How to make multicolumn images on mobile smaller Dawn 7.0.1

Topic summary

A user seeks help with two Dawn theme customization issues on mobile:

1. Reducing multicolumn image size on mobile:

  • Solution involves adding CSS to base.css file
  • Code targets grid items in mobile sliders with max-width 500px
  • Uses calc(100% - var(--grid-mobile-horizontal-spacing) - 9rem) for width
  • Can adjust size by changing the rem value (10rem, 14rem, etc.)

2. Adding padding to image banners (“Our Mission” section):

  • Solution requires editing section-image-banner.css
  • Add media query for screens max-width 500px
  • Apply padding (e.g., 18px) to .banner__content class
  • Addresses missing mobile padding option in theme settings

Both solutions use custom CSS with mobile-specific media queries. A community member provided code snippets and visual examples showing the expected results.

So I need help with two things, one is how to make multicolumn images on mobile smaller and also how can I create space/padding in the image banners (Our Mission) for the sections of the website, I don’t have the padding for mobile option on the theme. Please see image, I’ve also added the website. Thanks

Point 2:

  1. Go to Theme->Edit code, find file name “section-image-banner.css”, add this code to add padding
@media screen and (max-width: 500px) {
   .banner__content {
      padding: 18px;
   }
}

This means in screen has max-width 500px (mobile screen), we’ll add padding 18px for the banner

Point 1: I’m not sure if I understand it right. If you want images in the slider smaller, add this code in file name “base.css”

@media screen and (max-width: 500px) {
   .slider--mobile.grid--peek.grid--1-col-tablet-down .grid__item {
       width: calc(100% - var(--grid-mobile-horizontal-spacing) - 9rem);
   }
}

If you want it to be smaller, just increase to - 10rem, - 14rem, …

The result will be as the following image:

Hope it helps @ellecastle
