasizes consistency and cohesiveness in all aspects of web design. This means that all the elements on a website, from the typography to the color scheme, are designed to work together in harmony. This creates a cohesive and visually appealing design that is functional and engaging.
Global Style Preset
The Global Style preset offers numerous design options that can be quickly modified and saved, with changes automatically applied across all pages. Editor 7.0 employs a single preset, with styles imported by default from the Homepage of your published theme. If your store is password-protected, the preset will take its values from the Dawn theme, and data synchronization requires inputting the password first.
