Topic summary

Goal: Reduce the vertical space in Shopify’s Dawn theme between featured collection images and the numerical slider/pagination (e.g., “1 of 24”) on desktop and mobile.

What’s known:

  • The store owner has already minimized section padding in the theme editor; the gap persists, suggesting it may not be controlled by the standard padding setting.
  • Two screenshots were shared to illustrate the excessive gap; no public store URL was provided.

Requests/next steps:

  • Multiple respondents asked for the store URL (and password if protected) to inspect CSS/HTML and pinpoint the cause. One offered to receive it via private message.

Other posts:

  • Some replies were generic and off-topic, linking to unrelated sites and not providing actionable guidance.

Status:

  • No solution or code changes were provided. The issue remains unresolved.
  • Key action item: Share the store URL or relevant template/CSS snippets so contributors can identify the specific CSS affecting the spacing (likely within the featured collection slider/pagination area). Images are central to understanding the problem.

Hi - In the Dawn theme I would like to minimize the space for screen and mobile at the bottom of a featured collection between images and the numerical slider. I’m hoping someone has a solution for this. The space between the images and the numbers, (i.e., 1 of 24) is too big. I would like to reduce it.

Hi - Thanks for this but it’s not the padding control. I’ve already minimized the bottom padding as much as possible.

If this is related to a specific website, software, or platform, I would recommend checking the official documentation, user guides, or forums related to that specific product or service for detailed information about the “Dawn Theme Featured Collection Padding.” If it’s a more recent development or a specialized term used within a particular community, you may find relevant information by searching within that specific context or community.
