Changing the color of the Global Search background

mitzaka · ‎08-05-2014

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?

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;"

cool, the only thing I would say is to beware if a future upgrade enhances this ui macro anyway, you would have to update it manually as you now 'own' it

We have a Search that is at the Service Catalog level, and would like to do this same background.

How would I do that?

looks like in recent versions it may have moved to a content block, look under CMS-Dynamin Content name contains search and I can see some catalog search blocks.

The ID of the search box is 'sc_search_field_container'

I will give that a try, thanks for your help.
