Frame Settings for Pages
The Page Frame tab provides the ability to adjust certain settings relating to the Pages Frame.

The Page Frame tab is activated by clicking on the 'Store Pages' icon at the top of the tree view in the Pages Tab.

The Pages Frame provides a placeholder for each and every page of your store and is where all the products and items on each page of your store will appear.

It is possible to turn off the Page's three surrounding frames (i.e. Menu, Toolbar and Basket), thus making the Pages Frame an independent frame-free page.


Setting the width of the Pages frame

The Pages Frame is set at a default 100% wide. This means that no matter how wide or how narrow a user's browser is set, the page will always extend fill the entire screen width.

You can however set the Pages Frame to a fixed width measured in pixels. This is useful if your
design requires the page not be expandable or contractible.

To set the width of the Pages Frame in pixels, check 'Apply Fixed Width' and insert the desired >number of pixels.

Remember, the width you set for the Pages Frame will also determine the width of the Toolbar Frame and the Basket Frame.


Setting the height of the Pages frame

The height of the Pages Frame cannot be set. The number of items on any page in the store determines it. The Pages Frame will always shrink or expand to the maximum depth of any individual page in the store.


Creating a fixed width for your entire store

Many web designers prefer to design their stores to always appear at a fixed width no matter how much the browser window is expanded or contracted. It allows a designer to know exactly how the store will look no matter what a user's screen dimensions or browser widths are.

To set the width of the page in pixels, check 'Fixed Width' on the Page Frame tab and insert the desired number of pixels.

If you are including a menu down the right or left of the store you will need to take the width of this frame into account when determining the total width of your store.

For example, if you want your store to be 600 pixels wide and you have set the Menu Frame at 200 pixels wide, you will need to set the Pages Frame width to 400 pixels.


Setting the font styles for all pages appearing in the Pages Frame

You can set a global font style that will apply to all the pages in your store by selecting the font size, face and colour from the relevant dropdown menus under Default Font Settings on the Page Frame tab.

This font can however be overwritten by any individual item on a page.

Note that these default fonts will also affect the fonts in your toolbar(s) and menu(s).
