Title: Colour scheme Last modified: July 8, 2017 --- # Colour scheme * Resolved [takinginthesights](https://wordpress.org/support/users/takinginthesights/) * (@takinginthesights) * [8 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/colour-scheme-5/) * Hi, * I’ve recently moved from Pinnacle to Ascend. I have a dard coloured footer and notice that subscribe widgets dont have a white are to type the email address in. The colour is pretty much the same as the footer. As a result you cant see the black text you are typing when completing the subscription form. Is there a way of altering the colour schem to make the box white? Hope this makes sense.

This changes the text to white which will help. I had wondered if the text box could be changed to white instead of changing the text colour? Either that or is there a way of changing the search box to match the subscribe box. * Thanks in anticipation * David * [hannah](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hannahritner/) * (@hannahritner) * [8 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/colour-scheme-5/#post-9306840) * Are you able to post a link so I can provide more accurate css?

Feel free to change any of the colors to whatever you’ll need. * ``` .footerclass div#ajaxsearchlite1 { box-shadow: none; } .footerclass #ajaxsearchlite1 .probox, div[id*="ajaxsearchlite"] .probox { background: red; } .footerclass div[id*='ajaxsearchlite'] .probox .promagnifier .innericon { background: red; } #ajaxsearchlite1 .probox .proinput input, div[id*="ajaxsearchlite"] .probox .proinput input { color: blue !important; } ``` * I’m having a difficult time with the placeholder text, but I’ll let you know if I find how to do it. * -Kevin * Thread Starter [takinginthesights](https://wordpress.org/support/users/takinginthesights/) * (@takinginthesights) * [8 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/colour-scheme-5/#post-9311314) * Kevin, * Thanks. It is geting there. I am now able to chnge the colours of both boxes, but the subscribe box seems to have a shading over about 90% of it that stops it matching the search box. Is there a way the shading can be removed or added to the search box to get them to match? * From what I can see the subscibe box seems to inherit the footer colour by default and add some shading to it. I’ve left both boxes white at the moment to let you see what I mean * [http://www.takinginthesights.com](http://www.takinginthesights.com) * David * [hannah](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hannahritner/) * (@hannahritner) * [8 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/colour-scheme-5/#post-9312760) * Hey David, Try adding this css: * ``` #subscribe-email input { width: 100%; background: white; } ``` * Does that fix? * Hannah * Thread Starter [takinginthesights](https://wordpress.org/support/users/takinginthesights/) * (@takinginthesights) * [8 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/colour-scheme-5/#post-9313778) * Hannah, * That worked.
