Hi,
a config switch to change the empty cart rendering ( http://imgur.com/G0Zf7Fr ) would be great.
Most shop these days don’t render 0 products for 0$ when having an empty cart. Some add a the product count next to the cart icon but there’s never a text rendering “0 products for 0” when having an empty cart.
Examples:
http://www.amazon.com/
http://www.aliexpress.com/

Best regards
