Pangolin Search problem
I almost made it! Followed the directions and tried not to make too many stupid mistakes. 2 minor problems, I need a gentle nudge with. Site: https://www.jamesherman.net/backlight/search/
1. My search page, when selecting the upper right icon, comes up with a white page and fills the screen. When I first installed the Pangolin update - i.e. before I mucked with it, I thought I had a black box of some size less than full window. Now cannot seem to find the setting to correct.
2. The text in the separate search page seems to be set to white with a white background and I have failed to find where to reset or change it.

Re: Pangolin Search problem
Did you assign an album template to the Search page?
Backlight > Publisher > Settings > Search Template

Re: Pangolin Search problem
Yes. I assigned my Pangolin Standard template which I use for all of my published galleries and they seem to work well. Unfortunately, only Search has a text entry box. My Contact form works fine, but it uses a the Pages template, I think.

Re: Pangolin Search problem
In the page template used for your search template, go to Typography > Forms > Text Color
See if changing that helps

Re: Pangolin Search problem
Tried that previously. Tried again and made sure to clear template cache and browser cache as well. Also tried on Chrome, IE and Firefox on Windows 10 and on Chrome on Android. I can say the problem is consistent.

Re: Pangolin Search problem
It looks like the text color is inherited from the main font color setting.
Try this in custom css:
input {
color: #000000;

Re: Pangolin Search problem
Strange that form isn't picking up the user-defined colors. I'll look into it. Thanks for finding this issue.
