Origami Search Widget: How to add padding and shorten

I have placed a search widget in my footer, but as you can see from the attached screenshot, it’s an eye-sore. There’s no padding in between elements (like in between the words “Search for” and the search box, and the search box and the search button). The search box is also too long and it almost hits the next column of elements in my footer (recent posts). Is there a way to add this said padding and shorten the search box?

    Hi Geo222

    You can fix/change this with some custom CSS. If you navigate to AppearanceCustom CSS, you’ll get our custom CSS editor. Just add the following code.

    #footer-widgets input#s {
        max-width: 95%;
        margin-bottom: 10px;
    }
    

    You might also need to install the SiteOrigin CSS Editor.
