How to change color of search box text on portal.

[Marty Bright]

I would like to change the color of the text in the portal search widget. In our case, we are using the typeahead search widget.  The text I want to change is the text that appears in the box before you start typing. We would like to make the color of the text a light gray.  I am able to edit the widget and widget instance and change the color of the button and the text after you start typing but I cannot change the text before you start typing.

Does anyone knowhow to change the text color before you start typing?

Thanks - Marty

Hi Marty,

If you are referring to the text highlighted in the below image, then you can follow the steps as mentioned below:

1) From the navigation menu, go to Service Portal > Service Portal Configuration

2) Click on Branding Editor

3) Click on Quick Set Up > Tag Line color and select any required color

Let me know if this works for you.

Swapnil, the text color I want to change is the text inside the search box. The text that appears before you start typing.

Looks like tag line color only changes the color of the title above the search box.
