in Boost them under collection there is extra setting under Theme settings 2 options , Image Shape and Image Alignment that allow my images in collections to stay even (see images) i also want to know if dawn can add the option to show each color as a separate style in collection , right now i managed to to do by custom coding , but i need to added manually each time the theme get updated to a new version , and one more add on , is the option to show available sizes on hover in collection , which i could not find in any theme , however my previous developer had thins functionality on my other website at https://www.dndshoes.com/products.html
also my website with dawn showing very low speed score (34)
You need version control. Please learn how to use it before you dive in. But there’s no reason why you can’t have a private git repository on your dev system and merge your changes to dawn updates. I suspect you also need a sandbox to test your merged theme before going live in production with it.
I like the addon!
As for speed score? Used to be people would loop collections to filter for the right one. Liquid now has a where filter which is much faster. If you’re using custom liquid to filter the collection: make sure it isn’t looping all collections to filter. The other thing is you might look at image optimization - check your image tags - make sure you aren’t loading 1000 width images when you only need 50. Looks like javascript is being used in the customization - open up your browser’s dev console and start looking for slowdowns. Bad javascript (or just poorly loaded good javascript) will make a site slow to a crawl like nothing else.
I know I’m late replying, but stumbled on this looking for an answer to a question I have about customizing dawn.
I hope you found your answers before now. Mostly putting this here for the next person in your shoes.
