# Customize dropdown chevron

Change, hide, or replace the dropdown chevron with Custom CSS.

The Geolocation Popup chevron is not a separate HTML element. It is an SVG used as the dropdown button's CSS `background-image`.

This is generic Orbe CSS, not theme-specific. Paste it in Orbe Geolocation under [Custom code](/settings/custom-code.md)

Override both the closed and open states, and keep `!important`.

```css
#md-app-embed__modal .md-form__select {
    background-image: url("YOUR_CSS_SVG_HERE") !important;
}

#md-app-embed__modal .md-form__select[aria-expanded="true"] {
    background-image: url("YOUR_CSS_SVG_HERE") !important;
}
```

**Do not paste a raw SVG into CSS.** Edit the SVG, convert it with the free [SVG to CSS tool](https://www.svgbackgrounds.com/tools/svg-to-css/), then paste the resulting value into `background-image`.

You can use this override to:

* Change the chevron color, thickness, or shape with a converted SVG.
* Hide it with `background-image: none !important;`.
* Use an icon file with `background-image: url("https://example.com/icon.svg") !important;`.

The default position is `background-position: right 6px center;`.

For the Country Selector app block or the Market Selector app embed using the dropdown type, keep the same `background-image` override, open state, `!important`, and SVG conversion. Only change the parent wrapper to `.md-orbe-selector__content` for the Country Selector or `.md-footer-selector__content` for the Market Selector.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://help.orbe.app/developer-reference/snippets/customize-dropdown-chevron.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
