Icon Bars (Icon Bar 1 & Icon Bar 2)
Momentum ships two icon bar sections for USPs, certifications, shipping promises and other trust signals:
- Icon Bar 1 — compact grid of icons/badges with a short title under each item. Ideal for trust/logo strips (e.g. shipping carrier, certifications, "printed locally" badges) directly below the hero.
- Icon Bar 2 — larger tiles with icon, title and description text. Ideal for "what you get" overviews or fact strips (e.g. delivery time / shipping cost / return window).
Adding The Section To Your Store
- Open your theme editor.
- Click on "Add Section".
- Find and add "Icon Bar 1" or "Icon Bar 2" from the section library.
- Add one USP item block per icon; each block takes an icon image (recommended 60 × 60 px for Icon Bar 1) and a title.
Layout Settings (Icon Bar 1)
Grid layout preset Choose a fixed preset (1×4, 2×2, …), "Custom columns" (set desktop columns 1–6 yourself), or "Auto-fit" which reflows items responsively based on a minimum item width.
Columns (desktop / mobile) With the "Custom columns" preset you control desktop columns directly. Mobile columns (1–4) apply when the mobile layout is set to Grid.
Column/row gap (desktop & mobile) Spacing between items in px.
Grid alignment Center, left, right or stretch/justified.
Mobile Layout: Grid vs. Slider
Added in Momentum 1.0.0 (August 2026).
Under Mobile layout you can choose how the items behave on screens up to 768 px:
- Grid (default) — items wrap into the configured number of mobile columns. Best for even item counts (4 or 6 items in 2 columns).
- Slider (swipe) — all items sit in one horizontally swipeable row with scroll-snap. No arrows, no dots — the partially visible next item signals that more content can be swiped in. On touch devices customers swipe natively; for mouse users (including the theme editor's mobile preview) a lightweight script enables drag-to-scroll with a grab cursor.
Visible items (mobile slider) — choose 1.5, 2.5 or 3.5. The half item is intentional: a fully aligned grid would look complete and hide the fact that more items follow.
When to use the slider:
- You have an odd number of items (e.g. 5 trust badges) — a 2-column grid would leave the last item dangling alone.
- The section sits high on the page (e.g. directly below the hero) and a multi-row grid would push your products too far down. The slider keeps the bar to a single compact row regardless of item count.
The desktop layout is unaffected — the slider applies to mobile only.
Item Title Weight (Icon Bar 2)
Added in Momentum 1.0.0 (August 2026).
Icon Bar 2 tiles show a title and a description. With single-weight fonts (e.g. Questrial) the two could look identical, since the title's default weight (500) renders like regular text there. The Item title weight setting fixes this with relative values:
- Theme default — the original look (weight 500).
- Bolder (relative) — one step heavier than the surrounding text. Because it is relative, it works with any font and any base weight — even shops whose base weight is already bold get a visible difference.
- Lighter (relative) — one step lighter, for the opposite effect.
Prefer the relative options over picking absolute weights: they adapt to whatever typography the shop uses.
Rich Text Descriptions (Icon Bar 2)
Added in Momentum 1.1.0 (October 2026).
The Description text of each USP item in Icon Bar 2 is now a rich text field. You can format the text directly in the editor:
- Bold and italic words, e.g. to highlight "free" or a number
- Links, e.g. to your shipping or returns page
- Bulleted or numbered lists
Existing descriptions keep their text and are shown as a normal paragraph. Keep the formatting light: one bold word or one link per item is usually enough, so the tiles stay calm and easy to scan.
Icon Bar 2 also has a new Button type setting for its button: Custom link or Add to cart (see Section Buttons: Add to Cart & Go to Checkout).
General Settings
Both icon bars support the standard Momentum section settings: color scheme or custom colors, section width (theme default / page width / edge to edge), custom anchor ID, section padding (theme default or custom, per device), display on (all / mobile only / desktop only), and typography overrides including a custom font.
Tips
- Keep titles short — one line reads best under a badge ("Free shipping", "Oeko-Tex Standard 100").
- Use consistently sized, transparent PNG icons so the row looks calm; mixed aspect ratios make the bar look uneven.
- For certification logos, always use the official artwork unmodified and follow the certifier's usage rules.
