Radian Shopify theme

Radian 3.1.0 adds new editorial sections, including Scroll Statement, Promo Tiles, Product Spotlight, Press Quotes, and Collection Spotlight, and five new product media layouts. Product images now keep their own shape and can fit the screen, with a new option to show them uncropped. Mobile image and video overrides are available across the theme, and typography, size guide, and scroll performance are improved.

Added

• Added selected-variant media filtering to Product, Featured Product, and Quickview galleries, with grouping by variant image order or Color value in media alt text. Galleries render already filtered for the selected variant, including ?variant= links, and Color alt text grouping falls back to variant image order when no alt text names a color value. Only the alt text before a | is read for the color, so the rest can describe the image, as in Navy | Front view.
• Added optional mobile image and Shopify-hosted video overrides to Category Showcase, Banner Sticky Scrolling, Featured Collection Split Media, Fullscreen Media Product, Sticky Image Cards, Stories, Video, Custom Section backgrounds, Image Gallery, Multi-column, Testimonials, Grid Product backgrounds, Flyout, Discovery Drawer, Social Grid backgrounds, Media blocks, and Split Media panels.
• Added independent mobile hover images to Image Gallery and mobile override images to Multi-column Collection blocks.
• Added responsive mobile media support to the shared image, video, and media-frame components so future sections can use the same behavior consistently.
• Added a Size option names setting under Theme settings → Size guide. The size guide link sits beside any listed option (default: Size).
• Added Scroll Statement section: a large editorial statement whose words light up as the visitor scrolls, with italic highlight words, optional accent color, fade-in or no-animation alternatives, and an optional button. The light-up uses CSS scroll-driven animation; browsers without support show the full text.
• Added Overlapping Images section: a main image and an overlapping detail image beside text, heading, link, and button blocks, with independent ratios, overlap position and size, image side, and subtle or strong parallax.
• Added Collection Spotlight section: a list of large collection titles that brings each collection's image forward on hover or keyboard focus, with optional numbers, product counts, image overrides, and inline thumbnails on touch screens.
• Added Press Quotes section: publication logos act as tabs for their quotes, with optional automatic rotation that pauses on hover, focus, and while the section is off screen.
• Added Pattern Band section: a decorative band that repeats a seamless pattern tile, with tile size and height controls for desktop and mobile, an optional centered label, and drift-while-scrolling or continuous movement.
• Added a Wordmark block to the Footer: the store name or custom text is sized to fill the full footer width, in solid or outline style, using the heading, secondary heading, or body font.
• Added Promo Tiles section: a heading with optional highlight and countdown above a row of image, video, and text tiles. Each tile is a single block with its own media, overlay, heading, button, link, and optional content box, replacing the nested Grid groups previously needed for this layout. On mobile the tiles become a swipe row, two columns, or are hidden.
• Added Product Spotlight section: text, heading, button, link, and countdown blocks on one side and a product card over an image, video, or color background on the other, with product position, card width, height, and mobile order settings.
• Added five product page media layouts: Large image over image tiles, Collage of three, Large image beside a column, Carousel, and Two-column grid. On mobile they use the same swipe slider or thumbnails as the existing layouts, and they work with selected-variant media filtering and the lightbox.
• Added an Image fit setting to the Product, Featured Product, and Quickview Media blocks: Fill the frame, or Show whole image to show every image uncropped inside its frame.
• Added a Fit media to the screen setting to the product page Media block. On desktop the main media fills the screen below the header; with Slide, Carousel, 2 column, and Collage of three it also stays in view while the details scroll and grows into the room freed as the page scrolls.
• Added a suggestions panel to the Cart drawer with Complementary products and Recently viewed tabs. On desktop it slides out beside the drawer; on smaller screens it sits under the cart items. Suggestions come from the Search & Discovery app's complementary products for the first cart item, related products, or a chosen collection.
• Added an Adapt to media option to the product card Thumbnail ratio in Theme settings: each card takes the shape of its product's first image, so it shows uncropped.
• Added Review stack section: a review summary with score, stars, review count, text and button stays in view beside customer review cards that pile up as the page scrolls. Each review has a rating, title, name, details, avatar, customer photo and the reviewed product; on mobile the cards keep stacking as the page scrolls, or become a swipe row.
• Added Topic blocks to the FAQ section to group the questions that follow them, with the topic above its questions or kept in view beside them on desktop.
• Added Gift wrapping in Theme settings: pick a gift wrap product, then offer it per item, as a switch under each product in the cart drawer that adds one wrap labelled with the product and keeps its quantity, or for the whole order, as one switch above the subtotal with a label and text. Per item it can be limited to products tagged gift-wrap or with a custom.gift_wrap metafield, and the cart drawer switches can be turned off.
• Added a Gift wrap block to the product page: a switch that adds gift wrap with the product when it goes into the cart, linked to its cart line, using the Gift wrapping theme settings. The cart drawer shows the wrap under the item and keeps its quantity in step.
• Added a Title below image layout to the List collections section: a grid of collection images with a small title and an arrow under each, an image ratio setting, the product count optional, and with Full width the grid runs edge to edge.
• Added an Editorial style to the Contact form section: the form gets its own heading, a row of topics sent with the message, large fields on fine lines, and a note beside the button. The thank-you message takes the place of the fields once the form is sent.
• Added Stockists section and a Stockists page template: the stores that carry your brand, as rows beside an image, a grid of cards, or a compact feature of one store with every store a tap away in a drawer. Each store shows its address, opening hours, phone, a link and directions that open in Google Maps. An optional in-store offer shows a discount code that copies with one tap.
• Promo tiles can show a discount code beside the heading and countdown, with a button that copies it with one tap.
• Added a Search section to the Overlay group: search opens as a panel below the header or a side drawer, with a large field in the theme's typography and the cart drawer's open and close motion. Before typing it can show rolling suggestions in the field, popular and recent searches, and up to four products. While typing, results are grouped in tabs with the typed words highlighted and arrow-key navigation. Theme settings > Search adds Products in suggestions, Show product price, Show vendor and Popular links.

