Header Menu Issues ( Shopify Dawn Theme )

Topic summary

A user is experiencing a header menu alignment issue in Shopify’s Dawn theme. The “POLICIES” dropdown menu items are appearing on the left side in desktop mode, but they want them positioned differently (as shown in their reference image).

Two solutions were provided:

  1. CSS code injection - Add custom CSS code to the theme.liquid file above the </head> tag. The code targets the header menu styling to adjust positioning.

  2. Theme settings adjustment - Navigate to: Store Admin → Sales Channels → Online Store → Themes → Customize → Header → Desktop menu type, then change the setting to “Dropdown”.

The second solution appears simpler as it uses built-in theme settings rather than custom code. Both responses include screenshots demonstrating the implementation steps. The issue remains open with no confirmation from the original poster about which solution worked.
