Topic summary

A user working with Shopify’s Dawn theme needed to display different chart images for desktop and mobile views—hiding the desktop version on mobile and vice versa.

Accepted Solution:
Dan-From-Ryviu provided CSS media queries to add to each image banner section’s Custom CSS:

  • Hide on mobile: @media (max-width: 767px) { .banner { display: none; } }
  • Hide on desktop: @media (min-width: 768px) { .banner { display: none; } }

Additional Issues Addressed:

  • iPad compatibility: Adjusted breakpoint from 768px to 767px for mobile hiding
  • Slideshow sections: Use .slideshow or slideshow-component instead of .banner
  • Performance concerns: Images still load in background; suggested lazy loading implementation via liquid file modifications
  • Stubborn sections: When Custom CSS fails, add code with section ID to theme.liquid file after <head> tag
  • Vessel theme: Replace .banner with .hero class

The discussion evolved from a simple hide/show request into troubleshooting various edge cases across different themes, devices, and section types. Multiple users confirmed the solution worked for their needs.
