Horizon Mega Menu Image Enhancer

82% Confidence Medium Market Medium Difficulty $3k-8k MRR Updated May 18, 2026

The Opportunity

An app that lets merchants add images, icons, and rich visuals to all menu items in Shopify's Horizon theme and similar OS 2.0 themes. It also gives precise submenu alignment controls so dropdowns can open directly beneath the parent item instead of being pinned left.

"The merchant can add images to category links, but normal menu links look inconsistent without visuals, and the submenu positioning in the Horizon theme is awkward and hard to customize."

Implementation Notes
