Hi, please provide more detailed description of what you are trying to do

[rp9994]

i want to create like this

[raulriera]

For that you will have to modify the code, there is option to supply an attributed text for the placeholder

Hi, I'm also having trouble adjusting the placeholder text. You say there is an option, but when I try to I get the error CoreText note: Client requested name ".SFUI-Regular", it will get TimesNewRomanPSMT rather than the intended font. All system UI font access should be through proper APIs such as CTFontCreateUIFontForLanguage() or +[UIFont systemFontOfSize:]. I am trying to make my sign in form compatible with dark mode. Thank You.

The error message is properly telling you what is going on, have you tried fixing the font first?

[julien-tamade]

Yeah I'm trying emailInput.attributedPlaceholder = NSAttributedString(string: "Test Email", attributes: [NSAttributedString.Key.foregroundColor: UIColor.red, NSAttributedString.Key.font: UIFont.systemFont(ofSize: 40)]) where emailInput is a HoshiTextField, but neither the color nor size attributes are affecting the placeholder text

[raulriera]

Ah I see, emailInput.attributedPlaceholder is a property of UITextField directly and bypassing the values in this library. You need to use

placeholderFontScale to change the size
placeholderColor to change the color

This library doesn't support changing the font via attributed text, is its a combination of those 2 properties mentioned and using the normal font property
