How to remove arrows/chevrons on Dawn theme drop down menu?

Topic summary

Main issue: Remove arrow/chevron (caret) icons from the header drop-down in Shopify’s Dawn 2.0 theme.

Solution shared: A CSS snippet added to the bottom of bases.css hides the caret icon in the inline menu. The original poster confirmed this fully removed the icons.

Context: “Caret/chevron” refers to the small arrow indicating a drop-down; bases.css is the theme’s stylesheet.

Follow-up concern: Others reported leftover horizontal spacing where the icon used to be, creating a gap between adjacent menu items.

Requested update: A code change to remove the icon’s container space (not just hide the icon) was asked for by multiple users.

Status: Initial removal of the icons is resolved; the spacing issue remains open with no provided fix or further code shared.
