How can I customize slideshow controls on Crave theme?

Topic summary

Request to modify slideshow navigation in Shopify’s Crave theme: replace the default controls beneath the slideshow banner with left/right arrows positioned on each side of the banner, enabling users to click (and ideally swipe) to navigate between slides. An image mockup was attached to illustrate the desired layout.

Latest response: This customization is feasible but is not available as a built‑in setting; it requires a developer to add the arrow controls via theme code changes.

Key points:

  • No code snippets, step-by-step instructions, or app recommendations were provided.
  • No confirmation of a native option in Crave to switch control styles.
  • The attached image is central to understanding the intended UI.

Status: Unresolved/ongoing. Action item is to engage a developer for custom implementation if this navigation style is required.

Hi, I would like to change the slideshow controls on my Slideshow banner on Crave theme, instead of the controls below the banner, is it possible to customize it into arrows that are on each side of the Banner? So that users can just click or swipe to go left or right. Image attached as an example

Hi @RyanCbj1995

This is doable but you need a developer to add the arrow.
