Coverflow: the text colour settings now actually apply

If you changed Title text on Coverflow and nothing happened on your storefront, that was a real bug, not something you were doing wrong.

The section handed the title colour down from its wrapper instead of setting it on the title itself. In CSS, a colour that is inherited loses to any colour a theme sets directly, no matter how specific ours is, and practically every Shopify theme sets a colour on headings. So the theme won and your setting did nothing. The one thing that did work was the highlight colour on bolded words, because that one was set directly, which is exactly why the section looked like it was half listening to you.

The same thing was happening to two more controls you would have had no reason to connect to it:

• Button outline & label lost to the theme's link styling, so the button rendered in the theme's link colour, often inside the theme's own grey box.
• Arrow background and Arrow icon lost to the theme's button styling, so the arrows kept the theme's colours whatever you picked.

What changed

Every colour is now set on the element that paints it, at a strength that clears the theme. Nothing about the settings changed, so your existing picks are still there and simply start showing up.

Two notes on what you will see after updating:

• The title will switch from your theme's heading colour to whatever Title text is set to. On a fresh install that is white, which is what the section was designed for, since the title sits on a photo. If you had been relying on the theme's colour, set Title text to match.
• Use theme font is untouched. With it on, the title still uses your theme's heading font. Only a font you pick yourself now overrides the theme.

The label on the title colour setting also said "Title & button text", which was never true, the button has always had its own control. It now just says "Title text".

Coverflow Hang too

The same fix went into Modulo: Coverflow Hang, which shared the same code.

Getting the update

Open Sections in the app, find Coverflow on your installed list, and choose Update to latest. Your slides, images, links and colours are kept, only the section code is replaced.
