Refresh Theme - Change default background colour on "image with text"

I’m trying to figure out how to change the default background colour on sections that don’t allow it through theme colour schemes. At the moment I’m trying to do that for “image with text”. The colour hex code is #55565A. Thank you.

Hey @AlloyRamps
Kindly share your Store URL and Password if enabled

Hi @Moeed , I currently have a Shopify website running with Debut theme, and I’m working on changing to Refresh, so I’m working on this theme in the background from the theme library.

Is there any way I can share without publishing it?

Hi @AlloyRamps
You can try to replace the section code with this

{{ 'component-image-with-text.css' | asset_url | stylesheet_tag }}

{%- style -%}
  .section-background{
    background: var(--section-background);
  }
  .section-{{ section.id }}-padding {
    padding-top: {{ section.settings.padding_top | times: 0.75 | round: 0 }}px;
    padding-bottom: {{ section.settings.padding_bottom | times: 0.75 | round: 0 }}px;
  }

  @media screen and (min-width: 750px) {
    .section-{{ section.id }}-padding {
      padding-top: {{ section.settings.padding_top }}px;
      padding-bottom: {{ section.settings.padding_bottom }}px;
    }
  }
{%- endstyle -%}

{% assign scheme1 = settings.color_schemes | first %}

  

    

      

        {%- if section.settings.image != blank -%}
          {%- if section.settings.image_behavior == 'ambient' -%}
            {%- assign widths = '198, 432, 642, 900, 1284, 1800' -%}
            {%- capture sizes -%}
              (min-width: {{ settings.page_width }}px) {{ settings.page_width | minus: 100 | divided_by: 1.6667 }}px,
              (min-width: 750px) calc((100vw - 130px) / 1.667), calc((100vw - 50px) / 1.667)
            {%- endcapture -%}
          {%- else -%}
            {%- assign widths = '165, 360, 535, 750, 1070, 1500' -%}
            {%- capture sizes -%}
              (min-width: {{ settings.page_width }}px) {{ settings.page_width | minus: 100 | divided_by: 2 }}px,
              (min-width: 750px) calc((100vw - 130px) / 2), calc((100vw - 50px) / 2)

          }}
        {%- else -%}
          {{ 'detailed-apparel-1' | placeholder_svg_tag: 'placeholder-svg' }}
        {%- endif -%}
      

    

    
      

        {%- for block in section.blocks -%}
          {% case block.type %}
            {%- when 'heading' -%}
              ##

                  {{ block.settings.button_label | escape }}

You can share the preview link of the theme when you preview the draft theme

Ah just spotted. Thank you.

https://3huad7nhq3kgnvhd-54738059451.shopifypreview.com

It didn’t change anything, thank you though!

@Moeed I tested it with Ride theme.

I clicked on header and changed the colour scheme. Whatever was set as “background colour” in the colour scheme was applied to the background colour of any new section that I added.

The header background colour controlled the background colour of the sections.

Now this doesn’t happen in Refresh theme - is that just how the theme is set up as?

Hi @AlloyRamps Have you check the section settings in theme customize?
The new code support for you can change the background as you want.
