Describe your issue

Since we can't customize the caret in the select input, how can i remove it?
Honestly, it would be great just to remove the caret from the select input in this plugin, cuz we can just add a custom caret.

thanks.

Hey! Two ways —

One option is to use the bg-none class to remove the background image on a per-element basis:

<select class="bg-none">
  <option>Option 1</option>
  <option>Option 2</option>
  <option>Option 3</option>
</select>

Another is to remove it for all select elements in your CSS:

@tailwind base;
@tailwind components;
@tailwind utilities;

@layer base {
  select {
    background-image: none;
  }
}

The second option is what I would do if you want to use a custom caret every single time 👍 Hope that helps!
