DAWN THEME 2.0 | Blurry Image After Enabling Mobile And Desktop Images Separately

Topic summary

Dawn 2.0 homepage banner configured to show different images on desktop and mobile via CSS media queries; desktop image appeared blurry after enabling separate images. The initial CSS toggled .banner__media elements based on screen width (>=750px vs <=749px).

After sharing the image-banner.liquid snippet (Shopify’s Liquid templating for the banner), the setup worked but the desktop image was cropped at the top and bottom. Liquid settings like adapt_height_first_image and aspect_ratio handling were visible, indicating height adaptation logic.

A site access request was made, followed by a DM exchange to review the implementation. Code snippets were central to diagnosing the issue.

Final fix: add a CSS rule in Assets > base.css to set a desktop min-height for the specific banner ID (#Banner-template–16622607663336__image_banner) at min-width 750px: min-height: 102rem. This adjustment aims to prevent cropping on desktop by enforcing sufficient vertical space.

Outcome: the user expressed thanks, suggesting the cropping issue was resolved. The thread appears resolved with no pending questions.

Hi,

I am currently using the Dawn 2.0 theme which allows you to have two images on the homepage banner. I add this code to the section-image-banner.css to have one different image for mobile and desktop:

.banner__media:first-child {
width: 100%;
}
.banner__media+.banner__media {
display: none;
}
@media screen and (max-width: 749px) {
.banner__media:first-child {
display: none;
}
.banner__media+.banner__media {
width: 100%;
display: block !important;
}
}

However, after implementing the code, the image on desktop became blurry.

Can anyone help?

Hi @Lucie06 ,

Please send me the code of image-banner.liquid file, I will help you to change it

Hi Litos,

Thank you for your help. It’s seems to work now, but on my desktop the image is a bit cut at the top and bottom. Here is the code if you could check it:

{% if section.settings.link != blank %}

<a class=“ezfy-custom-link”
href=“{{ section.settings.link }}”
{% if section.settings.new_tab %}target=“_blank”{% endif %}

.image-banner-section{ position: relative; } #shopify-section-header{ z-index: 4 !important; } .image-banner-section a.ezfy-custom-link{ position: absolute; display: block; top: 0; left: 0; right: 0; bottom: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; z-index: 3; }

{% endif %}

{{ ‘section-image-banner.css’ | asset_url | stylesheet_tag }}

{%- if section.settings.adapt_height_first_image and section.settings.image != blank -%}
{%- style -%}
@media screen and (max-width: 749px) {
#Banner-{{ section.id }}::before,
#Banner-{{ section.id }} .banner__media::before,
#Banner-{{ section.id }}:not(.banner–mobile-bottom) .banner__content::before {
padding-bottom: {{ 1 | divided_by: section.settings.image.aspect_ratio | times: 100 }}%;
content: ‘’;
display: block;
}
}

@media screen and (min-width: 750px) {
#Banner-{{ section.id }}::before,
#Banner-{{ section.id }} .banner__media::before {
padding-bottom: {{ 1 | divided_by: section.settings.image.aspect_ratio | times: 100 }}%;
content: ‘’;
display: block;
}
}
{%- endstyle -%}
{%- endif -%}

{%- style -%}
#Banner-{{ section.id }}::after {
opacity: {{ section.settings.image_overlay_opacity | divided_by: 100.0 }};
}
{%- endstyle -%}

{%- if section.settings.image != blank -%}
{{ section.settings.image.alt | escape }}
{%- elsif section.settings.image_2 == blank -%}
{{ 'lifestyle-2' | placeholder_svg_tag: 'placeholder-svg' }}
{%- endif -%} {%- if section.settings.image_2 != blank -%}
{{ section.settings.image_2.alt | escape }}
{%- endif -%}
{%- for block in section.blocks -%} {%- case block.type -%} {%- when 'heading' -%}

{{ block.settings.heading | escape }}

{%- when 'text' -%}
{{ block.settings.text | escape }}
{%- when 'buttons' -%}
{%- if block.settings.button_label_1 != blank -%} {{ block.settings.button_label_1 | escape }} {%- endif -%} {%- if block.settings.button_label_2 != blank -%} {{ block.settings.button_label_2 | escape }} {%- endif -%}
{%- endcase -%} {%- endfor -%}
