Notes

Aligned with Guppy

DmfDropdownNavigation integrates seamlessly with DmfGuppyTheme, the default colors match Guppy brand tokens. For your own themes, set the colors explicitly.

Theme-agnostic

The plugin works with any Shopware theme since it overrides Twig templates and storefront JS. When pairing with custom themes, run theme:compile after each configuration change.
