For your convenience, PrestaShop made multi-stores configuration more accessible and more evident. It added the header. You can customize its colors for one or more of your stores. Such a feature lessens the possibility to confuse stores while updating it’s parameters.
A drop-down setting is implemented to the “all shops” context and group contexts. The best thing about it is that it shows the entire user sight of shop settings and changes have been made to them.
