# DRIFT — General

Controls the default color mode that DRIFT loads in.

## How to access

**Theme settings → DRIFT — General**

## Settings

### Default color mode

Select either **Light** or **Dark**. This is the color mode the site loads in for first-time visitors. Shoppers can toggle between light and dark using the switch in the header. The default is **Dark**.

### Enable Liquid Glass

On by default. Adds an Apple-style refractive edge highlight to every glass container in the theme — header pill, cards, modals, the password page card, etc. The effect uses a multi-layer inset `box-shadow` with `color-mix()` to mimic how real glass catches light along its edges.

Browsers that don't support `color-mix()` (older Safari, etc.) automatically fall back to the standard flat glass look — no broken visuals.

Turn it off if you prefer the original flat glass look or are debugging a visual issue.

### Color schemes

Color schemes are required by Shopify but **do not affect DRIFT's appearance**. DRIFT uses its own light/dark mode system (driven by the Default color mode setting above) rather than Shopify's color scheme system.

You can leave the color scheme defaults as they are — they have no visible effect on the storefront.

{% hint style="info" %}
DRIFT renders solid backgrounds in each mode (`#FAFAFA` in light, `#0A0A0A` in dark) by default. To replace these with media, use the [DRIFT — Background](/drift-shopify-theme/drift-studio/theme-settings/background.md) settings.
