Trash can button is green (white can) need it red, leave checkout green how to do that please?

Topic summary

A user is attempting to customize their Shopify cart’s trash can button styling. They want:

Goal:

  • Trash can icon: white with red background
  • Checkout button: remain green (unchanged)

Issue:
Multiple CSS solutions were provided by community members targeting .cart-item-remove-button with background-color: red. However, the implementations only partially worked—creating a red outline while leaving an unwanted green circle around the trash icon.

Current Status:
The problem remains unresolved. The user successfully applied the CSS code but cannot remove the persistent green circle overlay. Screenshots were shared showing the partial success, but image files appear corrupted or improperly formatted in the thread. The user is seeking additional help to eliminate the remaining green styling while preserving the checkout button’s appearance.

@ivanka2 Please try adding this CSS. If still does not work, kindly share the preview URL so that I can have a look at your store. Thanks.

#cart .cart-item cart-remove-button {
    background: red;
}

Hello @ivanka2 ,

You can change the color & background of the button with the theme customizer.

Please add the below mentioned CSS code in Custom CSS section in theme customizer https://prnt.sc/WvpxltD6RVjB

cart-remove-button {
background-color: red;
}

I hope the code helps you.

Please let me know if you have any query.

Thank you.

Thank you for the instructions - unfortunately, it did this, how can I remove the green?.. it won’t let me add the png file here, but the code only gives me a red outline, the green is still there :disappointed_face:

Please see my other response, it changed partially to red but the green circle remained around the trash can, I am trying to remove that green circle now :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes: Thank you
