Collection Description Too Large & Narrow - Dawn Theme

Topic summary

Issue: The collection page description in the Dawn theme appears excessively large and constrained in a narrow column.

Context: Helpers requested the store URL and clarification; the store link was provided. No password was needed.

Proposed fix (CSS):

  • Edit the theme’s CSS file (base.css or theme.css).
  • Add a media query for desktop screens (min-width: 750px) targeting the collection description immediately following the title: .collection-hero__title + .collection-hero__description.
  • Set width and max-width to 100% and adjust font size to 1.6rem.

Effect: On larger screens, the collection description expands to full width and uses a smaller, consistent font size. Before/after images and a code snippet are central to understanding the solution.

Outcome/Status: A concrete code solution was provided with step-by-step guidance and an example result. The original poster has not yet confirmed the fix, so resolution is pending user feedback.
