Input Fields and Tab area

[manutd69]

Hi there Sayontan,
I have a couple of minor things I need to clean up to complete my website, using the suffusion theme.

I'm using the dark theme with light blue. On the input fields, such as the search box, or on the contact forms, the type is very dark against a dark background, I would like it lighter. I can't find any way to change the colour.

Secondly, When the website is viewed in certain browsers, IE6 I think, the tabs become a uniform size, and one drops down to the next line. I tried removing the search box, and replacing it with a sidebar widget, to allow more room for the tabs, but they still drop down at the same place. Is there a way to specify a wider area for the tabs, if the search box is removed?

Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Hi,
Though there are no options that will directly help you set these, you can use the "Custom Styles" option in "Custom CSS, JavaScript and RSS" to set this. Set these styles there:

Code: Select all

#commentform textarea,
#commentform input[type="text"],
.searchform .searchfield {
        color: #fff;
}


Add other elements as required.

You can control the widths of the navigation bar using the same Custom Styles option. Set the following:

Code: Select all

#nav ul {
        width: 100%;
}
#right-header-widgets {
        width: 0;
}

They both work great, thanks.

Unfortunately there is one more problem.
I am using contact form 7 and sidebar login. I was assuming that the same colour was being applied to all input fields on the site.

However,after adding your custom styles, The search box text is now appearing lighter, but the text in my form boxes and the login panels is still dark.

I understand that these plug-ins are not written by you, but they must be getting their colours from the suffusion theme somehow. Can you help? Please.
