Multicolumn: all columns in one row (dawn theme)

Topic summary

Goal: Show all four Multicolumn items in a single row on desktop (move “Save time” up), while keeping the existing two-row structure on mobile.

Proposed solutions:

  • CSS: Add a media query in section-multicolumn.css for screens ≥990px that sets each .multicolumn-list__item to 25% width (accounting for grid spacing). This forces four columns per row on desktop and leaves mobile unchanged.
  • Theme settings: Use Online Store → Themes → Customize → Multicolumn to adjust desktop column layout directly in the editor (screenshot provided).

Context and terms:

  • Dawn theme: Shopify’s default theme; Multicolumn is a section with configurable columns.
  • Media query: CSS rule that applies styles only above a specified screen width (e.g., 990px) to target desktop.

Outcome/status:

  • No confirmation yet that either method resolved the request; no errors or conflicts reported.
  • Discussion remains open pending the requester’s validation.

Notes:

  • Images illustrate desired desktop arrangement and unchanged mobile layout; they are central to understanding the request.

why are you asking? What am I missing?

Hi @10xfuel ,

This is Kate from PageFly - Landing page builder, I’d like to suggest this idea:
Step 1: Go to Online Store->Theme->Edit code
Step 2: Asset->/section-multicolumn.css->paste below code at the bottom of the file:

@media screen and (min-width: 990px) {
    .multicolumn-list .multicolumn-list__item {
        width: calc(25% - var(--grid-desktop-horizontal-spacing) * 3 / 4);
        max-width: calc(25% - var(--grid-desktop-horizontal-spacing) * 3 / 4);
    }
}

I hope it would help you
