Dawn Theme Header Customization - How can I...?

Shopify Discussion

Topic summary

Customizing the Shopify Dawn theme header to match an existing website, focusing on two needs:

  • Change the Header Menu font.
  • Position Header Menu text beside the logo at the top-left, left-justified (currently the menu appears under the logo).

Visual references are central: two images show the current store header and the Dawn demo layout being targeted.

Latest input: A responder notes this is controlled by the theme’s default options and recommends checking Theme customization > Header section settings. No specific steps or code changes were provided.

Key terms: Dawn theme (Shopify’s default theme); Header Menu (navigation links in the site header).

Status: Unresolved. The exact method to change the font and adjust the menu positioning remains unanswered.

Action item: Review and adjust settings in the Header section of the theme customizer to achieve the desired font and layout; further guidance may be needed if settings don’t expose these controls.

Greetings!

I am trying to customize my Shopify store within the Dawn theme, so that it looks like my regular website. But, I ran into a couple of road blocks. My questions are:

1. How can I change the font of the Header Menu?

2. How can I get the Header Menu to look like the Dawn demo image below, which has the Header Menu text beside my logo in the top-left, and justified to the left? For some reason my Header Menu text is underneath the logo instead of beside it.

Image of my Shopify store:
