Dawn- Make Transparent Floating Shopping Cart Background Black

Topic summary

A user seeks to change the transparent background of Dawn theme’s floating shopping cart popup to black.

Solutions Provided:

Multiple respondents offered similar CSS-based fixes:

  • Access Online Store > Themes > Edit Code
  • Open the theme.liquid file
  • Insert custom CSS code just before the </body> closing tag

Key Technical Details:

  • The solution involves adding CSS styling to override the default transparent cart drawer background
  • Code snippets were shared (though appear garbled in the conversation)
  • Changes require editing the theme’s liquid template file directly

Status:

The original poster confirmed the solution worked by thanking respondents. The issue appears resolved through the CSS customization approach. This is a common Dawn theme customization request addressed through straightforward code injection.

My theme: Dawn

See attached image. When items are added to shopping cart and it pops up floating on top, the background is transparent. I’d like to make it have a black background.

Thanks in advance for any help!
