 * Hi,
    how can I change Caldera’s form error message (This value is required) and
   how can I design it? I want to design it with a blue background, but I want the
   background to be at the length of the text (meaning I might have to work with
   span).
 * I found the class:
 * .caldera-grid .has-error .checkbox, .caldera-grid .has-error .checkbox-inline,.
   caldera-grid .has-error .control-label, .caldera-grid .has-error .form-control-
   feedback, .caldera-grid .has-error .help-block, .caldera-grid .has-error .radio,.
   caldera-grid .has-error .radio-inline, .caldera-grid .has-error.checkbox label,.
   caldera-grid .has-error.checkbox-inline label, .caldera-grid .has-error.radio
   label, .caldera-grid .has-error.radio-inline label {
 * and I was able to change the text color and the background color but I wasn’t
   able to control the background’s with and I can’t replace the text.
 * Thanks
