You can add teh search title by adding “Search” in your widget title. For the menu topics, it can be doe using CSS
I need to know specifically how to add a color to the highlighted title
I have “search” as the title of the widget and it does not display the title
Remove
position: absolute !important;
in the styles.css file on line 496 . This will make search show again.
You need to change what ever line if controlling .current_page_item in your style sheet as well
I found this in your stylesheet (http://visualmarketingpartners.org/wp-content/themes/twentyeleven/style.css)
#access .current-menu-item > a,
#access .current-menu-ancestor > a,
#access .current_page_item > a,
#access .current_page_ancestor > a {
font-weight: bold;
}
Right now the only thing it’s doing for the current page is to make the font bold. If you want the background a different color, you would add the color as a hexcode (http://www.colorpicker.com/) so for example:
#access .current-menu-item > a,
#access .current-menu-ancestor > a,
#access .current_page_item > a,
#access .current_page_ancestor > a {
font-weight: bold;
background-color: #349414;
}
If you make that change in your stylesheet, it will change the current tab’s color.
As for the search form, that’s a bit trickier because that is something that really has to do with how the theme is set up. I’m wondering why you want the search box to say “search” above it since it already says “search” inside the search box?
Janelle you rock! It’s exactly what I needed.
The search box doesn’t say search for me on either my PC or Mac. I want it blatently obvious for users its not a box with a magnifying glass but where they can search for something.
