How Do I Change the Star Rating Color on My Carousel Widget in Feedspace?

Last updated on September 16, 2026

Overview

The Carousel widget displays your reviews as a horizontally sliding sequence of cards, looping continuously so visitors always see fresh testimonials. Each card prominently features a star rating, which is one of the first visual elements a visitor notices as the carousel cycles through. The Widget Color Customization section on the Design tab holds two star pickers, in the Custom Colors group: Star Rating, which controls the fill color of the star icons, and Star Rating Border, which controls the outline or border color around each star. Adjusting these two settings lets you align the star icons with your brand palette, ensure strong contrast against your card background, and give the carousel a polished, cohesive look as it scrolls.

How to change the star rating colour on your Carousel widget

Step 1: Open the Widgets section

Log in to your Feedspace account. In the left sidebar, click Widgets to open your list of saved widgets.

Step 2: Open your Carousel widget

Locate the Carousel widget you want to update. Click the Edit (pencil) icon on the widget card to open the widget editor.

Step 3: Go to the Design tab

Inside the widget editor, click the Design tab at the top of the panel. This tab contains all visual customization options for your Carousel widget.

Step 4: Find Widget Color Customization

Scroll down within the Design tab until you see the Widget Color Customization section. The star pickers sit in the Custom Colors group near the bottom of it.

Step 5: Set Star Rating and Star Rating Border

You will see two color pickers relevant to star ratings:

  • Star Rating: click this picker and choose the fill color for the star icons. This is the main color that fills the inside of each star displayed on the carousel cards.
  • Star Rating Border: click this picker and choose the outline or border color that appears around each star icon. This helps define the star shape clearly, especially when the fill color is light or when it needs to stand out against your card background.

Select your desired colors using the color picker or by entering a hex code directly. The carousel preview will update in real time so you can see exactly how the stars will appear as the cards slide.
