How can I add a white box to slideshow link text in the Emerge theme?

Topic summary

Goal: Improve visibility of slideshow link text on the homepage (Emerge theme) by adding a background box behind the text.

Clarification: Since the link text is white, a white box would reduce visibility. A black box behind the white text was suggested as the clearer option, implemented via CSS (Cascading Style Sheets).

Process: A brief off‑topic suggestion was dismissed. The helper requested and received access to the theme code to make changes directly. Screenshots were shared to illustrate design options and the final result.

Decision: Use a black background with white text, with equal padding on all sides. The helper applied 10px padding uniformly.

Outcome: The change was implemented and confirmed acceptable by the requester. Status: Resolved; no open questions.

I would like to make the link text have a white box behind it for visibility on the slideshow of my home page. My website uses the EMERGE theme.

@veiiapparel - would this be ok?

I think you mean a black box since the text is white. Adding a white box behind it would make the text invisible. You can add a black box with a bit of CSS code, check out the screenshot :backhand_index_pointing_down:

Definitely not helpful and completely irrelevant. Did you even read what @veiiapparel wrote? He’s not asking about the add to cart button, and there is no “add to cart button” option in the header…

Can you help me implement this

Yes, I’ve sent a request to access your theme code :white_check_mark:

Accepted

Do you want a black background with white text or a white background with black text?

Black box white text all the same padding length please

Is this good? I’ve assigned 10px padding to all sides

Yes thank you so much!

Great, happy to help!
