Overview
The Borders & Shapes tab lets you control the structural styling of your product options. Adjust borders, rounded corners, spacing, and shadows to create the perfect look for your brand.
7 settings across four sections give you precise control over your option widget appearance.
Customize border thickness, corner radius, and shadow effects for your option widgets.
Border Thickness
Control the thickness of borders on different elements.
| Setting | What It Controls | Default | Range |
|---|---|---|---|
| General Border | Borders for containers, dividers, and general elements | 1px | 0px - 10px |
| Option Spacing | Vertical spacing between option groups | 24px | 8px - 80px |
Tips:
- Thin borders (1-2px): Clean, minimal look
- No borders (0px): Modern, borderless design
- Option Spacing: Increase for better visual separation between options
Corner Radius
Set the roundness of corners for different elements.
| Setting | What It Controls | Default | Range |
|---|---|---|---|
| General Radius | Default corner radius for most elements | 40px | 0px - 100px |
| Input Radius | Corner radius for text inputs and dropdowns | 4px | 0px - 50px |
Common styles:
- 0px: Sharp, rectangular corners (modern, clean)
- 4-8px: Subtle rounding (professional, friendly)
- 20-50px: Rounded corners (playful, soft)
- 100px: Pill-shaped (bold, distinctive)
Swatch Size
Control the size of color swatch elements in your option widgets.
| Setting | What It Controls | Default | Range |
|---|---|---|---|
| Swatch Size | Size of color swatch squares (width and height) | 40px | 16px - 80px |
When to adjust:
- Smaller (20-30px): Compact product pages with many options
- Medium (40-50px): Standard, balanced appearance
- Larger (60-100px): Feature prominent color choices, luxury feel
Color Swatches

Shadows Add Depth
