Dawn Theme: Footer font color change to white

Technical Q&A
,

Topic summary

A user is attempting to change footer font colors to white on their Dawn-themed Shopify site but encountering issues with incomplete styling—specifically the email subscribe box and mission text remain unchanged.

Problem Details:

  • Initial CSS code provided by the user appears malformed (reversed/garbled text)
  • Target elements include newsletter subscription field, placeholder text, and footer headings

Proposed Solutions:
Three community members offered CSS fixes with similar approaches:

  1. KetanKumar’s solution: Targets footer block content, newsletter labels, field inputs, and removes box-shadow/display properties on newsletter elements

  2. Artzen_tech’s approach: Applies white color to entire footer class, adds white border to fields, and styles field labels

  3. PageFly-Victor’s method: Uses wildcard selector for all footer elements and adds white border-color to newsletter field wrapper

Implementation: All solutions require editing base.css file via Online Store → Theme → Edit code, pasting CSS at the bottom.

The discussion remains open with no confirmation of which solution resolved the issue.
