Normcore Shopify theme

Version 2.5.0

This release adds four new banner sections — Scrolling Cards, Reel Hero, Peek Gallery and Stacked Showcase — and a Grid Heading block with highlight effects for the Dynamic Grid. It also corrects cart prices for B2B volume pricing and fixes theme editor labels that showed in the wrong language in German, Spanish and French.

Added

• [Scrolling Cards] New section pairing a content panel (heading, social media links and buttons) with columns of cards that scroll endlessly in opposite directions, turning into a single sideways row on mobile. Media cards take a video or image, a quote, an account badge and an optional product link; press mention cards show a headline with the publication's logo. Columns pause on hover or tap, and the column edges can softly fade out.
• [Reel Hero] New full-screen video banner with story titles placed around a central heading. Hovering a title peeks at its video from the nearest edge, and clicking opens it full screen. Supports per-story positions and title styles, a blur lens that follows the cursor over the heading, and a sound toggle.
• [Peek Gallery] New full-bleed image gallery where a preview of the next image follows the cursor and grows to fill the section on click.
• [Stacked Showcase] New section with a 3D deck of tabs and floating cards that flip to reveal a title and tag, optionally pulled from a product, with autoplay between tabs.
• [Dynamic Grid] New Grid Heading block with viewport-scaled sizing, vertical text and a choice of HTML tag. Words wrapped in [brackets] are highlighted either by the new Theme settings > Typography options (highlighted font, color, or a line or wave underline with its own thickness and color) or by a per-block effect: circle, marker, underline, zigzag, sketch box, glowing stars, sparkle dust, pearl dots or blossom petals. Grid items added in the theme editor now start with an image block.
• [Fullwidth Logo] Separate logo max width setting for mobile.
• [XFLOW] Back-in-stock buttons from the XFLOW app on product cards and the product page now match the theme's primary button.

Changed

• [Hero Gallery] The main media keeps its corner radius once it settles into the grid, including at full width.

Fixed

• [Cart] With B2B volume pricing or discounts, cart lines now show the actual unit price with the original price struck through, and changing a quantity in the cart no longer previews an incorrect tier price.

Version 2.4.1

This release refreshes all default presets across every listing and makes product section placeholders respect the configured column count.

Changed

• [Default Presets] Refreshed default template data across all listings (normcore, matte, elementary, subtle, raw) and base templates — homepage, collection, product, overlay group, header group, and various page templates updated to reflect current design defaults.
• [Placeholder Cards] Product sections (Featured Product List, Product Bundle, Product Recommendation, Collection Browsing) now show as many placeholder cards as the configured desktop column count, instead of a hardcoded 4.

This release makes the storefront noticeably faster by loading only the code each page needs, removes the flicker when the cart or filters update, and adds the Hero Gallery, Dynamic Grid, Size Guide and EU Right of Withdrawal sections along with reusable Product, Collection and Blog Post card blocks. The product page gains a Back in Stock notification and a Product Disclosures block, and the theme now supports the Shopify customer account component.

Added

• [EU Right of Withdrawal] New entry and form sections plus a page template, letting merchants selling into the EU accept statutory withdrawal requests directly on the storefront.
• [Product Disclosures] New compliance and care information block, shown on the product page and carried through to the cart.
• [Hero Gallery] New section presenting images across three depth layers with scroll-driven motion. Each item supports its own link, hover title, and a social platform badge.
• [Dynamic Grid] New editorial grid section where each item moves at its own pace as the page scrolls, with visual guides in the theme editor for laying the grid out.
• [Size Guide] New section with tabbed size tables and a built-in unit converter, configurable per tab, table and row.
• [Card Blocks] Product, Collection and Blog Post cards are now blocks usable inside Custom Section, each with matching sub-blocks (image, title, plus price/swatches/buy-button, product-count, or excerpt/details respectively).
• [Back in Stock] New product page block letting customers request a notification when a sold-out variant is restocked.
• [Customer Account] Added support for the Shopify customer account component.

Changed

• [Performance] Each page now loads only the code it needs, instead of one large file shared by the whole storefront. Faster load times and better Lighthouse scores, most noticeably on mobile.
• [Dynamic Updates] Updating the cart, applying a filter or switching a variant only updates what changed. The page no longer jumps, scroll position stays put, and open dropdowns stay open.
• [Loading States] Product cards, quick view and quick buy show a placeholder while loading, and cart prices shimmer while a quantity change is saved, so nothing sits blank or looks unresponsive.
• [Collection Filters] Filtering now animates the grid into its new arrangement on collection and search pages. Remaining cards slide up to fill the gaps, while cards coming and going fade.
• [Theme Editor] Sections are grouped into categories in the picker, so a long list is easier to search.
• [Product Card] Colour swatches render faster on collection pages with many products.
• [Collection List Slider] Layout and navigation refinements.
• [Product Bundle] The bundle discount is now removed automatically when the customer changes the cart so it no longer qualifies. Previously it could stay applied.

Fixed

• [Product Media] Hover zoom stopped working after switching to any slide but the first in the thumbnail media layouts.
• [Animations] White flash before section reveal animations ran.
• [Product Bundle] Discount code not appearing immediately in the cart drawer; mobile layout and translation strings corrected.

This release introduces the Compact Product Bundle section, a parallax scroll effect across banner and media sections, several new content sections, header search with category filtering, navigation badges, and a full rebrand from SalesHunterThemes to eComX.

Added

• [Compact Product Bundle] New section to sell a curated set of 2–4 products as one bundle: inline variant selection (with image/price syncing on change), a live bundle total with savings badge, an optional discount code applied at checkout, an optional countdown timer, customizable add-to-cart text, and a banner with overlay text and parallax. One action adds the whole bundle to cart.
• [Image Parallax] Added parallax scroll effect (vertical / horizontal / zoom) to banner and media sections: Image Banner, Collection Banner, Blog Post Banner, Multi-media Banner, Image with Text, Content Collage, Map, Newsletter, and Custom Section. Runs on the compositor and respects reduced-motion preferences.
• [Revealing Text] New section with animated text reveal on scroll — supports heading, subheading, and configurable animation style.
• [Age Verification] New popup section for age-gating storefront access. Supports customizable heading, message, confirm/deny buttons, and cookie persistence. Actions (confirm/deny buttons) are configurable as a dedicated block inside the overlay group template.
• [Collection List Slider] New section to present collections in a swipeable carousel.
• [Header Search] New search block for the Header section, with an optional category filter to scope results.
• [Nav Badge] Added badges (e.g. "Sale", "New") and highlight effects for header navigation items, including a tree-menu layout.

Changed

• [Product Bundle] Added discount-code support (applied automatically at add-to-cart) and various refinements.
• [Block Group] Added "Inherit color scheme" option — when enabled, the block inherits the color scheme from its parent section instead of applying its own.
• [Rebranding] Rebrand all theme assets and component identifiers from SalesHunterThemes to eComX.

We fixed a bug where the cart drawer total price was not updating when the quantity changed.
