remove thumbnail image on product page and put a slider dots on Dawn Theme

Topic summary

A user wants to modify the Dawn theme’s product page by replacing image thumbnails with slider dots and adding navigation arrows.

Problem:

  • Default thumbnail list appears below product images
  • User wants dot-style navigation instead (similar to carousel indicators)
  • Needs left/right arrows for desktop and mobile navigation

Solution Provided:
A CSS code snippet was shared that:

  • Transforms thumbnails into circular dots (16px, centered)
  • Hides thumbnail images while maintaining dot indicators
  • Highlights the current/active dot with a specific background color
  • Should be added to the bottom of the base.css file

Status:
The dot navigation is working successfully. The user is now asking about adding directional arrows for image navigation on both desktop and mobile views. The discussion remains open regarding the arrow implementation.

Hi @GM15 , this part belongs to the theme’s settings. Can you check again in the theme settings in the Product information section to see if this change is included? Normally, some themes will allow users to change from showing list thumbnails to not showing list thumbnails

Best regards,

this is not possible on the dawn theme unfortunately.

Hello @Dan-From-Ryviu , you solved some of my issue before so thought you could know how to resolve that. thank you.

Hi @GM15

You can try to add this code to check

.thumbnail-slider .thumbnail-list {
    justify-content: center;
}
.thumbnail-slider .thumbnail-list__item.slider__slide {
    width: 16px !important;
    border-radius: 50%;
    border: 1px solid #012694;
    overflow: hidden;
}
.thumbnail-slider .thumbnail-list__item .thumbnail[aria-current] {
    background: #012694;
}
.thumbnail-slider .thumbnail-list__item .thumbnail img { opacity: 0 !important; }
