Setting Up Your Slider: Make sure to configure your Shopify theme editor to use the "thumbnail carousel" layout for desktop displays and to have "hide thumbnails" on mobile layout. This settings are crucial for the proper functioning of our enhanced slider.
We had a major code change to make this work with the latest version. We have removed the section settings as shown on the video. Please check the image below to see how it looks like.

3. We have to add a css file for our slider. Open the Assets folder, and "Add a new asset", name it "main-product-vertical" and place the code below.
4. Next, we have to add our own Javascript code. Open the global.js under the Assets folder and paste the code at the very bottom of the file.
5. Open the main-product.liquid under the Section folder. At the very buttom, look for the last square bracket. Above it, place the code below. See image for placement

6. Still at the main-product.liquid, scroll all the way up and find the code {% style %}. Under it, place the code below. Make sure to save.

@Max Be aware that with the new version of Dawn, a thumbnail slider is already available, that is the reason I only created a vertical slider
Hi there!
Is it possible to also have a horizontal slider unter the picture?
Because vertical doesn’t look well for my page.
Kind regards
Max
Hi, why vertical-media-gallery.js is not included/referenced in main-product.liquid? also on iOS devices, after implementing the code, I was not able to swipe up and down on product pages. Dawn version 4.0.0
Can you tell me how can we make them Fade effect on slides?
Please make sure you are copying the code. The javascript is responsible for buttons to work. If this doesn’t work then you are missing that code or might have an error.
