Announcement bar smaller

Topic summary

A user seeks to reduce the size of their announcement bar for both desktop and mobile versions of their Shopify store.

Initial Solution Attempted:

  • One responder suggested adding CSS code to the base.css file targeting .page-width.utility-bar__grid classes
  • This approach adjusts width and centers the bar using flexbox
  • The original poster reported this solution did not work

Alternative Solution Provided:

  • Another user offered different CSS code to add at the end of base.css
  • This targets multiple selectors including ul.list-unstyled.list-social, utility bar grid classes, and slideshow-component.announcement-bar
  • Sets a fixed height of 30px using !important flag
  • Includes a screenshot showing the expected result

Status: The discussion remains open with no confirmation whether the second solution resolved the issue.

In order to make the announcement bar small then you need to paste the following code in the end of base.css file.

.page-width.utility-bar__grid.utility-bar__grid--3-col {
  width: 65%;
  margin: 0 auto;
  display: flex;
  justify-content: center;
  align-items: center;
}

You can adjust the width based on your requirements.

Hi @JoaquinExcitare

You can try to follow this step
Step 1: Go to Edit code
Step 2: Find file base.css and add this code at the end of the file

ul.list-unstyled.list-social,
.page-width.utility-bar__grid.utility-bar__grid--3-col,
slideshow-component.announcement-bar {
    height: 30px !important;
}

Result

Best,
