how to reset styles in vue carousel? - vue.js

Question

I am using vue carousel and I want to change tge color of the pagination dots' borders. I don't know how and if it's even possible. I looked up the style of this buttons in dev tools and tried to rewrite the style. But nothing works

Answer 1

vue-carousel has two properties that control the color of the dots:
paginationColor - (default: #000000) The fill color of the active pagination dot. Any valid CSS color is accepted.
paginationActiveColor - (default: #efefef) The fill color of pagination dots. Any valid CSS color is accepted.
For example:
<carousel paginationColor="gray" paginationActiveColor="red">

Answer 2

Try this in your global CSS
.v-carousel__controls__item{
color: #FFC400 !important;
}

Answer 3

There is a work-around that can give you full control over the dots and their appearance with pure CSS, using pseudo-elements. Make the existing dots transparent, and use ::after to create new dots that you can style as you like.
.VueCarousel-dot {
position: relative;
background-color: transparent !important;
&::after {
content: '';
width: 10px;
height: 10px;
border-radius: 100%;
border: 2px solid black;
background-color: gray;
position: absolute;
top: 10px;
left: 10px;
}
&--active::after {
background-color: red;
}
}
This is not an ideal solution, however the provided options for styling dots in Vue Carousel are quite limited, and if you have a strict style guide to follow, this solution can give you the control you need.
