Add image to header background on Dawn theme

Topic summary

Goal: set a background image for the header in the Shopify Dawn theme (Shopify’s default OS 2.0 theme). The requester saved a PNG to the theme’s assets and attempted edits in JSON templates, theme.liquid, and base.css, but the header background still does not display.

Current information: an example image link from Shopify stock photos was shared, and the asset is confirmed uploaded. No code snippets or theme settings details were provided.

Latest responses: multiple community members asked for the store URL and, if password-protected, the storefront password to inspect the issue directly.

Status: unresolved/ongoing. No working code or configuration guidance has been confirmed.

Next steps/action items:

  • Share the store URL and password (if enabled) so others can check selectors, theme version, and asset paths.
  • Clarify where the code was added and provide snippets for targeted troubleshooting.
