Here they are, sorted alphabetically:

HTML - HTML version of template

HTML Version

Inside the css folder, we have all the stylesheets and vendor dependencies which our layout needs. You can use the color scheme according to your likeness.

css/app.css (Orange-Red color scheme)
css/app.color2.css (Carmine-Red color scheme)
css/app.color3.css (Blue (RYB) color scheme)
css/app.color4.css (Dark-Spring-Green color scheme)
css/app.color5.css (Electric-Purple color scheme)
css/app.color6.css (Old-Burgundy color scheme)
css/app.color7.css (Blue-Sapphire color scheme)
css/app.color8.css (Yale-Blue color scheme)
css/app.color9.css (Eerie-Black color scheme)
css/app.color10.css (Candy-Apple-Red color scheme)

Inside the scss folder, we have 6 folders and these folders have scss files.

src/scss/abstracts

The abstracts folder gathers all Sass tools and helpers used across the project. Every global variable, function, and mixin should be put in here. The rule of thumb for this folder is that it should not output a single line of CSS when compiled on its own. These are nothing but Sass helpers. Inside this folder it has another folder named mixins-module, the file on this folder has a mixin which will generate space utility classes.

src/scss/utility.scss

This file is invoking a mixin from mixins-module which will generate space utility classes, these utility classes are also called low-level utility classes that make it easy to build complex user interfaces.

src/scss/base

The base folder holds what we might call the boilerplate code for the project. In there, you might find some typographic rules, defining some standard styles for commonly used HTML elements.

src/scss/components

Components are reusable styles on the layout. It contains all kind of specific modules like a button, a select-box and anything along those lines. There are usually a lot of folders since the whole site/application should be mostly composed of tiny modules. _all.scss is just importing file which contains all code base of the folder. In Bottom, you will see all components file and their usage on different places of the layout.

src/scss/components/breadcrumb/_breadcrumb.scss

src/scss/components/button/_button.scss

src/scss/components/checkbox-radio/_checkbox-radio.scss

src/scss/components/countdown/_countdown.scss

src/scss/components/input-counter/_input-counter.scss

src/scss/components/input-text/_input-text.scss

src/scss/components/modal/_modal.scss

src/scss/components/preload-img-aspect-ratio/_preload-img-aspect-ratio.scss

What does it mean preload-img-aspect-ratio component?

It's a component that associate with some CSS classes and these classes help to set default placeholder on 4:3 (SQUARE) or 16:9 (WIDE) images.

<!-- Markup:1 For 4:3 (Square) Images -->
<a class="aspect aspect--bg-grey aspect--square u-d-block">
    <img src="image.jpg" class="aspect__img" alt="">
</a>

<!-- Markup:2 For 16:9 (Wide) Images -->
<div class="aspect aspect--bg-grey aspect--1286-890">
   <img src="image.jpg" class="aspect__img" alt="">
</div>

.aspect {
  position: relative; }

.aspect--bg-grey {
  background-color: #f5f5f5; }

.aspect--bg-grey-fb {
  background-color: #fbfbfb; }

.aspect--square {
  padding-bottom: 100%; }

/*
  * Add this class to image child element.
 */
.aspect__img {
  position: absolute;
  width: 100%;
  height: 100%; }

Some Points to use Aspect Ratio Component classes

Make sure the element on which it adds, it would be a block or inline-block element, if it is not then you could add utility class 'u-d-block', 'u-d-inline-block' or you could directly target that element with CSS to make inline or block.
By default '.aspect--square' or '.aspect--16:9: resolution' class takes height according to the height of the child image element.
But if the parent element is a flex element then aspect ratio technique doesn't work because '.aspect--square' or '.aspect--16:9: resolution' contains padding top/bottom property with a percentage value.
There are also some cases you do not want to have '.aspect--square' or '.aspect--16:9: resolution' class to take width & height that match with child image element. Then you could append CSS class or directly target that parent element with CSS and set your custom width & height.
If the image has aspect ratio square, i.e. 4:3 then you would add class '.aspect--square' on the element. This class has a padding-bottom:100% property. 100% means to take the entire height of the image.
If the image doesn't have aspect ratio square then to make a custom class like '.aspect--imageWidth-imageHeight' and use ready-made sass function() nonsquare(imageWidth,imageHeight) that returns padding-bottom property with the value calculated according to image resolution.
You could also change the background-color of placeholder according to your own choice. By default, only 2 classes are generated.

src/scss/components/product/_product.scss

src/scss/components/select-box/_select-box.scss

src/scss/components/textarea/_textarea.scss

src/scss/layout

The layout folder contains everything which takes part in laying out the site or application. This folder could have stylesheets for the main parts of the site (header, footer), the grid system or even CSS styles for all the forms.

src/scss/pages

Pages folder contains styles per page.

src/scss/vendors-extensions

It just overrides vendor dependencies and every vendor dependency file is separately created.

src/scss/app.scss

This is the main file that is importing all other scss files and compiles into the app.css file.

