Changing the color of the Global Search background

[mitzaka]

Hi SNC,

Is there a way to change the color of the Global Search? It's by default very un-noticable, unless you know it's there, and I think it would be wise to make it more visible as searching is one of the first things which people do in SNow. Do you know a way to change the colour, or put some coloured label or something in that direction?

check out the ui macro called ui_global_text_search

mguy, thanks for that - I guess this is the UI macro I need to look at.

One more question - I saw where to modify the text color and the border color, but do you know way I could   set the background color to some other?

actually just realised it's the text_search_widget UI Macro that's being called, yes looks like you can define the style in there, i just added a border round it via:

            function="$('textsearch').submit()"

              style="color:#999; border:solid 5px;"

Nice, that was helpful. All I had to do is add the background setting to the line below and refresh.

style="color:#999; border:solid 0px; background: rgb(194, 205, 35);"

And now I have the result I wanted My whole point is to make this somehow more visible, to draw attention.

Thanks!
