Template or Module Issue?

Post by Fendermate » Sat Jan 03, 2015 10:06 pm

I'm on J2.5.19. and using the Shape 5 Vertex template.
My issue is with the Smart Search module where it is nearly invisible because it picks up the background of the template header. I've searched and the only clue is that Search shares css with Finder??
Here's the website so you can see what I mean http//:www.asbn.ca
Is there a simple fix?

The background of the template header is different from the background of the search box.

You can modify the background and other CSS elements of the search box from line 481 of templates/shape5_vertex/css/template.css

Code: Select all

#s5_search input {
color:#FFFFFF;
background: #151515;
If you want for example an olive background, change #151515 to #808000

You can use Firebug or Web Developer extensions in Firefox and Chrome to inspect all parts of the web page to see which CSS elements contribute to the rendered style:
