Show Collections as buttons in Collections Section - Refresh Theme

Topic summary

A user wants to display their collections as styled buttons (similar to category buttons) on their Shopify store using the Refresh theme.

Initial Request:

  • Seeking to transform collection links into button-style elements
  • Provided a reference image showing the desired button layout

Proposed Solutions:
A support representative provided CSS code to add to the base.css file, including:

  • Border radius styling
  • Background color (#2f2a6e)
  • Margin and opacity adjustments for list menu items

Clarification:
The user clarified they specifically want the Collections section styled as buttons, not the menu navigation links. The initial CSS solution appears to have targeted menu items rather than the collections display.

Status: The discussion remains open, as the provided solution doesn’t match the user’s specific requirement for collection button styling.

Hi,

You can add the following CSS to the global CSS file in Edit code:

#menu-drawer .list-social form.shopify-currency-form {
    position: absolute;
}
#menu-drawer .list-social form.shopify-currency-form select {
    color: #9D9898;
}

I tried them and they are exactly what you want.

Thanks, but I dont want the Menu links turned to buttons, I want the “Collections” turned to buttons.
