Creating a shopping cart item > Elements > Details > setting the font color universally??  en

I had received this answer in regard to the font color for the price and quantity count on a product item card:

In the shopping page (product catalog object) step4, you can select under elements different options.  Under details you can set the color, and also select what options you want to show. Check also the other settings in this pulldown.

Under details, the font is defaultly set to a "light grey."  This light grey setting will apply to the Category name under the product name (which is black and a couple font sizes bigger), the price and the quantity box are light grey, (the description defaults as black).  It gives the impression of the price being faded out, like when you attempt to choose a setting from a Windows drop down menu and it is grey-shaded, thus inactive.  This kind of makes the price look inactive and quantity available questionable.  I do understand how to go through each product card, one by one, and set the font to BLACK.  But how come the program sets this to light grey as a default?  How can the default settings for this be changed to black - sitewide, for every new product item created?  Seems a software engineer would need to change this in the program if the end user does not have a universal flip switch....

This evening I just learned how to change some of the shopping cart field names that are displayed and the default country code, etc.  It was through Languages in Step 1.  So a follow up question, directly related.  I have not explored the full list of items in this Languages settings.  But it seems to be the behind the scenes info center for the software.  Seems like it could be easy to mess something up in there.  Are there settings for default font colors hidden somewhere in there?

Hi John,

thank you for your message. 

It is unfortunately not possible to change the default settings, but  you can customize any details directly in the Product Catalog Object, section Settings . The parameters you set for the option Details will affect the Category, the Price, the Quantity and the Line.  

Please let me know if I can be of further help. Kind regards.

Thanks, Elisa.  I did discover that I was doing things the hard way.  I was tackling each shopping cart item one by one.  I see now that creating a lot of sublevels in the cart and adding a level as the product catalog object will allow me to alter multiple cart entries at once.  So I am going to treat my shopping cart a lot like the tree.  Adding more levels and sublevels and then adding multiple related items at once via a level.  That will definitely speed things up.
