How can i make my Ask Box look like this?

Question

I want to make my ask box look like used on q2a website ( Blue border, White font and size a little less so that i get a more space upward for sidebar box).

Answer 1

Admin > Layout

from Available widgets section click on add widget link after Ask Box

and select pages you want and for place Main area - Top

>>>EDIT 1<<<

You need to modify classes below in qa-styles.css file of your theme.. 

.qa-ask-box{

background:#0087CA;

border:1px solid #005782;

border-radius: 3px;

}

.qa-ask-box .qa-form-tall-label{

font-weight:bold;

color: #fff;

text-transform: uppercase;

}

.qa-ask-box tr:hover{

background: none;

}

 

So in above classes you can change background color, text color etc..

 

>>>EDIT  2<<<

Add width property to .qa-ask-box

.qa-ask-box{

background:#0087CA;

border:1px solid #005782;

border-radius: 3px;

width:400px; //here change the value what you want

}

But i asked how to change the background and length of ask box, i know how to add it to pages.

I am sorry about that.. check my edited answer

Thanks..it worked but what about decreasing the length of ask box so that Side bar box gets a little up?

---

didn't get you... can you explain or any visual reference?

I mean that in default snow theme the ask box streches to full length of the page , but in the screen shot i added above it takes space till the red arrow only.

I want to decrease the length of ask box so that it ends before the sidebar box.

You mean you want to decrease width of the ask box? If that is the case than add width property to the .qa-ask-box class.. see my second edit in answer..
