Header & Navigation Layout Customizer
The Opportunity
A theme app that lets merchants visually adjust the header area without code, including logo size, logo position, menu spacing, and overlap behavior. It would help merchants fine-tune their storefront branding and navigation layout across themes.
"Merchants want to change logo size and position, overlap the navigation bar, and adjust menu alignment, but the theme editor/CSS changes are too limited or risky."
