[vB4] Stylevar for forum search inputbox text color or background

[Meestor_X]

This might have been answered before, but the search here seems to be down.
I want to change the text color and background color of the search box that drops down from a forum's header. Not the global search, but the search box that is available on the Tools Menu, between "administrative" and "inline mod".
I'm looking to find out what stylevar change the text color and background color of that search inputbox.
I've tried firebug but all I see is "body" as a css element and I don't think that's it...

shade_color for the text in the searchbox (on focus, it is the body_color) and the background is not defined at all. You would need some custom css like:

/* forum search textinput background */
.popupbody li input.searchbox {
background: gray;
}

Thank you Lynne. body_color was what I was looking for, but it affects too many other things. Is there a tutorial or post I can find on how to add custom css as you've described?

Custom css goes in the additional.css template.

Got it. Thanks, Mark and Lynne!
