dawn theme- images are not fitting in slideshow- Slideshow help

Store Design

Topic summary

Homepage slideshow images in the Shopify Dawn theme appear out of proportion on desktop despite slide height and heading size set to Medium. The layout looks correct on mobile (including button placement), but desktop shows oversized slides, misaligned buttons, or cropped images even after the user resizes assets.

The user wants the desktop to mirror the mobile presentation. A store preview URL and password were provided for context.

Edit: The second slideshow image also fails to fit properly on mobile, expanding the issue beyond desktop.

The user is seeking clear guidance on the recommended image dimensions/specs for the slideshow with “Medium” height/heading, and instructions to place the button under the slideshow on desktop similarly to mobile behavior.

Multiple screenshots compare the expected vs. actual results; these attachments are central to understanding the visual issues.

The user expresses frustration at the lack of straightforward size guidance and declines offers that direct them to paid external help.

Status: No solution has been provided yet. Key open questions include the correct image sizing/aspect ratio for Medium slideshow and how to adjust button placement on desktop to match mobile.

Hi,

I am using dawn theme. I have a slideshow on the home page-

(slide height set to medium. Heading size set to medium.)

however the images I am using are out of proportion when I full screen the website.

The website looks great on mobile- button exactly where I want it etc but really struggling on desktop- the slideshow is either way to big- button out of place or image out of proportion even if I resize the image.

I want the website to look like it does on Mobile.

EDIT: the second image doesn’t fit on mobile either… don’t understand why I’m having such a hard time with something as simple as images… please help.

This is how I want it to look:

Hi, I have looked everywhere to try and find the image sizes for the medium header for the slideshow and I have been unable to find them.

I also want to put the button under the slideshow like it is on mobile- how do I do this? I thought Shopify was meant to make things simple.. this is turning out to be hard work.

Sorry this is a community page- Posting a external link to try to get money is kind of low- I am not wanting to pay.
