So far, I am liking this theme with customizations that were not available in previous theme. I have one important request that will put me from neutral to very happy! On the product page, when users click on different variant images, the variant does not change automatically in the drop down menu. This is creating a lot of confusion as it used to change in Vintage themes. Please add this. Thank u
great theme! the problem is that when updating to version 10 in the mobile menu, the announcement bar does not rotate automatically, checked on mobile, it does not work, and the animation on the main page does not work.. on mobile these changes do not work.
The new version 9.0.0 is terrible with the mobile version of the shop. I have the 7.0.1 in another website and works great with mobile but this new version is terrible! I hope you can fix this quick. Joselo.
Hello, we would love to hear what specifically is not working for you on mobile for Dawn version 9.0.0! Please contact our Support here (https://bit.ly/2AWw5VA) so we can take a closer look. Our themes are optimized for mobile devices since the majority of customers shop from their phones or tablets, so the most recent version of Dawn should follow this priority as well.
I wish I could have the option to turn on number of pages... or use the "Load More" Button for customers to continue exploring products in the collection page. Hope this gets added in the next update because Dawn is a really great theme! :)
Hi there, when the number of products in a collection exceeds the 'Products per page' setting, the page numbers will appear automatically at the bottom of the page. 'Load more' buttons are a negative customer experience, as it can be difficult to get back to the 'same spot' later. Page numbers make it easier for customers to find the products they need, as does collection filtering

Version 6.0.2 June 23, 2022
Dawn 6.0.2 introduces a new cart drawer feature, additional customization options on the rich text section, and various fixes and enhancements.
Added
- Important: We introduced new settings to the header section to control top and bottom section padding. This update may cause a visual change to your header. This can be modified by adjusting the bottom padding value.
- We introduced a new theme setting that allows you to control what happens when an item is added to cart. Choose between a cart drawer, a pop-up notification, or linking directly to the cart page.
- The rich text section is now more flexible. You can now customize the desktop content position, the content alignment, the size and formatting of headings, and the number of blocks added to the section.
Changed
- Important: We moved “Show vendor” and “Enable cart note” checkboxes from the cart template to the theme settings under the heading “Cart”. This update may cause a visual change to your cart. This can be modified by adjusting the checkboxes in the theme settings.
Fixes and improvements
- On larger screen sizes, the quick add modal included unnecessary empty space. This is now fixed.
- We fixed an issue where the product media gallery sometimes hid the subsequent media when larger values of horizontal grid space were used.
- The product media gallery included unnecessary empty space between the product media and the gallery controls. This is now fixed.

Version 5.0.0 April 19, 2022
Dawn v5.0.0 introduces new ways to customize the look and feel of your store with a vertical product filter layout, mega menu header style, and a quick add button option. This update also features fixes and improvements, including several accessibility enhancements.
Added
- Important: We’ve introduced a new vertical product filter layout so you can further customize your store’s filters. You’ll find this setting in the collection and search templates. This update may cause a visual change to your theme. If you previously selected the “Collapse on desktop” checkbox, your filter layout will be changed to horizontal, which is the new default. If you’d like to achieve the collapsed style, select “Drawer” from the “Desktop filter layout” dropdown.
- Important: You can now control the number of desktop and mobile grid columns in the collections list page, giving you more options to express your brand’s look and feel. This update may cause a layout change because columns will no longer automatically adjust to fill the available screen width. This can be modified by adjusting the number of columns setting.
- We’ve added the ability to choose a mega menu style in the header section, providing better support for menus with many items.
- You can now enable a quick add button on your product cards, allowing your customers to quickly add items to their cart. Find this setting in the collection template and the featured collection section.

- You can now adjust how many products to show in the product recommendations section, allowing you more control over the layout of your store.
- The theme’s product filtering functionality now supports boolean (true or false) custom filters.
Fixes and improvements
- Gradients will now be applied more predictably across the theme.
- In some cases, the maximum price wasn’t showing on the price filter. This is now fixed.

- The Shop Pay installments text will now be center aligned when there is no accompanying product media.
- There were some spacing inconsistencies in the product media gallery. This is now fixed.
- Empty columns in the multicolumn section were adding unnecessary vertical space. This is now fixed.
- We’re now providing improved information on how to create meaningful alt text in the video section.
- We fixed an issue with making products full width on featured collections.
Removed
- In the collection and search templates, the “Collapse on desktop” checkbox has been removed from the filtering and sorting settings. If you’d like to achieve the collapsed style, select “Drawer” from the “Desktop filter layout” dropdown.

This update also features fixes and improvements, including a fix ensuring the correct product details display in the cart notification.
Added
- Important: You can now define the size of your heading text in all sections, giving you more options to express your brand’s look and feel. This update may cause your theme's headings to appear bigger. To revert this, change your heading size settings to “Small”.
- Important: You can now control the number of desktop and mobile grid columns in many sections and templates, giving you more flexibility to customize the look of your store. This update may cause a layout change in some areas of your theme because columns will no longer automatically adjust to fill the available screen width. This can be modified by adjusting the number of columns setting in the affected areas. Find this new setting in: blog posts (desktop only), collection template, collection list, featured collection, multicolumn, product recommendations, and search results template.
- Duty charges will now be displayed on customer account order pages if applicable.
Changed
