The Congruence Theme includes both page links down the left, and store links at the top. The white background color cannot be changed, but you can change the page background color or image. Most of the color options include the color for the tabs at the top. If you would like to change the color of those tabs you can go to Preferences > Themes > and select the "Clear Tabs" color option for the congruence theme. This will allow you to specify both the tab color, and the tab hover color. One unique feature within this template is how the subproducts are displayed (see below).

How Colors and Backgrounds Are Used

• Text Color - used only as the text color.
• Background Color - used as the page background color.
• Link Color - used as the link color for links appearing in the main body of the page. If you are using the "Clear Tabs" color scheme, then the link color also controls the color of the tabs at the top of the screen.
• Visited Link Color - used as the product price color. If you are using the "Clear Tabs" color scheme, then the visited link color also controls the color of the tabs at the top of the screen when hovered over.
• Active Link Color - used as the roll over color for links on the left and in the main body, as well as the color of the buttons.
• Table Shade Color - used only as the table shade color for products on the shopping cart screen.
• Background Image - will override the page background color if used.

Subproducts
The Congruence Theme displays subproducts different than other ShopSite themes. Subproducts are displayed in a pull down menu. If you would like the parent product to be listed in the pull down menu as well, you can add the parent product as a subproduct of itself. This will make is so that the parent product is listed in the pull down menu along with the subproducts. An example of this can be seen below. Each of the options within the pull down menu is it's own product.

Rose Lotion 4 oz. $3.99 Rose Lotion 8 oz. $5.99 Rose Lotion 12 oz. $8.99

Modifying the Tabs in the Congruence Theme
The Congruence theme is setup so that there are up to five tabs at the top of the pages. These tabs include links to the home page, the gift certificate screen, the sign in and register screens for customer registration and a shopping cart link. If you do not have customer registration or gift certificates turned on, then only the "Home" tab and "Your Shopping Cart" tab will be displayed at the top of the page.

If you would like to add your own tabs you would need to modify the Congruence template files. You can add tabs to the Congruence template by following the instructions found at the URL below. You will need to modify the template itself, which requires ShopSite Manager or Pro.
