I had this custom code made for my site that inverts the site(dark mode) when you click it. I’m trying to improve my User Experience and want to make the candle smaller. I no longer communicate with the coder that created the code, so I’m lost how to find the size and change it on code. Please let me know
Topic summary
Goal: Reduce the size of a custom “dark mode” (candle) toggle button created via custom code.
What changed: Two approaches were provided to resize the button by editing theme CSS in Shopify.
How to implement:
- Go to Online Store → Themes → Actions → Edit code → Assets.
- Open base.css (or style.css/theme.css).
- Add a rule targeting the image inside the dark mode button:
- Option A: .darkmode-button img { height: 70px; width: 40px !important; }
- Option B: .darkmode-button img { width: 25px !important; } (adjust value as needed)
- Save. “!important” ensures the new size overrides existing styles.
Outcome: The original poster confirmed the first CSS solution worked, indicating the issue is resolved. Screenshots were shared to show the visual result but are not required to apply the fix.
Notes:
- You can tweak width/height values to reach the desired size.
- The selector .darkmode-button img specifically targets the image within the dark mode toggle.

Hi @cureblame
Check this one.
From your Shopify admin dashboard, click on “Online Store” and then “Themes”.
Find the theme that you want to edit and click on “Actions” and then “Edit code”.
In the “Assets” folder, click on “base.css, style.css or theme.css” file, depending on which file your theme uses to store its CSS styles. At the bottom of the file, add the following CSS code:
.darkmode-button img {
height: 70px;
width: 40px !important;
}
And Save.
Result:
