Dawn Theme - How to lessen multicolumn padding for mobile

Topic summary

Goal: Reduce excessive spacing between Multicolumn columns on mobile in the Dawn theme while keeping swipe/scroll behavior.

Context: OP provided a store preview, access code, and an image showing the wide gaps. Images illustrating the fix and outcome were also shared.

Proposed fix:

  • Edit Assets > base.css (or theme.css).
  • Add a mobile media query (max-width: 749px) that sets .grid–peek .grid__item { min-width: 27% !important; }.
  • This narrows each card’s width on small screens, reducing the gaps while preserving the horizontal swipe.

Notes:

  • The solution relies on a mobile breakpoint and adjusting item min-width to control spacing in the carousel/grid layout.
  • Attachments/screenshots are central, showing before/after spacing results.

Status: A solution was proposed with implementation steps and expected outcome. No confirmation from the original poster yet; resolution unconfirmed.

I’m trying to lessen the space in between the multicolumn columns for mobile devices. I want to keep the swipe feature as well.
