Earlier posts talked about the content of Feed Cart widgets (static, dynamic, and subscription) and the structure (tabbed widgets, rotating product displays, menu based multi paged stores), now I’d like to mention a few things about widget style customization.
Currently Feed Cart allows users to pick their own color choices, font & border styles, and widget widths. However this must be done each time for every Feed Cart widget using a text based form. Expanding on these options is one of our highest priorities in development. Within a few weeks Feed Cart alpha testers will be able to use default & custom style profiles to make customizing the look & feel of their widgets even faster. Color selectors and font editors from the YUI library will be used to improve the creation of style profiles.
We also are looking to provide the ability to have rounded corners for all Feed Cart widgets so they may fit more naturally in your websites that use curved borders. This feature may or may not be available for our public launch, pending how well dynamic image creation performs on a large scale.
Our goal is to have a fast and intuitive interface for Feed Cart users to create nearly any style possible. Please leave a comment if you have any feature requests for style customization.
