Core Theme Overhaul
Aether Starter themeA wide-ranging update touching nearly every core section of the theme — headers, footer, product pages, collection pages, and the homepage — delivering a more polished, consistent, and conversion-ready experience across desktop and mobile.
- Desktop Header — Active nav link detection, cart drawer with half-screen immersive backdrop blur, and live AJAX cart updates without page reload.
- Mobile Header — Full rewrite with iOS-style frosted glass blur, bottom-sheet menu and cart drawers with staggered entrance animations, and header color inversion for light sections.
- Announcement Bar — Multi-message rotation with smooth slide transitions, close button with session persistence, and dynamic CSS variable for downstream layout.
- Footer — Glass effect mode, watermark with glow, payment icons, and granular typography controls for links and social text.
- Product Pages — Back button with smart referrer fallback, image slideshow, variant picker, and stock-based description open/close state on mobile.
- Collection Page — Paginated product grid with per-card fade-in animation, sale badges with discount percentage, and breadcrumb back button.
- Mobile Hero Banner — Multi-slide support with progress bar and indicator dots, per-slide overlay controls.
- Theme Layout — Custom font preloads and --vh CSS variable fix for accurate mobile viewport height.
