How can I make collection list links overlay on images?

Store Design

As the question says, I would like the links to my collections overlay, perhaps as buttons, instead of appearing as text under each image. I don’t see a customization option in the template editor, but maybe I’m missing something. Here is a screenshot of another store - this is how I would like mine to look, but with slightly larger text.

Or, barring that, I would like to have some control over how the text links appear under my collection images. It’s too large now. Thank you!

Hi @CapitalC

Try this one.

  1. From your Shopify admin dashboard, click on “Online Store” and then “Themes”.
  2. Find the theme that you want to edit and click on “Actions” and then “Edit code”.
  3. In the “Assets” folder, click on “base.css, style.css or theme.css” file, depending on which file your theme uses to store its CSS styles. At the bottom of the file, add the following CSS code:
.collection-list-wrapper .card__content {
    position: absolute;
    bottom: 10px;
}

.collection-list-wrapper .card__heading a {
    color: white;
}

Thank you!

Is there something I can add to the code to right-justify the overlaid text?

Yes, replace on this code. I aslo remove the arrow.

.collection-list-wrapper .card__content {
    position: absolute;
    bottom: 10px;
}

.collection-list-wrapper .card__heading a {
    color: white;
}

.collection-list-wrapper .card__heading {
    text-align: right;
    padding-right: 5px;
}

.collection-list-wrapper .card__heading span.icon-wrap {
    display: none;
}

And Save.

Result:

That works, thank you. One more thing: Is there a line that I can add to put a translucent background just behind the text, so be sure it shows over any color in the photo? Maybe like an 80% black highlight behind?

Do you mean like this?

If it is, add this one same instruction.

.collection-list-wrapper h3.card__heading {
    background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.7);
    width: fit-content;
}
.collection-list-wrapper .card__information {
    justify-self: end;
}
.collection-list-wrapper .card__heading {
 padding-left: 5px;
}

And Save.
