How to Add slider to featured collection ( Dawn Theme)

Topic summary

A user sought to add navigation sliders to featured collections in the Dawn theme for both desktop and mobile views, with accompanying screenshots showing the desired layout.

Solution Provided:

  • Custom CSS code was shared to position slider navigation buttons and hide the counter
  • Initial code caused sliders to appear globally across the site
  • Refined code scoped the styling to .collection class to target only collection sections

Additional Customizations:

  • Hover effects were added to slider buttons to maintain white arrow visibility
  • A separate issue emerged where quantity increase/decrease icons disappeared on hover in the cart
  • Additional CSS (button.quantity__button:hover { color: black !important; }) resolved the icon visibility problem

Implementation Steps:
All solutions involved editing base.css, theme.css, or styles.css files through Shopify Admin → Online Store → Theme → Edit code.

The user confirmed all fixes worked successfully. Two video tutorials were later shared demonstrating alternative methods for adding collection sliders to Shopify stores.
