Spotlight Theme... make navigation text bigger?

Topic summary

A user seeks to increase the navigation text size in Shopify’s Spotlight theme. Multiple solutions are provided:

Primary Solutions:

  • Add custom CSS code to theme.liquid file (after <head> or before </body> tag)
  • Alternative: Add CSS to base.css file
  • Suggested font-size adjustments range from 18px to 22px with !important flag

Implementation Steps:

  1. Navigate to Online Store > Themes > Edit code
  2. Locate either theme.liquid or base.css file
  3. Insert provided CSS targeting header navigation elements

Follow-up Issues:

  • Original poster successfully implemented solution but requests font color change to black
  • Another user reports the “support” tab remains unchanged after applying the fix, creating visual inconsistency

The discussion remains partially unresolved, with the size increase working but additional styling adjustments needed for complete consistency across all navigation elements.

Hi all,

I am using the spotlight theme. I want to make the navigation text larger. Not tons bigger but enough that its noticeable. Been researching this and cant figure it out. Any help would be appreciated.

You can add this code to theme.liquid file, after in Online Store > Themes > Edit code to do that


Hello @Justin34

You can add code by following these steps

  1. Go to Online Store → Theme → Edit code.

  2. Open your theme.liquid file

  3. Paste the below code before on theme.liquid

@media screen and(min-width: 990px){ header ul.list-menu.list-menu--inline li a { font-size: 22px !important; /*adjust according to you*/ } }

Hi @Justin34

  1. In your Shopify Admin go to online store > themes > actions > edit code
  2. Find Asset > base.css and paste this at the bottom of the file:
.header__inline-menu ul li a{
font-size: 18px !important;
font-weight: 700;
}

Worked perfectly. Thank you! Do you know how to make the font black? Font seems to be a different color other than black. Thank you!

Hi Noah, I did try your solution and it worked out, however the “support” tab is still the same and it looks kinda off the navigation tab. Could you help me to solve this please? Here’s the screenshot.
