Themes with real photography and new editor controls
Theme editor: see the theme's default image, and new controls
An image setting in the theme editor now shows the photo the theme uses by default, marked "Theme default". Choose your own image any time; "Reset to default" brings the theme's photo back. Themes such as Meridian also get an image picker for slides, images and logos, a code box for custom HTML, a link check for URL settings, videos from your media library, and your own menus in the menu picker.
Themes start with real photos
Each supplied theme now opens with photography instead of grey temporary areas or your store name in large letters. A new store or theme preview shows a complete hero and, where the theme includes one, a row of categories with photos. Pages you have already saved in the theme editor stay as they are. Supplied photos are subject to their applicable licence terms; check those before reusing them outside the theme. You can replace them in the theme editor with your own images for which you have the necessary rights.
