Product Title and Image Clickable Link to Product Page in Shopify Dawn Theme
Hey there, it's not clear whether you are asking a question or sharing feedback. If you are having difficulties with the Dawn theme, please contact our Support (https://bit.ly/2AWw5VA) so that we can help you with any roadblocks you are experiencing.
Can the Dawn theme on Shopify support up to 200 product categories and 20,000 individual items?
Hello, currently you can have unlimited products with up to 100 variants per product. We do know that this isn't enough for merchants with more complex catalogues, so we have announced that we will be supporting up to 2000 variants per product starting in 2024. You can find out more about this here (https://bit.ly/4dNO5Q5)!
I think this theme us thoroughly underestimated. Tried it again and love it! A few wishes! Always open/full width search bar. I would like the option to let filters be - closed, first open, all open. On the collections page - have load more instead of pagination. The recommendations section on the product should also have buy button options. Inventory status on product card on collections page.
Hey, thanks for trying out Dawn again and giving us this feedback. We appreciate know what our merchants are looking for out of the box with our themes so that we can consistently make them better with each update. You can view the Shopify Changelog (https://bit.ly/3N3WHop) to stay updated on changes and updates we make.
We started with this theme a year ago because we are minimalists and the code changes showed a fast moving project. However, the last few releases have not contained as much as last year. I think this project has great potential but it needs a user focused roadmap with a balance of new features and optimisations in each release. There are loads of simple enhancements but nothing being delivered.
Hey there, we appreciate the feedback about Dawn's releases not containing as much new content as you had hoped! While our motto with all our products is "merchants first", we can understand that later updates aren't as robust as they were in the beginning. We welcome merchants sharing this with us so we can make future updates better.

- Fixed a similar bug related to products without variant images.
- Updated branding and copy to change references from Twitter to X.
- Updated price filter to work with currency formats that use commas.
Version 13.0.1 February 21, 2024
Dawn 13.0.1 introduces a few fixes.
Changed
- The cart drawer header (Product, Total) is not sticky anymore when the content is scrollable
Fixes and improvements
- Fix product rating alignment when the product doesn't have a media
- Fix scroll issue on variant change

Version 13.0.0 January 31, 2024
Dawn 13.0.0 adds support for color swatches, improvements to the country selector, and tweaks and fixes to other sections. It also includes a breaking change to Color Schemes; see the Changed notes below for details.
Added
- The Variant Picker now supports color swatches! This depends on the Product Taxonomy feature, which is rolling out gradually over the coming weeks.
- We reworked the country selector, which now includes search, a new “popular countries” section, and a generally improved look and feel especially on smaller screens.
Changed
- Important: If you use Color Schemes, they will reset to their default values due to an internal change to the feature.
- If you are using the Search & Discovery app, you can now change how dynamic facet lists treat filters with no product matches.
Fixes and improvements
- We added a default font for input fields, they now inherit the body font instead of falling back to a system default font.
- We fixed an issue when adding cart notes that would prevent them from showing during checkout.
- We fixed an accessibility bug where filter colors were displaying incorrectly in high contrast mode.
- We updated the Multicolumn Section to provide a slider on tablet-sized screens, like it does on phone-sized screens.
- We fixed a bug where the Localization Selector was slightly obscured when using Sticky Header and scrolling while the selector was open.
- We fixed a bug that prevented the Product Grid Section from using the correct Image Shape in its Product Cards.
- We subtly increased the font size for inline quantity errors on product pages to make them more readable.
