How can I customize the header of the Dawn theme?

Store Design
1

Hi everyone,

This is my first time with shopify store. as i can see the system is very closed and not very open to everyone unless you know JS or CSS.

There are couple of things i would like to chnage in the defult theme. initially the header.

  1. i would like to remove the padding appearing above and below of my logo in the header
  2. the menu items/bar should be in the middle rather then everything is middle align.
  3. when the sticky header active, i would like to change its backgroud colour. and if possible shrink the size of the logo as well.

Thank you.

You need to hire a developer as the second and third point needs some HTML and JS edits.

Or if you have coding knowledge then share your header.liquid file code.

If helpful then please Like and Accept Solution. Want to modify or custom changes on store Hire me. Feel free to contact me on shopify.dev.34@gmail.com | Shopify Design Changes | Custom Modifications In to Shopify Theme
