Studio Theme: Changing the hamburger menu to a regular desktop menu on all devices

Topic summary

Main issue: Replace the Studio theme’s hamburger menu (mobile icon menu) with a full “desktop” navigation on all devices, per a client request.

Key inputs:

  • One reply suggested only changing the hamburger icon color via Appearance > Customize > Theme Options > Header > Responsive Menu Button Color (does not solve the layout change).
  • Another noted this requires advanced theme code customization and likely a Shopify developer.

Spin-off request: A different member wants the opposite—force a hamburger menu on desktop and all devices—and asked how to find a developer. No immediate solution was provided; they later reported no success.

Latest update: A participant posted an image labeled “the solution!” but provided no steps or code. The attachment appears central to the purported fix, yet the solution details are not described in text.

Status: No documented, reproducible solution in the thread for either requirement. Implementation remains unclear and likely needs custom theme code; the discussion is effectively unresolved.

How can I change the hamburger menu on the studio theme to a regular menu “Desktop Navigation menu” on all devices, as my customer doesn’t want a hamburger menu to be displayed.

You can go to Appearance > Customize > Theme Options > Header > Responsive Menu Button Color, to change the burger menu icon color.

Hi, it needs some advanced changes to your theme code. I don’t think anyone can help in this matter without charging you. Get help from any Shopify developer.

Thanks Zahid. I actually want the reverse of this query - I want hamburger on desktop / across all devices and browsers. Is it the same principle, I need a developer? How do I find one? New here sorry!

Hi West End Works, did you manage to do this? Hamburger menu across all devices and browsers?

Sadly not

Ok if I figure it out I’ll let you know, I used to code quite a bit, getting back into it!
