Widget setting
- Widget height - tick Set widget height limit to give the options area a maximum height in pixels (200 by default; enter 200 or more). When the options are taller than that, a scrollbar appears inside the options area. It is off by default.

- Show selected option value next to title - shows the value the customer selected (for example a swatch) next to the option name (off by default).
- Scroll to first message error - when a customer clicks Add to cart or Buy it now with a missing or invalid option, the page scrolls to the first error (on by default).
Design Settings
The Design Settings tab has three sections. Each one has a Reset button to go back to the default look.
- Color - the colors of option titles, values, required character, error messages, help text, text inputs, dropdowns, checkbox/radio, switches, buttons and swatches. See Change the color for options.
- Border - Border size and Border radius for text inputs, buttons, dropdowns, swatches, quantity buttons and edit buttons.
- Size (Text & option size) - the text size and weight of option titles, values, add-on messages, help text and tooltips and error messages, and the size of text inputs, text areas, buttons, dropdowns, thumbnails, checkbox/radio, switches and swatches. See Set up the text & option size.
