  • Tried a header.liquid fix found for an older Dawn version, which didn’t work on 10.0.

Hi! I’d like to change the shopping cart and search icons using the Dawn 10.0 theme. I did follow a video that directed me to the icon-cart.liquid, icon-cart-empty.liquid, which had me replace the existing code with the line of svg code for the new icon. As well as trying an already posted fix for header.liquid(that didn’t work for me because it was a solution for an older version of Dawn). None of that worked. I’m not sure if it’s because I need to code in an entirely different location? Thanks so much in advance : )
