A user encountered an issue with the Dawn theme’s cart pop-up displaying an unwanted shadow effect instead of a clean white background. They shared a screenshot showing the problematic appearance.
Solutions Provided:
Multiple developers offered CSS-based fixes:
Method 1 (base.css): Add #cart-notification{background:white !important;} to the bottom of the base.css file in the theme’s Assets folder
Method 2 (theme.liquid): Insert custom CSS styling in the theme.liquid file above the </head> tag, targeting the cart notification background color
Both approaches use CSS to override the default background styling causing the shadow effect.
Outcome:
The original poster confirmed one solution worked successfully. A follow-up question emerged about customizing the colors of the “View Cart” and “Checkout” buttons, indicating the discussion may continue with additional styling requests.

I hope someone here can help me. I’m really struggling to edit the background color of the cart pop-up. I’m not sure why it’s displaying like this (please see the attached screenshot). I would like to have a white background without that weird shadow.
I would be really grateful if someone could help me with my issue.
