Tighten Header Spacing? (Pursuit Theme)

Store Design

1

Hello,

I am hoping someone might be able to assist with a few customizations/adjustments. I am using the Pursuit theme from Mile High Themes.

I don’t like how much space the header takes up, I always feel that bulky headers are a waste of space and interfere with getting your product up higher and in front of your customer. In the attached image I highlighted the changes I’d like to make.

IDEALLY, I would like to remove the highlighted section altogether and add the account/login link to the main menu above the search. Preferably right justified if this can be done.

If there is no option or solution to do that, is there a way to close the gap a bit between the elements? (as noted by the sloppy yellow arrow)

I like a tight, but not crowded, layout. It seems like this theme in general has a lot of unnecessary padding between blocks/elements.

I am new to Shopify but I am very comfortable editing html and css code, if that’s where the solution to this lies. I just need to know where to go.

Thanks in advance!!

Hi @ChuckM

If your comfortable or familiar with the css you can look for padding or margin to lesser that space. If not please, share your store URL. Thanks!

I am good to edit & adjust the values as needed. I just need a little guidance as to where I would find the css code for the areas of the header that I’m referencing in the image.

Oh, it would be hard to give instruction for checking the code. But anyway if you can follow this.

i use the demo theme, the top padding is you need to adjust. Try the code below if it work.

  1. From you Admin page, go to Online Store > Themes
  2. Select the theme you want to edit
  3. Under the Asset folder, open the main.css(base.css, style.css or theme.css)
  4. Then place the code below at the very bottom of the file.
.site-header .site-header__mobile-nav {
    padding-top: 5px;
}
