Store Design
, , , , ,

Topic summary

A user reports that button colors in the Dawn theme appear significantly lighter than intended—black displays as grey, dark blue as light blue.

Proposed Solution:
Another user suggests adding CSS code to fix the opacity issue:

  1. Navigate to Online Store → Themes → Actions → Edit code
  2. Open the CSS file (base.css, style.css, or theme.css) in the Assets folder
  3. Add the following code at the bottom:
a.button.button--primary {
  cursor: allowed !important;
  opacity: 1 !important;
}

The solution targets the button opacity property, forcing it to full opacity (1) to restore the intended color intensity. A screenshot example of the faded buttons was provided to illustrate the issue.

Hi @norduxe

TRy this one.

  1. From your Shopify admin dashboard, click on “Online Store” and then “Themes”.
  2. Find the theme that you want to edit and click on “Actions” and then “Edit code”.
  3. In the “Assets” folder, click on “base.css, style.css or theme.css” file, depending on which file your theme uses to store its CSS styles. At the bottom of the file, add the following CSS code:
a.button.button--primary {
   cursor: allowed !important;
    opacity: 1 !important;
 
}
