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! :)

Reply from Shopify May 03, 2023

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 3.0.0 January 27, 2022

Dawn 3.0.0 introduces a new suite of theme style settings to let you customize the overall look and feel of your store.

Added

  • Layout theme settings let you change the amount of spacing between each section, as well as the spacing between repeated items within sections.
  • New theme settings let you change the look of your buttons, variant pills, inputs, badges, media, content containers, drawers, dropdowns, and pop-ups by editing their borders, corners, and shadow effects.
  • New theme settings on cards (product cards, collection cards, blog cards, collage section cards) let you pick from different styles, define text alignment, and edit their borders, corners, and shadow effects.
  • The new collapsible content section lets you add content to your pages using a layout composed of collapsible rows. It’s ideal to build a frequently asked questions page, or add a section with secondary information to your product pages.
  • We added new icon options to the collapsible row block on the product page.
  • We added a new color scheme setting on many sections, allowing more flexibility to customize the look of your store. Find it in: blog posts, collage, collapsible content, collection banner, contact form, custom liquid, featured collection, featured product, multicolumn, page, and product recommendations.
  • New top and bottom padding settings were added on most sections, letting you define the amount of space at the top and bottom of the section. Find it in: blog posts, cart items, collage, collapsible content, collection list, collection product grid, contact form, custom liquid, email signup, featured collection, featured product, footer, image with text, search results, multicolumn, product information, page, product recommendations, rich text, and video.
  • You can now define the amount of space between your header and the following section with a new bottom margin setting on the header section.
  • You can now define the amount of space between your footer and the previous section with a new top margin setting on the footer section.
  • We added support for app blocks to the featured product section.

Changed

  • The page width layout setting where you set the maximum width of your online store pages has changed to offer a range from 1000px to 1600px.

Removed

  • Important: Dawn no longer includes the Craft preset. If you’re interested in achieving the Craft look, you can now install the new Craft theme.

Version 2.5.0 December 20, 2021

Dawn 2.5.0 introduces a new slideshow section and new settings to further customize existing sections like product information, image banner, and image with text.

Added

  • The new slideshow section lets you display content in a slideshow format. Use it to feature promotions, or as an introduction to different collections.
  • We’ve added new settings to the product template, letting you choose between stacked or thumbnail layouts for your product media on larger screens. You can also now control the size of the product media on product templates for larger screens.
  • New content alignment settings were added to the image banner and email signup banner sections.
  • The image with text section has a new content layout option which allows you to overlap the content and associated image for a unique look.

Version 2.4.0 November 16, 2021

Dawn 2.4.0 introduces the ability to add links to the multicolumn section, and the ability to add an image to the email signup banner on the password page.

Added

  • You can now add a link to each column block on the multicolumn section.
  • Unit prices for each product line now appear on the cart page.
  • The password page now includes the ability to add an image background to further customize the look of your store. By default, the background is composed of an illustration that includes your theme’s accent color.

Fixes and improvements

  • We fixed an issue where the buttons on the image banner section were misaligned.
  • We fixed an issue with cart error translations.
  • We fixed an issue where the share functionality wasn’t reflecting the product’s variant.
