change colour of slideshow bottom section

Topic summary

A user wants to change the bottom section color of their slideshow from white to #164B3B on their Dawn theme store (antico-abito.com). The section doesn’t allow color scheme assignment through standard settings.

Two solutions were provided:

  1. Edit theme CSS file directly: Add custom CSS to component-slideshow.css targeting .slideshow__controls with the desired background color and !important flag.

  2. Use Custom CSS in Slideshow Section (recommended): Add CSS targeting .slideshow__controls with:

    • background: #164b3b for the section color
    • --color-foreground: 255, 255, 255 for dots/arrows (uses RGB format)
    • color: rgb(var(--color-foreground)) to ensure all control elements (including slide numbers) inherit the foreground color

The second solution was refined after another user reported that slide numbers weren’t changing color. Screenshots demonstrate the before/after results. Status: Resolved with working CSS code provided.

Go to online store ----> themes ----> actions ----> edit code ----> assets —> component-slideshow.css
add this code at the end of the file and save.

.slideshow__controls.slideshow__controls--top.slider-buttons {
background: #164B3B !important;
}

Add this CSS to the Custom CSS area in your Slideshow Section:

(Note: I also included --color-foreground so that the color of the dots and arrows can be adjusted as well. It looks a bit odd but --color-foreground is actually in RGB. Example: R, G, B => 255, 255, 255)

.slideshow__controls {
    background: #164b3b;
    --color-foreground: 255, 255, 255;
  }

I had the same problem but DrewOswald fixed it half for me… But I also need to change the colors of the blue numbers in the middle.

 

Sorry about that here’s the updated CSS so now --color-foreground will affect the rest of the slideshow controls elements.

.slideshow__controls {
  background: #164b3b;
  --color-foreground: 255, 255, 255;
  color: rgb(var(--color-foreground));
}
