Styles in single component are not applied

[mduerr18]

Hi guys,

my problem is following:

as you see my navbar has the background color red, so I styled my md-input in the navbar white. I defined those styles in my styles.scss, where I overwrite the styles of a prebuilt theme.

styles.scss:

Inside of the component you can see under the navbar, I want to overwrite the styles of the md-input because the background-color there is white and so you can´t even see the md-input. In the following screenshot you can see the stylesheet of the component:

these styles does not overwrite styles for my component. I also tried the single encapsulation types of angular 2, didn´t work either and I also tried the "/deep/" in my scss but this overwrites also the global styles.

thank you for your help,

kind regards,

Mario

Hey Mario, take a look at this guide. Your selectors are probably not specific enough.

That said, @jelbourn, what do you think about support for default contrast of inputs inside toolbars? Either automatically or via an "invert" property/color option? Placing search inputs in a toolbar seems like a common pattern.

While the spec doesn't every really make this super explicit, the kind of input you'd put in a toolbar like that is a variant called a "solo field". It doesn't have a floating label, errors, or hints (though it can have prefix/suffix). Based on how different they are, I consider this to be a totally separate component from our existing input (the form-field style).

Thank you guys for your answers,

@jelbourn do you know a good tutorial where you can see how to create such a solo field

Closing this since we don't intend to build this variant of text input (since there' not much to it- you can just use a native input)
