Any help with changing the cart pop up window background color in the dawn theme to something like dark grey? The double gradient looks off. From what I understand it has to be edited in the theme code? Thanks

Thanks for the info, try this one.

  1. From your Shopify admin dashboard, click on “Online Store” and then “Themes”.
  2. Find the theme that you want to edit and click on “Actions” and then “Edit code”.
  3. In the “Assets” folder, click on “base.css, style.css or theme.css” file, depending on which file your theme uses to store its CSS styles. At the bottom of the file, add the following CSS code:
div#cart-notification {
    background: darkgrey !important;
}
