Theme Settings for the Adidas app

  • The primary function of “Theme Settings” is to customize the app's look. It has multiple options to set branding elements for your app. Let's start by customizing the app bar.

A set of readymade templates are available for each. Select an option from the variants and save it to the Adidas app layout.

  • Theme Style Settings: Next, we set some styling parameters for the app's theme. Click on "Theme Style Settings" on the left menu.

Designing the home page

  • We'll move on to customizing the home screen of the app. Click on the “Home” tab next to "Theme Settings" to edit the home page layout. A blank home screen layout with only the app bar and bottom bar is displayed. Let us start filling the contents inside it.

  • Adding a new page- On the "Add Page" button to your left next to the home screen layout, you'll find the 'home' tab as default. Click the edit icon on its side. In the "Edit Page" popup that opens, change the page name from "home" to "RUNNING". Ensure that the "Add As A New Page In Home" toggle is ON. Click on 'Submit' when done.

  • Add new pages to the app through the "Add Page" popup. In it, type the page name and click on "Submit". Add new pages 'ORIGINAL', 'FOOTBALL', and 'TRAINING' to the app layout as shown in the preview below.

  • Let's start adding content to the "RUNNING" page. Click on it. Now, the home screen of the "RUNNING" tab is visible.

  • Swipecart comes loaded with pre-made widgets that you can drag and drop to the draft app page layout. Let's see how to do this-

  • Single Banner- To add a single banner to the app layout, select "Single Banner" from the widget library drop-down. Select any among the displayed variants. Drop it to the draft app page layout. Click here to know more.

  • Similarly, we keep adding single banners to the "RUNNING" tab and linking them with products or collection categories.

  • To add content to the "ORIGINALS" tab, spot it below the "Add Page". Click on it. You'll get a blank screen with only the app bar and bottom bar. Start placing single banners on it just as you did for the "ORIGINALS" page. Repeat the same process for the other tabs, "FOOTBALL" and "TRAINING".

  • Besides this, you could add widgets like a Banner Grid, Banner Slider, Carousel Banners, Collection Grid, Collection Slider, Product List, Product Slider, Search, and Timer.
