Announcement Bar - Make skinnier

Topic summary

A user seeks to reduce the height of their Shopify store’s announcement bar.

A solution is provided involving custom CSS:

  • Navigate to Shopify admin → Online Store → Customize
  • Access Theme Settings → Custom CSS
  • Add code targeting .page-width.utility-bar__grid with padding-block: 0 !important;

The solution successfully reduces the announcement bar’s vertical padding, making it appear thinner. The original poster confirms the fix worked and requests additional help with a separate PayPal checkout button issue in another thread.
