color Change Default Color Theme in 7.1

Site URL: http://shannonewing.com

Does anyone know how to change the default color theme in 7.1? Somehow the default went from White Minimal to Black Minimal and it's affecting the way pages are loading.

Hi, 

I am having exactly the same issue did you find how to fix it?

@Claraclara I haven't — I'm still dealing with the wrong default 😕

I am having the same problem. Everything is defaulting to a my dark blue.

When they first rolled out 7.1, (default) was written next to the theme and you could double click on another theme to change that one to default. It seems like they have taken this function away now 😞 I'm contacting customer support now but just wondering if you found a solution?

It appears they removed this feature when they rolled out the last update to the color theme. I'm in the same bind with White Minimal being my only option on pages without banners.

I did reach out to Squarespace support, I'll post if there is a solution or at least a work around.

The solution I was told was to not use transparent headers. I suppose as long as you use a text based logo you would be fine as well since it will switch to be friendly no matter if it's a light/dark background in the header.

I find it strange that this feature is supported so poorly when it appears on almost every demo site. I just re-design an entire site in a less pleasing esthetic to fix this. 🥺

This is not a great solution because the "default color theme " whichh i guess is white minimal, still shows up in you use transparent header...  This thing without being able to control default theme is really unpleasant. 

Yes, I noticed that default feature was taken away. Which is extremely unfortunate, seeing as how somehow my site's default is black and I 99% of the time use one of the white color schemes. Very annoying. Would love a fix for this.
