Banners
Section titled “Banners”Stage, offers and tiles are banners with the banner fields of the theme: small line (eyebrow), lead text, button labels, second button, linked product and linked promotion. A banner linked to a product shows the product’s packshot on the scheme’s tile colour, so it follows every colour scheme; a banner without a product shows its own image. A linked promotion gives the “days left” bar and the countdown.