Inside the js folder, we have all the javascript and vendor dependencies which our layout needs.

src/js/app.js

This is the main file which contains all functionality and plugins invocation of our layout.

src/js/jquery.shopnav.js

This plugin contains functionality for navigation. Navigation includes DROP-DOWNS and VERTICAL MEGA-MENU.

src/js/map-init.js

This file contains google maps functionality.

src/js/vendor.js

This file contains all vendor libraries source code.

Change Features

1. Google Fonts

The template is using sans-serif font Open Sans from Google Fonts. You could change according to your choice. Erase that line from html files, and put new one here.

<link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans:400,600,700,800" rel="stylesheet">

After that also specify rule in CSS.

font-family: "Open Sans", -apple-system, system-ui, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif;

2. Disable Preloader from pages

The template is using preloader until body configuration class config is not removed. Preloader will be hidden when the config class is removed. But it is not necessary to show preloader during page load. If you remove preloader then it doesn't affect the look & feel of the page. So you could disable preloader. All HTML files have this markup underneath body element.

<div class="preloader is-active">
   <div class="preloader__wrap">
      <img class="preloader__img" src="images/preloader.png" alt="">
   </div>
</div>

Remove this markup from all html files.

After that in the app.js file, there is a method named RESHOP.appConfiguration() inside that method comment the line.

RESHOP.appConfiguration = function () {
  $('body').removeAttr('class');
  //  $('.preloader').removeClass('is-active');
};

3. Disable Modal

Default when you visit the Homepage a newsletter modal will pop up. You can disable the newsletter modal by editing the file app.js. This file is invoking a method named showNewsletterModal() inside window load event, comment that line modal will not show.

$(window).on('load', function () {
  // RESHOP.showNewsletterModal();
});

4. Slider Options

The template contains 8 methods which are associated with 8 sliders.

/*
 * Hero Slider / Primary Slider
 * Index, Index-2, Index-3
 */
RESHOP.primarySlider();

/*
 * Product Slider
 */
RESHOP.productSlider();

/*
 * Tab Slider
 * Index-2 (Only)
 */
RESHOP.tabSlider();

/*
 * Brand Slider
 */
RESHOP.brandSlider();

/*
 * Testimonial Slider
 */
RESHOP.testimonialSlider();

/*
 * Blog Post Slider
 */
RESHOP.blogPostGallery();

/*
 * Product Detail Slider
 * Include Thumbnail Slider
 * Remember this method doesn't have
 * any relation with (Modal Product Detail Slider)
 */
RESHOP.productDetailInit();

/*
 * Product Detail Slider
 * Include Thumbnail Slider
 */
RESHOP.modalProductDetailInit();

Bottom code is showing methods body where you could change the slider options.

/*
 * Hero Slider / Primary Slider
 * Index, Index-2, Index-3
 */
RESHOP.primarySlider = function () {
  $primarySlider.owlCarousel({});
};

/*
 * Product Slider
 */
RESHOP.productSlider = function () {
  thisInstance.owlCarousel({});
};

/*
 * Tab Slider
 * Index-2 (Only)
 */
RESHOP.tabSlider = function () {
  thisInstance.owlCarousel({});
};

/*
 * Brand Slider
 */
RESHOP.brandSlider = function () {
  .owlCarousel({});
};

/*
 * Testimonial Slider
 */
RESHOP.testimonialSlider = function () {
  .owlCarousel({});
};

/*
 * Blog Post Slider
 */
RESHOP.blogPostGallery = function () {
  $(this).owlCarousel({});
};

/*
 * Product Detail Slider
 * Include Thumbnail Slider
 * Remember this method doesn't have any
 * relation with (Modal Product Detail Slider)
 */
RESHOP.productDetailInit = function () {
  $productDetailElement.slick({});
  $productDetailElementThumbnail.slick({});
};

/*
 * Product Detail Slider
 * Include Thumbnail Slider
 */
RESHOP.modalProductDetailInit = function () {
  $modalProductDetailElement.slick({});
  $modalProductDetailElementThumbnail.slick({});
};

5. Change color scheme

All .html pages are included with default color scheme i.e. app.css.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html class="no-js" lang="en">
<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <!--[if IE]><meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge"><![endif]-->
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1, shrink-to-fit=no">
    <meta name="description" content="">
    <meta name="author" content="">
    <link href="images/favicon.png" rel="shortcut icon">
    <title>Ludus - Electronics, Apparel, Computers, Books, DVDs & more</title>

    <!--====== Google Font ======-->
    <link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans:400,600,700,800" rel="stylesheet">

    <!--====== Vendor Css ======-->
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/vendor.css">

    <!--====== Utility-Spacing ======-->
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/utility.css">

    <!--====== App Default color scheme ======-->
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/app.css">
</head>

You can change the stylesheet according to your color scheme, just erase the old <link> tag with the new one.

<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/app.color3.css">

6. Change Template from Wide to Box

You can see all default pages are wide. Change page from wide into a box, by adding this CSS class boxed on html element.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html class="no-js boxed" lang="en">
