Change css styling for slider widget

[JonathonFowler]

Hi,

I'm currently trying to change the colour and height of the bar, and also the icon used for the sliding if possible on the slider input widget, but the css page doesn't have any information on how to change the colour or height of the bar itself. I've attached an image for reference. I have attached what I currently have, and in a new comment attached what I want ideally. 

Thanks,

Jon

Attached how I want the slider to look like.

So yeah it's possible but a bit different as outer Widgets. The Slider use a small trick to generate the slidebar and this is not like the normal input in HTML so this is the reason i set the Background of input to transparent.

What does it means? The Slider uses the Input element of HTML and an Input can get some appearance css properties. This Properties are a bit different in for each browser. In the example and for Vuforia Studio you have to use the Chrome specific "-webkit.." properties.
Additionally an Input can get a type definition in case of a slider it called in HTML "range"
If we put these together we can define a new track (slidebar) and a new thumb.
The Problem you can't see this kind of CSS in the inspector, but if you google "range input css" you got more examples.

.customSlider.item {
  background-color: #01487f !important;
}
.customSlider {  
  i{
    color: white;
  }
  
  input {
    background: transparent;
  }
  
  input[type=range]::-webkit-slider-runnable-track {
    background: #0098D1;
    overflow: hidden;
    border-radius: 25px;
    height: auto;
    box-shadow: 2px 2px 10px black;
    margin:5px;
  }
  input[type=range]::-webkit-slider-thumb {
    border: 4px solid #12A910;
    height: 14px;
    width: 14px;
    border-radius: 100%;
    background: #ffffff;
    cursor: pointer;
    -webkit-appearance: none;
    box-shadow:  -2px 1px 8px #000000, calc(-100vw - 7px) 0 0 100vw #12A910;
  }
}

Hi Jon,

there are some parts of the css, that you can change and some parts, that are overwritten from annother directory. It seems that some of the changes you want to do, will get overwritten.

You can change the background color and the thumb color (the round thing you move around).

If you want to search for css to adjust the slider you best search for "range slider css"

Here is some code to play around with. You have to put "rangeCustom" into the class field of your slider properties.

Greetings

.rangeCustom input {
display: inline-block;
overflow: hidden;
margin-top: 5px;
margin-bottom: 5px;
padding-right: 2px;
padding-left: 1px;
width: auto;
height: 43px;
outline: none;
background: -webkit-gradient(linear, 50% 0%, 50% 100%, color-stop(0%, #ccc), color-stop(100%, #ccc));
background: linear-gradient(to right, #ccc 0%, #ccc 100%);
background-position: center;
background-size: 99% 2px;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
-webkit-appearance: none;
}
.rangeCustom input::-moz-focus-outer {
/* hide the focus outline in Firefox */
border: 0; }

.rangeCustom input::-webkit-slider-thumb {
position: relative;
width: 28px;
height: 28px;
border-radius: 50%;
background-color: #ff0000;
box-shadow: 0 0 2px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3), 0 3px 5px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2);
cursor: pointer;
-webkit-appearance: none;
border: 0;
}

.rangeCustom input::-webkit-slider-thumb:before {
/* what creates the colorful line on the left side of the slider */
position: absolute;
top: 13px;
left: -2001px;
width: 2000px;
height: 5px;
background: #ff0000;
content: ' '; }

.rangeCustom input::-webkit-slider-thumb:after {
/* create a larger (but hidden) hit area */
position: absolute;
top: -15px;
left: -15px;
padding: 30px;
content: ' '; }

.rangeCustom input::-ms-fill-lower {
height: 20px;
background: #00ff00; }

Not sure what happens to my prev answer but i build up a good example

.customSlider.item {
  background-color: #01487f !important;
}
.customSlider {  
  i{
    color: white;
  }
  
  input {
    background: transparent;
  }
  
  input[type=range]::-webkit-slider-runnable-track {
    background: #0098D1;
    overflow: hidden;
    border-radius: 25px;
    height: auto;
    box-shadow: 2px 2px 10px black;
    margin:5px;
  }
  input[type=range]::-webkit-slider-thumb {
    border: 4px solid #12A910;
    height: 14px;
    width: 14px;
    border-radius: 100%;
    background: #ffffff;
    cursor: pointer;
    -webkit-appearance: none;
    box-shadow:  -2px 1px 8px #000000, calc(-100vw - 7px) 0 0 100vw #12A910;
  }
}
