Installation

How to upload EXP-98 to your Shopify store.

Upload the theme

1. Open your Shopify admin

2. Online Store → Themes

3. Top-right dropdown → Add theme → Upload zip file

4. Select the EXP-98 theme zip

5. Wait for it to process (usually 30 seconds)

Once uploaded, EXP-98 shows up in your Theme library — but it's not live yet.

Customize before publishing

Don't publish yet. Click Customize on the EXP-98 theme first and set it up against your own products. The theme editor opens and nothing you do there is visible to customers until you hit Publish.

The editor is built to be worked in. While you are editing:

• The enter gate, the switch-on animation, the idle screensaver and music that starts itself are all held back, so nothing gets in your way

• Selecting a section or block shows it — pick the Music section and the player opens, pick a desktop icon's block and its window opens, pick the Taskbar and the Start menu opens, pick the Enter gate and it plays

• Changing a setting re-draws that section and keeps its window open, so you can see the change you just made

Common issues

"Theme upload failed" Make sure you uploaded the theme zip itself, not a folder or archive that contains it.

Settings look stale, or a change seems to undo itself Hard refresh the theme editor (Cmd + Shift + R on Mac, Ctrl + Shift + R on Windows). If you also edit the theme's code elsewhere — through GitHub, say — reload the editor before saving in it, or it can save an older copy over newer work.
