How can I make slideshow dots clickable in Dawn Theme 12.0.0?

Topic summary

  • Issue: Make slideshow pagination dots clickable in Shopify’s Dawn 12.0.0 without breaking header layering.

  • Symptom: Increasing z-index made dots clickable but caused the slideshow to overlay the header (z-order conflict), shown in a screenshot.

  • Context: z-index controls CSS stacking order; higher values appear on top.

  • Proposed fix: Increase the z-index of the relevant slideshow dots’ class combination from 2 to 6. A responder reported this works and pointed to the selector via a screenshot.

  • Request: The OP asked for step-by-step instructions or direct help to apply the change, indicating they still don’t understand how to implement it.

  • Status: No confirmed implementation by the OP; solution appears plausible but unverified in the thread. Discussion remains open.

  • Notes: Screenshots are central to identifying the exact selector to modify; the precise selector wasn’t provided in text. Reference/example site links were shared but are not necessary to grasp the issue.

Hey @AryavK ,

Just increase the z-index of this class combo. It was 2 by default, I changed to 6 and it works.
