Change the Cart Bubble Text Color
If you also want to modify the text color inside the cart bubble, add this CSS:

color: #ffffff !important; /* Change text color to white or any other color */
}
Adjust the Cart Bubble Size
You can also change the size of the bubble for better visibility:
.cart-count-bubble {

}
Common Issues and Troubleshooting
1. Changes Not Reflecting?
- Ensure you added !important in the CSS code.
- Clear your browser cache.
