Swiper

Question

How can I customize the arrow buttons below from swipers?

<div class="swiper-button-next"></div>
<div class="swiper-button-prev"></div>

I did it crudely but it does not seem to be the right way because I get some margin on the right of the button.

<div class="swiper-button-next hide-for-small-only hide-for-medium-only" style="border: 1px solid red; background-color: yellow; padding: 30px; ></div>

The entire code:

.swiper-container {
  width: 100%;
  height: 450px;
}

.swiper-slide {
  /* Center slide text vertically */
  display: -webkit-box;
  display: -ms-flexbox;
  display: -webkit-flex;
  display: flex;
  -webkit-box-pack: center;
  -ms-flex-pack: center;
  -webkit-justify-content: center;
  justify-content: center;
  -webkit-box-align: center;
  -ms-flex-align: center;
  -webkit-align-items: center;
  align-items: center;
}

.swiper-slide {
  font-size: 18px;
  -webkit-box-sizing: border-box;
  box-sizing: border-box;
}

.swiper-banner-slide {
  -webkit-background-size: cover;
  background-size: cover;
  background-position: center;
}

.swiper-slide .title {
  font-family: 'Bellefair', serif;
  font-size: 41px;
  line-height: 40px;
  font-weight: 300;
}

.swiper-slide .subtitle {
  font-size: 21px;
}

.swiper-slide .text {
  font-size: 21px;
  letter-spacing: 1px;
}

.slide-info-container {
  color: #000;
}

.swiper-block {
  padding: 40px 0 40px;
  background: #eee;
  font-family: Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
  font-size: 14px;
  color: #000;
  margin: 0;
  /*padding: 0;*/
}

.swiper-block .swiper-container {
  width: 100%;
  height: 300px;
  margin: 20px auto;
}

.swiper-block .swiper-slide {
  text-align: center;
  font-size: 18px;
  background: #fff;
  /* Center slide text vertically */
  display: -webkit-box;
  display: -ms-flexbox;
  display: -webkit-flex;
  display: flex;
  -webkit-box-pack: center;
  -ms-flex-pack: center;
  -webkit-justify-content: center;
  justify-content: center;
  -webkit-box-align: center;

    var swiper = new Swiper('#banner .swiper-container', {
        pagination: '#banner .swiper-pagination',
        slidesPerView: 1,
        paginationClickable: true,
        centeredSlides: true,
        spaceBetween: 30,
        loop: true,
        keyboardControl: true,
        nextButton: '#banner .swiper-button-next',
        prevButton: '#banner .swiper-button-prev',
    });


    var swiper2 = new Swiper('.swiper-block .swiper-container', {
        pagination: '.swiper-block .swiper-pagination',
        slidesPerView: 5,
        paginationClickable: true,
        spaceBetween: 30,
        freeMode: true,
        keyboardControl: false,
    });
  });
</script>

I don't want the margin.

Any ideas?

EDIT:

How do I change the colour blue on the arrow to black?

.swiper-button-next,
.swiper-button-prev {
    background-color: white;
    background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.5);
    right:10px;
    padding: 30px;
    color: #000 !important;
    fill: black !important;
    stroke: black !important;
}

Does not work of course!

Add this to style the prev / next arrows:

.swiper-button-prev {
  background-image: url("data:image/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D'http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg'%20viewBox%3D'0%200%2027%2044'%3E%3Cpath%20d%3D'M0%2C22L22%2C0l2.1%2C2.1L4.2%2C22l19.9%2C19.9L22%2C44L0%2C22L0%2C22L0%2C22z'%20fill%3D'%234c71ae'%2F%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E") !important;
}

.swiper-button-next {
  background-image: url("data:image/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D'http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg'%20viewBox%3D'0%200%2027%2044'%3E%3Cpath%20d%3D'M27%2C22L27%2C22L5%2C44l-2.1-2.1L22.8%2C22L2.9%2C2.1L5%2C0L27%2C22L27%2C22z'%20fill%3D'%234c71ae'%2F%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E") !important;
}

Where "4c71ae" is the color you want to use in HEX.

:root {
    --swiper-theme-color: #000;
}

Try this instead of !important to change color.

David.G · Answer

With the current version of SwiperJS (v.5.3.8) you can change the color of the arrows in css without any issues. Just define color.

.swiper-button-prev {
    color: red; 
}

.swiper-button-next {
    color: #000; 
}

Those who want to change the default arrows just set you custom SVG etc in the elements the HTML; mine is next & prev

<div class="swiper-button-next">Next</div>
<div class="swiper-button-prev">Prev</div>

And remove the default icons in CSS

.swiper-button-next::after, .swiper-button-prev::after {
    content: "";
}

"I don't want the margin. Any ideas?"

If the margin is really the margin, not the result of right property, try to overwrite default "swipers" styles using !important, like this:

.class {
  margin: 0 !important;
}

Otherwise set right property to 0:

.class {
  right: 0;
}

Or

.class {
  right: 0 !important;
}

If it doesn't work without !important.

"How do I change the colour blue on the arrow to black?"

If you just want to make them black, you can simply use one of the built-in classes (swiper-button-black in your case) - thanks to this comment.
