# How to Customize Invoice Colors and Fonts

Invoice Falcon's Visual Editor lets you change the accent color for your invoice headers and choose a custom font — all without editing any code. The accent color applies to section headings, table headers, icons, and links across your invoice. The font setting controls the typeface and base size used for all text in the document.

### Open the Visual Editor

1. Open the **Invoice Falcon** app from your Shopify Admin.
2. Click **Templates** in the left navigation menu.
3. Click on the template you want to customize (or click **Edit** on the template row).
4. Scroll to the **Visual editor** section and click the **Open visual editor** button.

The Visual Editor opens in a full-screen modal with settings on the left and a live preview on the right.

### Change the accent color for headers

The **Color** section controls the accent color used throughout your invoice. This color is applied to:

* **Document title** (e.g., "Invoice", "Quote", "Packing Slip")
* **Section headings** (e.g., "Ship To", "Bill To", "Payment Information")
* **Table column headers** in the items table (e.g., Item, Qty, Price, Total)
* **Table header border** (the line below the column headings)
* **Contact icons** next to the shop email and phone number
* **Social media links** in the footer (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter)

#### Steps to change the color

1. In the Visual Editor, click the **Color** section to expand it.
2. Use the **color picker** to select your desired color by clicking and dragging on the color palette. You can also adjust the hue using the vertical slider on the right side of the picker.
3. Alternatively, enter a specific hex color code in the **Hex color** field (e.g., `1A73E8` for blue, `D4380D` for red, `2E7D32` for green). The field automatically adds the `#` prefix.
4. The live preview on the right updates immediately so you can see how the color looks on your invoice.
5. Click **Save changes** at the top of the Visual Editor when you are happy with the color.

| **Tip:** Choose a color that matches your brand. A high-contrast color (dark on white background) ensures your headings remain easy to read when the invoice is printed.

### Use a custom font on invoices

The **Fonts** section lets you choose a font family and adjust the base font size for all text on your invoice.

###### Available fonts: 

Invoice Falcon includes 15 font options:

| Font | Style |
| ---- |
| Roboto | Sans-serif (default) |
| Montserrat | Sans-serif |
| Open Sans | Sans-serif |
| Source Sans 3 | Sans-serif |
| Noto Sans | Sans-serif |
| Noto Serif | Serif |
| PT Serif | Serif |
| Oswald | Sans-serif |
| Ubuntu | Sans-serif |
| Courier Prime | Monospace |
| System Default | System font |
| Arial | Sans-serif |
| Helvetica | Sans-serif |
| Georgia | Serif |
| Times New Roman | Serif |

#### Steps to change the font

1. In the Visual Editor, click the **Fonts** section to expand it.
2. Open the **Font family** dropdown and select your desired font. The live preview updates immediately so you can compare how different fonts look on your invoice.
3. Adjust the **Font Size** slider to change the base font size. The slider ranges from **10px** to **18px** in 1px increments. The current size is displayed next to the slider label (e.g., "Font Size: 12px").
4. Click **Save changes** at the top of the Visual Editor when you are satisfied with the font and size.

| **Tip:** Serif fonts like Georgia and PT Serif give invoices a more traditional look. Sans-serif fonts like Roboto and Open Sans feel modern and clean. Courier Prime (monospace) is useful if you want a typewriter-style appearance.

### Known limitations

* **Accent color is global** — the accent color applies to all colored elements (headings, table headers, icons, links) on the invoice at once. You cannot set different colors for different sections from the Visual Editor. To use different colors for individual elements, edit the template code directly in the Code Editor.
* **Font applies to the entire invoice** — the font family setting changes all text on the invoice. You cannot use different fonts for headings vs. body text from the Visual Editor. Use the Code Editor for per-element font overrides.
* **Font size is the base size** — the actual size of headings and sub-text is calculated relative to this base size (e.g., headings may be 150% of the base size). Adjusting the slider scales all text proportionally.
* **Custom font uploads are not supported** — you can only choose from the 15 fonts listed above. You cannot upload your own font file.
* **Settings are per-template** — color and font changes apply only to the template you are editing. Other templates keep their own settings.

### Troubleshooting

| Symptom | Likely Cause | Fix |
| ---- |
| Color does not change after picking | Hex code field has fewer than 6 characters | Enter a full 6-character hex code (e.g., `1A73E8`) or use the color picker |
| Font preview looks the same for two fonts | Some fonts look similar at small sizes | Try increasing the font size or comparing serif vs. sans-serif options |
| Color or font changes not saved | You closed the Visual Editor without saving | Reopen the Visual Editor, make the changes again, and click **Save changes** before closing |
| PDF invoice looks different from preview | PDF rendering may differ slightly | This is expected for some fonts. Roboto, Arial, and Times New Roman render most consistently in PDFs |

### FAQs

**Q: What is the default accent color?**
A: The default accent color is black (`#000000`).

**Q: What is the default font?**
A: The default font is Roboto at 12px.

**Q: Can I use different colors for the title and table headers?**
A: Not from the Visual Editor. The accent color applies to all colored elements. To customize individual elements, edit the template HTML in the Code Editor using inline CSS.

**Q: Will changing the font affect previously generated invoices?**

A: Noto Sans and Noto Serif have broad Unicode support. If your invoices include non-Latin text, these are the recommended font choices.
