Customize Dashboard Appearance

Your dashboard is where you run your business, so it should feel comfortable and show what you care about. Drip Merch's appearance settings let you personalize colors, theme, layout, and which modules appear on your home screen. This article covers each option.

Open Appearance Settings

  • Go to Settings in the dashboard.
  • Open Appearance.
  • Adjust the options and save to apply them. You can reset to defaults at any time.
  • Set Colors

  • Choose a primary color and an accent color with the color pickers or hex codes.
  • Or pick a ready-made preset like Ocean Blue, Emerald, Purple, Rose, Amber, or Indigo for a coordinated palette in one click.
  • Choose Light, Dark, or System

    Switch between light, dark, and system modes so the dashboard matches your preference or follows your device settings automatically.

    Style the Sidebar

  • Choose a sidebar style to change its look.
  • Set a sidebar color, or define custom background and text colors for a fully personalized navigation panel.
  • Arrange Dashboard Modules

    Your dashboard home is made of modules you can turn on, off, and reorder:

  • Key Statistics — your headline numbers.
  • Recent Orders — the latest activity across your stores.
  • Activity Feed — a running log of what's happening.
  • Alerts & Notifications — things that need attention.
  • Quick Tips — helpful guidance.
  • Sales Chart — a visual of your sales.
  • Toggle each module on or off, and drag them into the order you want so the most important information sits up top.

    Configure the Product Customizer

    Appearance settings also control your storefront customizer experience for buyers:

  • Set the customizer button and background colors.
  • Enable or disable text and image customization.
  • Choose which file types customers can upload — such as PNG, JPG, SVG, WebP, PDF, AI, EPS, and PSD.
  • Next Steps

    With your workspace set up the way you like, dive back into running your stores. See Manage Storefront Customers and Orders.
