Change the shape and colour of arrows on featured collection

Topic summary

Change arrow shape and color in the Shopify Dawn theme’s featured collection slider.

  • Goal: Replace square slider arrows with circular ones and change their color.

  • Context: Dawn theme; arrows in the featured collection slider (desktop). Images were shared to illustrate the desired look, and a site preview link was provided.

  • Action: Add custom CSS in Edit code > base.css.

  • Solution details: Targeted .collection .slider-component-desktop .slider-button (including disabled state). Set background to black (#000), icon/text color to white (#fff), full opacity, 1px black border, and made arrows circular using border-radius: 50%. A hover rule ensured the color remains white.

  • Outcome: The CSS change worked as intended (circular arrows with updated colors). The helper offered further assistance if needed.

  • Status: Resolved; no disagreements or open questions.

  • Notes on terms: “Dawn” is Shopify’s default theme; “base.css” is the theme’s main stylesheet; “slider-button” is the CSS class controlling the slider arrows.
