Goal: Set the slideshow (slider) in the Shopify Dawn theme to 1400 px width without enlarging the entire page.
Key solutions:
CSS in base.css (preferred, concrete): Add at the bottom of Assets > base.css: slideshow-component.page-width { max-width: 1400px; } This constrains only the slideshow section to 1400px while leaving other site elements unchanged.
Alternative approach: Add custom code in theme.liquid above the tag. (Details of the code were not shown in the thread; a screenshot demonstrated the result.)
Outcome and status:
The original poster confirmed success and expressed thanks after applying the guidance, indicating the issue is effectively resolved.
No additional questions or outstanding issues were raised.
Notes:
Visual examples (screenshots) were shared to illustrate the desired and achieved results.
Context: “Dawn” is Shopify’s default theme; changes were made via Online Store > Edit code to adjust only the slideshow component’s width.
