The Sleek theme is a legacy theme. If you are using the Sleek theme, it is recommended that you change your template to a responsive design theme such as Underline.
The Sleek Theme includes both page links down the left, and store links at the top. This template includes many graphics as part of the layout. You would not be able to change these graphics from within the back office of ShopSite, but you can hange the rest of the colors on the page including the link colors, background colors and text colors. When customers click to go to one of the pages listed on the left, that page will be highlighted (assuming the link to that page is on that page). One unique feature within this template is how the subproducts are displayed (see below).
Theme Colors & Backgrounds Colors and background images for this theme can be modified under Preferences > Layout Settings.
Text Color - used as the text color and the color of links in the left navigation.
Background Color - used as the page background color.
Link Color - used as the link color and the "send to a friend" link color.
Visited Link Color - used as the shopping cart link color, product price color and the registration link (in the cart) color.
Active Link Color - used as the dotted line color and the active link color for links on the left. The active link color for the shopping cart screen is used to control the background images in the top navigation bar and the title bars in the body.
Table Shade Color - used as the table shade color for products on the shopping cart screen.
Background Image - will override the page background color if used.
Subproducts
The Sleek Theme displays subproducts different than other ShopSite themes. Subproducts are displayed in a pull down menu. If you would like the parent product to be listed in the pull down menu as well, you can add the parent product as a subproduct of itself. This will make is so that the parent product is listed in the pull down menu along with the subproducts. An example of this can be seen below. Each of the options within the pull down menu is its own product.
