Berlin Theme - How to Left Align Header, Copy and Button on Slider

Store Design
, , ,

Topic summary

A user seeks to left-align header text, copy, and buttons on hero slider elements in the Berlin theme, which are currently center-aligned.

Solution Provided:
A community member offers CSS customization steps:

  • Navigate to Online Store > Themes > Assets folder
  • Open main.css (or base.css/style.css/theme.css)
  • Add custom CSS targeting .slideshow-slide__text and .slideshow-slide__desc.richtext__content classes
  • Apply left alignment with specific margin adjustments (5% left margin, 0px bottom padding)

Additional Requests:
The original poster asks about:

  • Left-aligning additional text elements (addressed with supplementary CSS)
  • Controlling text line breaks (helper notes this cannot be precisely controlled but suggests adding width constraints of 80rem to limit words per line)

Status: The discussion appears resolved with working CSS code provided, though the helper notes the solution is tested only on the demo theme and may require adjustments for the live store.

Hello,

Looking to left align the text on the hero intro sliders - around where the highlited box is

At present they are all centre and base on design would be better suited to the left, left alighted and nearer the bottom.

    margin-left: 0;
}
.slideshow-slide__text {
    margin-left: 5%;

Is there a way to break the text seen as
isnt accepted

We cannot control what words must be break what we can add width so it wouldn’t much words on the top.

I add code on the this.

.slideshow-slide__desc.richtext__content {
    text-align: left;
    margin-left: 0;
}
.slideshow-slide__text {
    margin-left: 5%;
    margin-bottom: 5%;
    padding-bottom: 0px;
    text-align: left;
    width: 80rem;
}

And Save.

And the thing is Im only using the demo theme. It may not be working on your store.