Changed

• Mobile media settings now work as optional overrides: when no mobile asset is selected, the original desktop image or video is used automatically.
• Responsive image art direction now uses Shopify image objects with a <picture> source, allowing the browser to select the appropriate desktop or mobile image.
• Shopify-hosted mobile videos now use the existing theme video controller, playback behavior, and responsive breakpoint without changing the existing design when no override is configured.
• FAQ accordion styling and interaction dependencies are now loaded by the FAQ section itself, making the section portable across page templates and merchant installations.
• The size guide link no longer depends on the option name: products without a matching option, including single-variant products, show it below the variant picker. The variant picker block's Show size guide button setting still turns it off.
• Typography settings now keep mobile size, line height, and letter spacing behind a Show advanced settings toggle for each text style. Values that are already set keep applying while hidden.
• Media ratio, padding multiplier, and Customize for mobile settings now explain what they control directly in the theme editor.
• Continuous animations (marquees, logo and promotion loops, hotspot pulses, ghost-title tracks, and similar) now pause while their section is off screen.
• Reduced main-thread work during page load and scrolling, including smoother Banner Sticky Scrolling and Category Showcase scroll effects and fewer full-page style recalculations.
• Related products in the swipe row style can show a two-column grid on mobile instead, with a new Mobile layout setting.
• Social Grid can show six columns on desktop, a single strip of posts; tablets show three.
• Upsell panel tabs no longer show a scroll progress bar under the dots that already show the position.
• Interface icons, such as the header, cart, quantity, chevron, arrow and close icons, now draw a thin line of one weight at every size, in keeping with the theme's light typography.
• Stores updating from an earlier version keep the header's own search panel until the Search section is added to the Overlay group in the theme editor.
• Menu drawer, sidebar and mega menu items now reveal with the cart drawer's timing: a slower, softer fade with a short slide in the direction the menu opens.
• The gift card recipient form now always shows on gift card products. The Product section's Gift card recipient form setting, which showed on every product, is removed.

• Fixed Header Logo desktop and mobile image-size settings being overridden by hardcoded inline defaults.

• Fixed the Cart drawer no longer closing on an outside click, and losing its close cursor, after a quick view opened from one of its product cards was closed.

• Fixed simple header dropdown menus (not mega menus) briefly showing a scrollbar while opening, and replaying their opening animation, with the scrollbar, when a link inside was clicked.

• Fixed List collections images loading too small and looking blurry, most of all landscape images on phones.
• Fixed product counts reading "1 pieces". Counts now use the singular and plural, and are translated as product counts in every language.
• Improved idle performance: pages no longer redraw every frame while nothing moves. Smooth scrolling, the Marquee scroll effect, autoplay videos and the Press Quotes progress bar now pause while they are off screen or idle.
• Improved scroll smoothness on low-powered computers and phones: the Scroll to top button, the product page sticky Add to cart bar, the Collection Tab slider and Collection infinite scroll and Load more no longer cause long frames while the page scrolls.
