I am working on a Carousel for my website Peruvian Connection. I needed to style the arrows. So I looked on the stackoverflow forums and found out that I can use Font-Awesome and its Unicode to change the shape and taste of the arrows(Thread here: How to style prev/next arrows button?). When changing the icons, they work perfectly in chrome. Although, they are cut off in IE and a bit buggy in other browsers.I researched this problem and found out it is due to the font-size of the arrows.
You can find a demo here: http://www.peruvianconnection.com/category/ads/lookbook.do?test=test
Tested Browsers:
Chrome - Works Perfectly
Safari - Glitching a bit
Firefox - Only works on a certain area.
IE 9,10,11 - Arrows are cut off.
Here is the code or the Slick-Theme.css
@charset 'UTF-8';
/* Slider */
.slick-loading .slick-list
{
background: #fff url('./ajax-loader.gif') center center no-repeat;
}
/* Icons */

font-family: 'slick';
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal;

}

in you slick-theme.css remove line number 33 and 34. i.e.
width: 20px;
height: 20px;
Tested in IE.11 and I hope it should work for other browsers as well.
