I am using Toolset Layouts with the Toolset Starter Theme

I am using the standard search widget but cannot find a list of the CSS classes which are used. I want to be able to style background and text colors, position of text box etc. Can you help?

Regards

Robert

Hi Minesh

Have a look to hidden link

You can see the search widget placed in a Layout Cell to the right of the menu. I want to:-

1. Ensure that the search box stays within the cell width.
2. Change the foreground and background colors of the text box, text and the cell.
3. Change the vertical alignment of the search box so that it aligns with the menu wording.
4. Change the prompt text in the search box.
5. Remove the 'search' button and replace with a a search icon within the search box.
6. When the screen width is very small (e.g. mobile phone) I need to display only the search icon with a pop up search box.

Although Layouts is really good for the main content of a site, it doesn't help so much these issues (e.g. menu and search box formatting).

Hence my request for assistance.

Regards

Robert

Well - all those points you mentioned is required custom CSS or needs custom programming that is eventually beyond the scope of our support policy.

However, here I share few links that will help you to understand how you can style the search widget:

If you need custom programming for your project, please feel free to contact our certified partners.
