# Customize dropdown chevron

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 dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

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

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

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.
