How to Adjust H1 Font Size and Change Badge Colors in Your Shopify Impact Theme

There was a time when we innocently thought that customizing a Shopify theme would take just a couple of clicks. Like many others, we believed in the myth of simplicity. Then reality hit us: tinkering under the hood of a theme was like trying to understand why cats insist on sitting on keyboards. It was a beautiful mess. Today, let’s share one of those “aha!” moments, where our wrestling with code turned into a victory dance around our laptops.

Changing the H1 Font Size

Remember when we stared at our Shopify store and thought, “Why does this H1 font scream like a circus ringmaster?” Yeah, we’re about to solve that extravaganza. The Impact theme, much like a cat, doesn't reveal its secrets easily. But persisting brings rewards. Let’s dive into the enigma of font size.

Access Theme Editor: Start by logging into your Shopify admin. Head over to the “Online Store” section on the left, the hub where the magic begins. You’ll see your themes. Click “Customize” on the Impact theme.
Find the Right Spot: This is where we sometimes meander. Make sure you select the section of your page that has product pages – usually, this involves a bit of squinting at the screen.
Use the Inspector: Open your browser’s developer tools (you know, right-click and ‘Inspect’ or press Ctrl + Shift + I). Locate the H1 element on your product page. You might find yourself whispering encouragingly to your cursor as you do this. Identify the class or ID of the H1 tag, something along the lines of product-title or header.
Edit CSS: Now, here’s where the real wizardry begins. Go to your theme’s code by navigating to “Actions” -> “Edit code”. We’re like detectives hunting for clues - locate the file that contains CSS, often named theme.css.liquid or similar.
Add Your Custom Rule: At the end of the CSS file, add a new style rule. We’ll hold our breath as we type:
```
.product-title {
    font-size: 36px; /* Adjust this value to your liking */
}
```
Save and Celebrate: Hit save, refresh your product page, and behold the majesty of your new H1 font size! It’s a simple moment filled with elation and reverence.

Changing the Purple Badge Color

Purple badges. Those cheeky little design elements that punctuate your product pages, mimicking grapes in a fruit bowl. Changing their color is another ballet of patience and curiosity. Here’s how we did it:

Locate the Badge Element: With developer tools open, navigate to the element that represents these badges. We found ourselves muttering to the universe, “Where is that blasted badge hiding?”
Identify the Class: It’s often labeled something like .badge or .product-badge. These snippets are like breadcrumbs leading us to the grand feast of customization.
Back to the CSS File: Return to the comforting arms of the theme.css.liquid file. Add a style rule that will tame the badge’s color:
```
.product-badge {
    background-color: #3498db; /* Use your desired color */
}
```
Bask in the Glow: Save your changes and admire the transformation on your store’s page. Maybe it’s no longer a purple badge menace, but a serene hue reflecting your brand’s personality.

A Toast to Creativity and Persistence

We remember every code tweak and victory dance. Customizing a Shopify theme is a journey, filled with tiny challenges and triumphant wins. It’s about finding joy in the quest, similar to finding the last piece of a puzzle under the couch. It’s a world where we become composers conducting our checkout symphony.

In all seriousness, solving these issues is about empowerment. We've turned formidable technical hurdles into delightful trips down creativity lane! If today's adventure brought you that same sense of joy, drop us a comment – or better yet, share your own battle stories with H1 headings and badges. What color did you pick for your badge? How did your victory dance look?

Remember, each step we take refines our work. To anyone still experimenting, keep tweaking, keep dancing. This world of code isn’t just for techies but for any dreamer willing to embark on the journey. Let’s turn these challenges into highlights of our learning paths!

Cheers to customizing with unwearying enthusiasm!
