How do i decrease padding on logo in header - brooklyn theme

Topic summary

Issue: The header logo in the Brooklyn theme shows excessive padding/space. The user wants it reduced to match a provided reference. Images comparing current and desired spacing are central to understanding the goal.

Proposed fix (CSS): Add a custom rule to the bottom of theme.scss (the theme’s main stylesheet) to adjust the header navigation’s position:

  • Set the element to position: relative.
  • Shift it upward using top: -42px with !important to override defaults.
    This effectively reduces the visible gap around the logo by moving the nav block up.

Alternative approach: Edit the logo image itself to remove built-in whitespace/padding, which can reduce perceived padding without layout changes.

Outcome: The original poster acknowledged with thanks. No confirmation on which solution was implemented. No further issues reported.

Status: Likely resolved, though not explicitly marked. Key decision points are whether to adjust layout via CSS in theme.scss or modify the image asset’s padding.
