Hi,

I’m building my first website with Shopify and have a problem. when an item is added to the cart, an Item added to cart box drops down from the header and it seems the go to checkout button and it’s text are the same colour.

is there a way to customise this box please? as clicking on it just brings up the header customisation tools.

I’ve added a pdf image so you can see what I mean.

Am using Dawn theme.

thanks so much

Hi @Nomad09 :waving_hand: READ: https://community.shopify.com/c/blog/how-to-get-support-from-the-community/ba-p/2254458

Self awareness and upfront communication is a key to success other’s aren’t mind readers or magically have access to your setup.

Provide inspectable urls that are publicly accessible for other people to even have a chance of helping you.

The colors for UI like that is generally in the theme settings not section settings.

Or just search the forums for the theme name and name of what you think the UI element is called to see if there are existing discussions.

Otherwise this needs to be moved to the design forum.
