Please Add Quick Search Highlight CSS in Theme

Post by gmusgrave » 2015-02-10 17:11

The CSS for the highlight used for terms from the Quick Search does not seem to be styled in the theme. Rather, it appears to be hard-coded in date_combo.class.php (not an obvious location!).

The default (background color of #FFFF00 with inherited color), doesn't work well in all themes. For example, in the Slate theme, the highlighted search terms are unreadable.

At this moment, the only solution is to modify date_combo.class.php. This is not ideal, since it will get clobbered with an AppGini update (or even a recompile, if you're not careful).

It would be far better if this was added to the theme css somehow. Unfortunately, at a quick glance, there doesn't seem to be anything in the standard bootstrap themes that makes sense to use for this. Perhaps we may need another misc.css file to be included with misc non-bootstrap CSS items.

Please consider this, since it's rather awkward right now.

Thank you!

Thanks for your suggestion. I'll add this to the next release.
