Hi there, I am wanting to change the colour of the arrows to highlight them a little more. the current feedback is that they didn’t know it was a carousel because you cant see the arrows properly.

Cheers

Hi @DumbleCo ,

You can try this code by following these steps:

Step 1: Go to Online Store->Theme->Edit code.

Step 2: Search file theme.css

Step 3: Paste the below code at the bottom of the file → Save

.flickity-button flickity svg{
fill:red !important
}
//if you want change the back ground you can try add
.flickity-button{
background: color 
}

Hope my solution works perfectly for you!

Hello @DumbleCo

You can try this code: it will be helpful to you

Go to the Online Store->Theme->Edit code->Assets->theme.css>Add this code at the bottom.

button.flickity-button.flickity-prev-next-button.next {
    background: #000 !important;
    color: #fff !important;
}

That worked a treat, thank you. I was able to change the colouring by adding the HEX colour code. The only thing that didnt happen is the left hand arrow did not change, only the right! Its not really a big deal but if it is an easy code I would change it.
