Etheryx Shopify theme

This release introduces variant galleries on product pages, a lighter add-to-cart notification, and a new "Tabbed collections" section; alongside new page transitions and many more refinements, fixes, and optimizations.

Added

• 🔥 Product page: Added variant galleries so shoppers see the media that matches their selected variant, while shared media stays visible.
• 🔥 Cart: Added a new notification mode that shows a lightweight notice when a product is added, instead of opening the cart drawer or going to the cart page.
• 🔥 Added a new "Tabbed collections" section that lets you feature up to four collections shoppers can switch between.
• Added a choice of page transition styles ("Soft zoom", "Blur focus", or "Soft rise") plus a speed setting ("Instant", "Fast", "Normal", or "Slow"), so you can control how pages animate as shoppers browse.
• Header: Added a new "Panel" menu option that keeps the previous "Drawer" opening style for those who prefer it.
• Header: Added quick links so the menu can show up to four main links on desktop when the menu type is set to "Drawer" or "Panel".
• Product page: Added a thumbnail mini-map to the image zoom view, letting shoppers jump straight to a photo and see which one they're viewing while scrolling.
• Product page: Added a price block setting to show or hide the automatic taxes, duties, and shipping policy notice.
• Product page: Added an option to show the "Add to cart" button as a primary button when dynamic checkout buttons are active.
• Product page: Added an option to show the buttons side by side instead of stacked when dynamic checkout buttons are active.
• Product page: Added a spacing setting to control the vertical space between blocks.
• Product cards: Added an option to display badges over the product media.

Fixed

• Header: Fixed the content blend option so it no longer stays active when the header background is set back to solid.
• Header: Fixed an issue where overlay settings could stop working on custom page templates.
• Product page: Fixed selected variant media so the right variant image shows when the page loads.
• Product page: Fixed an issue where products with 3D models could show two "View in your space" buttons — a single button now shows, on mobile only.
• Product page: Fixed product media sizing on mobile so media centers correctly.
• Product cards: Fixed card images so they show the matching variant when shoppers filter a collection or search, instead of always showing the product's first image. Cards now also link straight to the variant shown, and the hover image no longer reveals an unrelated color.
• Product cards: Fixed an issue where videos could grow in size mid-playback and shift the layout.
• Collection & Search pages: Fixed price filter values so they follow the shopper's local currency format.
• Collection & Search pages: Fixed the filters drawer open and close animations.
• Newsletter popup: Fixed signups so a successful signup is remembered and the name and terms fields no longer show with the success message.
• Fixed an issue where a slideshow with a single slide could load more slowly than it should.

Changed

• Product page: Inventory status now follows variant availability when stock is not tracked, while the "Show inventory count" setting continues to show exact quantities for tracked variants.
• Product page: Block labels are now controlled by a single "Show all labels" setting, so every label (including SKU and quantity) can be shown or hidden together.
• Collection & Search pages: Price filters now load faster and use a simpler two-handle price selector.
• Header: The "Translucent" background option now uses a blurred header instead of a solid color.
• Header: The "Drawer" menu now slides in from the side of the screen, giving it a more distinct feel from the new "Panel" option.
• Refined the styling of the cart, product cards, social links, and product thumbnails for a cleaner, more consistent look.
