DAWN THEME CUSTOMIZE HEADER AND PRODUCT PAGE

Topic summary

Customizing Dawn (Shopify’s default theme) to improve navigation and product/collection layouts.

Key requests:

  • Header navigation: make parent dropdown items (e.g., “SHOP”) clickable to show All Products; keep menus open while moving the cursor; enable hover-triggered menus and have submenus expand to the right instead of a long vertical list.
  • Product page: after moving the description below the gallery and centering it, add margin/padding so text doesn’t touch screen edges.
  • Product grid: enable a quick-buy/Add to Cart button on hover.
  • Collections: center the collection description and allow it to span the full section width.

Latest inputs:

  • One provider offered to implement and test across desktop/laptop/mobile, requesting store access off-platform.
  • A YouTube tutorial link was shared as a potential guide.
  • A later user reported parent links still not clickable despite linking to collections; response indicated theme code edits may be required and asked which theme is in use.

Status/outcomes:

  • No in-thread code snippets or step-by-step solutions provided; the video is the only DIY resource.
  • Issues remain open, especially making parent navigation items clickable and enabling quick-buy and layout adjustments.

ever get your top links to be clickable? I have assigned them links to collections pages but they are not clickable on live site still - thanks
