Styling the upload button

Hi

I am working on a flat website design that uses a couple of CF7 forms with file upload.

I need to style the upload button.

I know this is not a straight forward task.

I found this article:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/572768/styling-an-input-type-file-button

The solution works to hide the file input element (as long as prefixed for cf7)

and the button created via a label activates the browse window, so that you can select a file.

But the name of the selected file is not displayed.

Also I don’t know how you can integrate the html label with the CF7 shortcode that includes mb upload limit and file types and the individual file class that enables CF7 to send you an email with the uploaded file attached.

Any assistance you can offer is greatly appreciated

Kind Regards

Max
