Pumpkin. Your initial blue design is actually the most popular so far.

I just created a new version of the blue search button.

  • I didn't make any big changes, but I picked a less pixelated search icon and now the button color matches the search box a little more.
  • If you decide to use the new icon, your search box should look like this:
     
    Detailed preview:
    Preview on home page:
  • To get the rounded sides effect like you see in the image, you will need to make the button holder's border radius 5px for the top and bottom right.
  • You should also consider changing the search box border size to 1.5px for a more modern look. Then the search box will look like this:

Webp Format
 

(I can also make an SVG if you wish. You might also need to scale the images down to 58 x 35 pixels for it to fit properly in the search box.)

Thanks for the update! We made the changes on our homepage (you may need to do a screen refresh to see it) and will apply it to other sections.

Yeah, I really like doing all this stuff when I'm bored lol.

Also If you'd be interested in a modernized version of snowflat with new icons and bolder colors, let me know... It's been 9 years since that theme was updated and I'm working on creating a new version with slight improvements to make it more modern, like I did with your search box. 

Here is an example preview of the snowflat modernizations.

The brighter colors look nice. If anyone else has any feedback on it, please comment below.

It looks pretty nice, retaining the main look of the current Snowflat on here while adding some modernity (like the new icons).
by (1.34m points)

I can email you the files if you'd like to use it to replace snowflat. I can also modify the theme if you have any ideas about changing something. The theme also comes with improvements to the FAQ plugin too.

Also, I made some more suggestions to improve KT here if you want to look at those. 

by (342k points)
These are great suggestions! Updating Polaris will be done soon and we can include their improved Updates and FAQ.  

We want to keep Snowflat as the default for now, but will look at incorporating some of your improvements. You can use support "at" kidzsearch.com to send us files.
by (1.34m points)
Sounds good. You can certainly just update the colors yourself if you ever want to use them. The icons are called "Material icons" by Google.

Speaking of icons, I created a new version of my KT logo since it's been a few years. 

The chat icon in the middle of the logo could use an update, so I found a nice, modern icon that pairs well with the font. About the font, I made a few adjustments make the logo less "tall" and more typical looking.
 

Here's a preview of what it looks like when paired with my new theme:

And here's what it looks like on normal Kidztalk with snowflat:



Here's the logo on the frapuchino theme:


 

Here's a completely unnecessary side-by-side comparison:

Finally, here's the link to the full-size, transparent logo in case you want to use it. Since it's been a few years, I thought that it might be a small, refreshing change.

It looks nice. Would be interested in feedback from other users. The original has a more square chat icon which matches the square text, but we are open to changing it.
by (1.34m points)
I guess something about the new icon seemed to match the text really well to me.

I'd also be interested in getting feedback from the other users.

This is unrelated but can you change my username to all lowercase letters? I don't want to ask a whole question just about that so I'm doing it here.

Did they change the search bar and the button? That's pretty cool. I can't see it on the app.
